Keep feeding them BS. Embellish your past experience (within reason), make yourself look good. Management has zero qualms about lying to you, regardless if you're a prospective hire or have been working for them for decades. So might as well do the same thing.
I always tell the interviewer what they want to hear. Its very obviously a game of correct answers.
I lie on my resume too, but not in ways I can't back up.
For instance, I imply I have a degree because I did go to college for 4 consecutive years for a multitude of degrees. So I have different resumes with different majors depending on what job I'm applying to. I mostly use my CS/Engineering degree now-a-days. I'm able to talk the talk enough that they've never checked or asked for a transcript.
But it sounds more like your job wanted to, on paper, be compliant with workers rights stuff
"We offer a break at X and Y hours."
But had a cultural expectation to not follow it. Which is dumb and they can, in my humble opinion, get fucked. Nursing has a massive burnout rate and shit like that is why.
I think you should recognize you dodged a bullet more than you should think about "lying" in an interview.
I realized you just need to suck it up and tell them how glad you are to work for such prestigious company and blah blah blah.
Fucking companies I wish they could be erased as the cancer they are.
When someone asks you questions, it's also an opportunity to ask them questions back, to find out if you're heading for an environment you don't wanna be in.
I'm autistic and really difficult to lie and I have been without a job for 15 years. So I guess it's important to lie I guess?
How do you live? Fellow autist here.
I don't. I am on low income housing with food stamps, barley able to eat and my mom who lives in another state is helping me with essentials at least tell she hasn't no money or dies then I'm probably going to go with her on that part tbh.
