"You won't believe the ways employers can legally lie to you."

Oh yes I can, Josh.

My wife got a remote job and 2 weeks in the policy changed and they wanted us to move to Arizona hahahahahhaa

'Flexible' schedule means that YOU are expected to be flexible.

We really should be able to prosecute corporations for fraud in hiring. Or at least sue them.

My mom got hired for a job with the understanding that 3 days a month she would be commuting to an office 50 minutes from where she lived.

However, once she got the job, the boss told her that she would be commuting everyday to this office. When my mom said that wasn't what was promised, she was told 'you work where I tell you to work'..and my mom quit

[jermainemyrn]

Companies lie so much, I just say "uh then I quit down the road randomly with no notice

[Ark_Strike]

Its so disgusting how corporations can lie directly or by omission, bait and switch and just get away with it unless you have Nintendo Level Lawyers but if one person lies to a corporation and harms them then that person will be dealt so harshly it would make a Guantanamo Bay warden blush

Life is too short and precious to become a employee for dishonest person.

Way back in the 80's (yes. I'm that old) I was hired as on-site support for currency counting, sorting, and verification systems (room size machines) and told that once I had a good grasp on those systems I would be cross trained on the cheque handling systems at another location. After about 18 months I had things running better than ever and down time was at an all-time low so I asked my manager about starting the training on the other systems. He responded that the bank's cash manager was very happy with the way things were so they weren't going to cross train me. I gave my 2 weeks notice on the spot and told him I was quitting because he had lied to me. Manager had all sorts of excuses and didn't consider it a lie. I am much older now and I wouldn't believe an employer if he told me the sun was going to rise in the morning.

If you want to lock in remote work, only apply for out of state jobs. Also, the younger a company is, the more likely they are to support remote work.

I was lied to by a job I've applied to. It was at a law firm and the job title said Data Entry. I got the job and was doing paralegal work for just 16.00 hr. They literally lied in the interview and said it was just data entry. But I was doing receptionist work, personal assistant and paralegal work.

A lot of these corporate lies fit the legal definition of "Fraud". There is no precedence on it because nobody has challenged an employer in court about it. Sounds like a good lawsuit to set precedence if anyone wants to be famous.

[toddspangler]

Joshua, you should do one on how Salary is abused by companies. "We mainly work 40hrs" then the lied to employee ends up working 60-70 hrs weekly.

My accountant friend says when she does the math, she's making what a McDonald's employee makes doing her 70hr a week job.

[montecrucis]

You, as an applicant, have to justify changing jobs/being fired/gaps on your CV while employers have no obligation on how many employees they have disposed or how long positions weren't filled. Hypocrisy all over.

[CAVEMANable]

Zombie companies, zombie jobs. This is par for the course. The social contract is officially broken.

[jackcarraway]

You can make anything sound cool by including the word "engineer".

Janitor: Sanitation Engineer

Cook: Food Engineer

Garbageman: Waste Collection Engineer

The section about promised raises or pay increases happened recently. In the job interview and the initial phone call, I was promised X amount after X period but since it was never written any where or "on the record, " company went "hahaha it was akchually for X amount for the first X period." Make sure you have EVERY DETAIL in writing OR on the record some how.

[gleaming]

I joined a company as a repair technician, They literally gave me a phone book and told me to start cold calling companies.
I never got paid for my 1 hour on the job.

This is a JUNIOR DEVELOPER position... Proceeds to give me leetcode hard questions

[haydend]

Yeah I worked at a company that had a wide range of duties, technical platforms, and codebases to work on. They do this because they aren’t organized and they need employees to take the products end to end for them. It’s a bad sign when you see a job posting with many obligations like this and it’s dumb on the employer’s part to be transparent about it. At least at my job the unfair expectations were not put in explicit writing and they could manipulate associate employees more effectively. If you have to do all of that work for a quick buck you might as well be trying to run a business.
