I have seen job ads that vanish after two days - ghost jobs. People apply, interview, and find nothing ever existed. Makes me wonder: are we selling ourselves into real roles or illusions? Is anyone vetting job ads anymore, or is everything just noise?

That could be a ghost job. It could also be a real job that an employer posted knowing full well that they were going to give it to an internal candidate. I've seen a lot of that as well.

That is exactly the problem. Half the time it is a ghost job, the other half it is an internal hire wrapped in a public posting. Either way, it wastes candidates time while giving companies cover.

The problem with vetting job posts is that it's unclear who would vet them. Companies post what they want, and they're responsible for them. People talk about outlawing the posting of ghost jobs, but I don't even know how that would work. Even if such a law came along, the authorities, whoever they would be, couldn't prove that a company didn't intend to hire someone when they posted the job.

That is true. Even if someone tried to regulate it, companies could claim they intended to hire until the very last second. It feels like the whole system relies on trust, and right now the trust is not there

Where are my home cooks at?

I'm entertaining guests and picked up a black summer truffle on a whim, trying to decide what to do with it. I've got some rib eyes and will be making mashed potato as well (among other things).

After sous vide and searing the steaks I was going to cook fresh rosemary and thyme in some butter before spooning them over the steaks while resting to heat them up a bit immediately before serving.

I think I've got my truffle 101 now so sounds like (cont)
