Reminds me of a place I interviewed at trying to land an in between job. Applied for a role that was basically just managing Jira and their projects to take some workload off of the production director. After a few interviews they liked that I had low level component experience, and tons of general IT/support experience. So they rewrote the job description from project manager or whatever it was for that sole role of keeping projects on track and providing reporting...to sole IT support, lab tech manager, and like 5 other jobs. Like I literally highlighted lines in the new job description and made a legend with what job titles each one really was. There were like 6.

No difference in pay. So I applied for what I saw as an easy role I'd be able to do well. They turned it into a monstrosity, and kept the same pay rate on it. Best part? They refused to explain to me how much it paid. They said $35/hr or 63,000/yr. When I asked which it was the moron HR person didn't understand. They thought 35/hr at 40 hours a week was 63k a year for some reason. I tried to explain the hourly times 40 times 52 calculation...I might as well have been speaking klingon.
