This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Worked in companies where the owners family for hired for multiple roles. As long as they are not incompetent I don't really care that they didn't send out fake job adverts. If they were incompetent then fake job ads won't help.
because it's a requirement to do so and it looks bad if you don't. especially if your company is public facing.
it's about plausible deniability, to avoid accusations or legal cases of of discrimination, either criminal or civil.
Hiring someone without interviewing anyone else isn't discrimination
