"Bolsa de pitutos": diputados UDI ofician a Dipres por creación de 94 mil empleos públicos en un año

So, I was just reading this article about some politicians in Chile trying to create over 90,000 new government jobs in just one year. It’s crazy to think about! According to the article, the politicians who are pushing for these new jobs are all part of the UDI party. They’re essentially trying to create what they’re calling a “Bolsa de pitutos,” which means a job market that’s based on personal connections rather than merit or experience.

Now, I don’t know about you, but this sounds pretty sketchy to me. I mean, shouldn’t people get hired based on their qualifications and skills? It doesn’t seem fair to give jobs to people just because they know someone in power.

It’s worth noting that the politicians are just asking for the jobs to be created, they haven’t actually been approved yet. But if they do end up getting the green light, it could have some serious implications for the job market in Chile.

Personally, I’ve seen the effects of a job market that’s heavily based on connections rather than merit. When I was in college, one of my friends got an internship at a big marketing agency because her dad knew someone who worked there. She barely did any work and ended up getting paid a ton of money, while other interns who actually put in effort didn’t get paid at all. It just goes to show how unfair this system can be.

Overall, I think it’s important to keep an eye on this situation in Chile and see how it develops. If these new jobs do end up getting created, it could have a big impact on the economy and the way people get hired. Let’s hope they make the right decision and prioritize merit over personal connections.
