Have you ever been bait-and-switched when applying for a new job?

Have you ever showed up the first day, only to realize the job listing, offer letter, or details discussed during the interview ended up having nothing to do with the actual team or job responsibilities they gave you? I started a new job this week! And the only thing that actually matched what we discussed in the interview were the pay and benefits. I ended up on a different team, different manager from offer letter, different tech stack from what was discussed in interview and job posting (I'm a software dev), and the nature of their company culture turned out to have far more micro-management than what was proudly proclaimed in the interview. Anyone else been blatantly misled in order for them to get a body in a chair?
