Ghost Job?

Ghost jobs are jobs that have either been open for a very long time or that have been taken down and re-posted multiple times with little change. Companies do this when they don't really intend to fill a role but want to appear to be healthy, growing, and hiring to outside parties. Note that I can't say with 100% confidence that the roles listed here are ghost jobs, but they're pretty sus.

Senior Manager, Enterprise & Strategic Support OpenClosed The rest of the job description seems fine. And while the pay is good for this role, it isn't for frontline roles, which pisses me off, so into Tread Carefully it goes.

VP, Customer Support & Revenue Cycle Management OpenClosed Pay is great, but I dunno, man. You'd be putting a lot of faith in the goodwill of people who can fire you if you don't somehow influence them to run the company properly. I'm calling BINGO on this one.

Social Media and Community Lead OpenClosed The new JD is much shorter (I've pasted it below, above the old one), but it has many of the same problems as the original. It should still be a more senior title, it still doesn't list any actual benefits, and there's still no salary transparency. In BINGO it remains!

Lead Technical Support Engineer OpenClosed Honestly, this job description is pretty forgettable. It's not terrible, but it's not good either; candidates get very little information about the structure of the team they'd be leading, and the only hint at culture we get is a single bullet about the office being pet-friendly.

Technical Support Analyst OpenClosed "High stakes" in a job like this means the product doesn't work, or only works enough to be dangerous. You're there as a human shield between the customer and the product, and I promise it isn't even as fun as it sounds.
