> You're completely ignoring

There are nicer ways to express your meaning. I haven’t ignored anything.

These traits are often not offered by the employer. Why do I keep hearing people talk about the underhanded ways that companies try to obfuscate salary budgets if not because they’re dishonest? I certainly see that as dishonesty; where are they coming from to demand such honesty from their candidates?

They get honesty anyway but that doesn’t mean I can convince them of it. If a person wants to assume guilt in someone, that is often what happens. You may not have experienced a person power-tripping over you but that’s been a good portion of my life and it’s hard to miss the patterns in a modern job interview.

To be clear, I’m not advocating for one to be dishonest. The person using ChatGPT to supplement their knowledge is not being dishonest; that’s my claim. The interviewer feels like the candidate “cheated”. Oh well. Too bad the interviewer isn’t above pejoratives. Gotta call it “cheating” so they can dismiss the candidate as dishonest. How dishonest!
