because other places aren't hiring at a similar salary and benefits

because other places aren't hiring ~~at a similar salary and benefits~~ just putting out ghost listings to scare their employees into accepting the crap they're dealt

or even worse than that, I've seen so many listings that are just training AI to eventually do your job. like they have a human there to ask why and try to understand how to perform the job function, but they're teaching both the human and the AI at the same time.

job market is in a really shitty place in the U.S. right now.
