Ask HN: Why are job adverts misleading about WFH?
3 by accengaged | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm trying to find a proper list of WFH (Work from Home) jobs, specifically in Australia. I think it's misleading to have an option for "Location" as "Work from Home" then allow ads that don't fit this description. I've used https://seek.com.au however I'm finding that it's increasingly normal for employers to advertise their jobs as "Hybrid WFH" with some being as bad as 1-day per week out of the office. If I wanted a "Hybrid WFH" selection, I would happily choose that. It's like these companies think gaming the system will magically stop employees from reading job adverts. Personally I'm just doing it out of curiosity - I've been in a WFH role for a while now and think a hybrid option might be better overall for mental / physical health but I'm still annoyed at this weird culture of false-advertising roles to find candidates. Discuss?
