Good news, job seekers! One of the most denigrated companies in America is currently hiring a lobby.
Robinhood trading app posted a list for a federal business manager on a variety of jobs on Friday, giving lucky applicants a chance to promote a company that has managed to publicly unify Ted Cruz, AOC, Elizabeth Warren and Steve Cohen. outraged at his decision to stop users from trading stocks like GameStop in the middle of the so-called “Reddit Rally”.
The Washington DC concert is described on RobinHood’s website as focusing on “federal advocacy and government affairs related to legislative and regulatory issues.” The company said it was “looking for a highly adaptable and collaborative person who could deal with ambiguity and quickly change priorities with flexibility and patience.”
With about a dozen or more DC politicians calling for more light to be shed on the company in the past 24 hours, the company is looking for someone with “substantial work experience for a member of Congress or a committee of Congress.”
The post is based on requests from legislators and investors to examine trading restrictions on popular stocks among small investors, such as GameStop.
Even the Securities and Exchange Commission intervened. In a rare move, the agency said it would examine restrictions that brokerages, such as Robinhood, have placed on GameStop, AMC Entertainment and other shares pumped by start-up investors on Reddit’s “WallStreetBets” forum.
“The Commission will closely examine the actions taken by regulated entities that could disadvantage investors or unjustifiably inhibit their ability to trade certain securities,” SEC Secretary-General Allison Herren Lee said in a joint statement with others. three commissioners of the agency.
Robinhood chief Vlad Tenev again defended the restrictions on Friday, saying he was confident the company would defend itself against a class action lawsuit filed late Thursday.
Robinhood did not respond to a request for comment on the listing.
