As if continuous layoffs is not enough for those employed by management, which includes TD very own incompetent ELT, 'Ghost jobs' are now their latest hobby to further inflict pain on those seeking jobs. Yes, it does happen at this toxic place.
Granted it's not just this place, but yes, it does happen at this place. Job postings have been made just for posting sake to field candidates with no intention of hiring them. This is often done for compliance sake when a desired (qualified or not) is identified internally. Other reasons per below.
So sad why management resort to such behaviors, no wonder no one trust them and especially TD ELT.
Why are some of these job openings left online for so long? The most common explanation is that some companies truly have standing openings, and that they are always open to hiring the right applicant when they come along. However, a significant number of managers also shared that the openings are kept active because the jobs simply don't exist.
Of those surveyed, 43 percent of managers said they post job openings online in order to give the impression that the company is growing. Another 43 percent said that they posted job openings to keep current employees motivated. And 34 percent took that one step further and said they kept online job posts active in order to placate overworked employees.
So basically, nearly half of the hiring managers surveyed said that their company posted jobs with the intent to bolster their company's image, or provide false hope to their understaffed workforce that help was on the way."
