This is exactly the experience you get with a military recruiter, but on some other deep level of cohesion and intimidation. It's like the used car dealer of legend that your dad (or mom, to be fair) told you about and never to trust them much like the class of mechanics that were (and some if not most?) dishonest about what you were being sold as a service or job detail. I remember going through the Air Force wanted para-rescue CC (specifically the path to get there, not the direct application into) and man was a sold a bill of goods. Grades amazing, physically (at that time not an software developer [slowly slouching fat sloth profile in 2022]) fit, and ready for a career in the service. The promises that dude that recruited me were legendary. My pops was a military and the whole family basically, and even he was amazed at what I was offered. He eventually said to go to college and if you wanted it go to OCS school. Point being, this is not new in times of great demand on talent - in my case, it was retention of and callbacks that active duty members trying to retire were experiencing during the first decade of our involvement in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts. Its insane, how some talent is scouted in this way. But .. if its on paper, through the process its grounds for legal action. Will it ever happen? depends, but most likely not. Just walk into the interviews with open eyes and be authentic, and most importantly honest on some level about this in specific going forward. I'd say use it for all relationships you want professionally, because well - "it's just business" in the end.
