I'm looking into a potential story about job seeking on LinkedIn and I would love to hear from folks who have *not* been financially scammed but felt like a job listing or prospective employer they've interviewed with had ulterior motives. Send tips to reeltalkonline@gmail.com.

yesterday we had a truce in the house as 2 out of the three fuzzies wanted to sit on me

who does not need emotional support chicken sometimes?

Nodding sagely about being inclusive, while also complaining not being allowed to just throw up a Squarespace site for their particular thing.
Everyone is an ally until it involves plans or effort.
facts
do we tell recruters we can't see
