This, but unironically. My current company lined up three different candidates for a job I needed them to fill, fully knowing that the guy I advised they hire was the only remotely competent pick. They just had to do a show of sizing up other contenders so they could report to their higher ups that "We looked at three people and this one was the best".
this is toxic relationship advice bs
what next? they flirt with other candidates in front of you to see if you get jealous and fight for them?

when do they do the fake break-up to see how much the candidate comes running back?
Salary negotiations, typically.
I'm polyamorous so I'll just hope they're getting along too
