I'd argue that false data doesn't achieve this, it just confuses everything. Using an analogy in programming terms, it would be like `job_title <- Maybe "NULL"` whereas they really ment `job_title <- Nothing`.

I do agree with this. If they stick with this policy it would be better if they use some unambiguous title like “Former Employee”.
