My group was trying to hire a person. My boss had already talked to him and I was the final interview. As I interviewed this person I began to realize that he was talking about doing things we did not do or had no real plans to do. I realized my boss had been "embellishing" the job. I felt obliged to correct his thinking.

I cannot count how many times I have see this happen. Employers flat out lying about their jobs in order to get an employee. They usually have an issue with hiring because they will not pay the going rate so they try entice engineers saying they have projects that are really interesting. Then when you get in the door - "priorities" mysteriously change.
