GTB Detroit (VML) is not hiring. I think it's safe to say that as I have seen that Art Director role (which I interviewed for) reposted and reposted for months.

Is there any way to expose this? I messaged LinkedIn cause I'm so sick of the bullsh*t.

Note it to yourself and move on. Act as though the listing doesn’t exist. There’s nothing to be gained by “exposing” them.

There is plenty to be gained by exposing all of them doing this, but not much you can gain from just this one agency.

Ignore people like CD1 and those liking their comment. They’re the problem.

They are likely privy to these ghost roles from their own agencies and if not, they’re going to be aligned with pushing these ghost roles whenever they rank up to be the decision maker.

You’re making a lot of assumptions here, CS1.

I’m not advocating for this kind of behavior from agencies. I happen to find it just as irritating as anyone else.

But fixating on a single role will only hold you back. Thinking about it in terms of retribution,as OP is, is even worse.

If you think I’m some kind of evil puppet master feel free to ignore me, but I’m giving advice based on some hard-learned lessons of my own.

There is nothing to “expose.” This is bad practice and it wastes the time and hopes of applicants, but there is nothing illegal about it and it’s not against the rules of any of the posting platforms. Just because something sucks doesn’t mean that there’s a higher arbiter of fairness to appeal to.

Thoughts on giving less than 2 weeks notice?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?
