it appears that a large number of companies post fake job openings, with no intention of hiring, to keep the "morale up", and also trick existing overworked employees. They even do interviews with absolutely no intention of hiring. I have no words. https://www.resumebuilder.com/3-in-10-companies-currently-have-fake-job-posting-listed/

@djlink I'm curious if this could possibly be happening in the UK too (or Portugal), or if it's a particularly American phenomenon. We do have *slightly* more worker's rights than they do.

@nottrobin my guess is it happens a bit everywhere, I doubt this is a new phenomenon

@djlink oh yeah, a bit. But not to the tune of 40%. I've now been at hiring level in two UK-based companies and even though there's obviously stuff here I'm not happy about, I never got a sniff of this level of calculated lying. Although TBF it could have now started to happen, or happened outside my view, at my last place. They were "growth-hack"y and amoral enough.
