I moved to Savannah GA, like the actual downtown part of the city where all the tours are. And while looking for jobs, many say they’re in Savannah, when in reality they’re outside of it in OTHER cities/towns. Just because you’re in the metropolitan area doesn’t mean you’re IN it. If your city has a different name, it’s not apart of it. That’s lying to try and reach people, hoping they’ll commute 30 or 45 mins.
When I lived in Massachusetts, and you said you worked in Boston, it meant Boston…in the city, somewhere. You don’t post Boston when the job is in Concord ma. It’s just considered the GREATER Boston area. But it’s not Boston. Thus, you would write “Concord” or “Sudbury”. Blah blah blah. When I moved to north Jersey, I lived in Hoboken. And while that is near NYC, it’s not NY. It’s NJ.
If you live in Cherry Hill NJ. It’s not Philly. It may be 20 mins away, but it’s not Philly. It’s still Cherry Hill NJ!
See what I mean? For some reason I constantly see “Savannah” on so many job posts more than I ever did in MA or NJ, just straight up lying about the location. It’s pissing me off!
I have to constantly look up these places to make sure they’re actually where I live, not some other town in disguise 25+ mins from me. Getting OUT of the city takes long enough. I moved to the city from a suburb town so I didn’t have to travel 40 mins to a job. It defeats the purpose of why I moved here! Fucking A! These companies are getting pathetic.
Gas is pricy. Rent is pricy, and you’re not paying us SHIT. So you can take your long commutes and shove it up your ass where it belongs.
