No. A waiting list entry for an unreleased tier is not a filed case. The current route is the Gold Card: pay the US$15,000 fee through the official application, follow the USCIS instructions for the I-140G and supporting documents, complete vetting, and make the gift only when instructed. Nothing about a queue converts into a filed case through the passage of time, and no one on such a list thereby acquires a priority date, a place in a line that exists, or a document that can be shown to an employer.
What being in the queue does and does not give you
A Platinum waiting-list acknowledgment is not an immigrant petition receipt or a grant of status. If a US role is time-sensitive, assess available immigration options and any existing work authorization on their own terms. Lawful permanent residence generally permits work, but other valid authorizations may also do so; a waiting-list entry or Gold Card payment adds none by itself.
The failure that follows is a person who stops looking. Believing themselves already in process, they allow an existing status to lapse, decline to explore a route they may qualify for today, and reach a decision point with nothing filed anywhere at all. Put one question to any queue you have joined: what document would I hold at the end of it, and which authority issues that document.
Where nobody can name the issuer, what you joined is a mailing list rather than a route.
