What's up with all these vague and incomplete job descriptions these days?

You know... I understand and respect the concept of "other duties as assigned", so I have no problem when I read this sentence in a job description. These days, however, it seems employers are playing a lot of "bait and switch" in terms of the way they write and publish certain job descriptions.

Here's some of the crap they're doing:

• Write the job description under one "job title" while the actual duties and responsibilities require the experience and training of yet another (perhaps to justify paying the person they hire less).
• Write the job description to cover a "range of positions" that the average person cannot even compete for due to so much variance. (I think this is mostly a small business tactic.)
• Write the job description with an incomplete range of duties and responsibilities that leaves the EXPECTED range of duties and responsibilities open for interpretation and/or assumption. I can only assume that this tactic is used to draw good candidates for a position the company already KNOWS will suck, and virtually no one with a professional range of experience and training will touch it... but these are the people they want. SMH
• Write the job description to indicate the need for reliable transportation without telling the candidate(s) upfront that he/she has to use their own private vehicle to perform the duties of an hourly position (not 1099... but W-2 hourly)… and with no compensation for gas/mileage!

There's a lot of BS out there, and granted "someone" will take these jobs simply because they need a job, but God bless the people who have options! Sometimes I get the sense that some employers don't want "employees"... they want suckers and slaves!
