The way I see it is that they’re looking to exploit me for as much as they can get, so I have no obligation to treat them with any more respect than that. I don’t lie, but I have no problem taking a single instance where I worked next to a couple newbies for an hour and gave them pointers and turning it into “trained and oversaw new hires to ensure proper workflow protocol” on my resume.
Carry the new guy? If you’re lying on your resume to say you have skills that you don’t really have, then you’re not doing it right. You’re supposed to figure out what your skills actually are, then embellish your resume to make those skills shine on paper. I’ve never had anything but glowing reviews from my employers because I made sure to apply for jobs that suited my skills, and formatted my resume to help me get hired. I’m good at training newbies, but my first employer didn’t trust me with that responsibility, so I embellished a bit on my resume to make sure my second employer trusted me enough to let me make use of that skill, and pay me accordingly.

i hate working with people like this
you can fool HR but not your coworkers for long and I sure as fuck don’t want to carry the new guy moreso if he’s making more than me

Yeah. Embellishing the truth is a much better strategy for job seeking.
Maybe I should lie about being a sous chef so I can work at a Antarctica base as a chef…
