yeah pretty much. and also, the managers don't understand that this is going on and is why they cant find workers.
i know a guy who manages a department in a grocery store. his daughter tried to get a part time position in the same company and never made it to the humans because she's had 3 jobs in 5 years. he went to his boss and his boss got on the line with hr and told them to hire her, the boss didnt know hr was screening people that way, which is absolutely asinine in the grocery business.
