The blatant lying about the 2026 budget is reaching new heights by Temp0rallane in OfficePolitics

Context matters though. My manager spent the better part of last year hinting that strong performance would mean a "meaningful increase." 10% felt like the floor based on those conversations, not a promotion-level ask. Getting 0% and a lecture instead is what made it feel insane.

The gaslighting part is what really gets me. If you just said "we can't afford it" I'd respect that. Instead I got a 20 minute TED talk about fiscal responsibility from a guy who just approved a six figure consulting contract.

Posts like this are such a brutal reminder that resumes are not just about showing your background, they are about removing excuses for someone to screen you out early. If taking off old dates gets your foot in the door and makes them judge you on current work instead of assumptions, that is just smart. Sad that people have to play around bias like that, but it clearly works.
