Why do employers lie during interviews!? Because they can get away with it?

This is my second job after graduating where the job was falsely advertised and misrepresented. I absolutely hate this, it hurts people's careers.

    @horus that's right - expect the worst. Unless employer is very open about what you're going to do, but hey, it's only a moment away from fairy tale.

    What kind of lies? A shitty project does not hurt career much. Must be something different.

    @hjk101 you are correct, shitty projects do not hurt the career, it's everything else.

    @magicMirror Glassdoor is next to useless, like Amazon reviews. Every employer is bombed by people who write uncritical, unthoughtful reviews like:

    "Grate place to wokr. Good benefits, work life balance"

    I also worked at a previous employer who would stage mandatory team-building events, feed us, butter us up, and remind us to write reviews ("good or bad") after we'd had a few beers.

    Any crowdsource system can be gamed like this.
    Try to beat it by writing an actual review.

    @magicMirror My one trick that makes review sites hate me is to focus only on the negative reviews and see if they have anything in common lol
