I have lied to companies several times for friends to help them get jobs. I make them sound like amazing workers and they got the jobs the 3 times i have done it

Same here.. and i’ve had friends lie for me as well, to cover gaps in employment on my resume or whatever.. or just to give a glowing review for my performance, even if the company i worked for at the time was a dysfunctional mess that impeded financial success.

In today’s world, companies will cut you loose at the drop of a hat with zero notice, and there is no loyalty.. So in my opinion, if you aren’t hustling, then you aren’t trying.
