There's this thing that's been happening lately where a prospective hire gets interviewed for a job, knocks it out of the park, and then on the first day of their new job, someone completely different shows up claiming to be the person who was interviewed. Unsurprisingly at a lot of corporations they get away with it because who checks on these things? But bosses are starting to notice. Now that they've noticed, they're starting to investigate and find others who were doing the same thing.
I'm just sad that the bosses are figuring it out and firing these people. One would think that in a capitalist society, the guy who works the hardest, even if it includes cheating (sometimes *especially* if it includes cheating), is the guy who should get the job, right? Then again, I'm still murky on the rules of capitalism. I believe that drug dealers are the greatest capitalists alive, and all that gets them is prison time.
Regardless, I scanned the news articles I read about this phenomenon, and it strikes me that there isn't a word for this practice. Not even for convenience's sake. Well, this is probably a new thing. No one's gotten around to it yet.
Except I searched a little more and found out this goes back to the Covid era, 2021 to be specific. After four years of this happening, we should have a word for it. I thought about this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long, trying to think of something clever. Nothing has yet to present itself, so I'm going to recommend that we call this process the "interdupe." It is to be encouraged. The bosses no longer give a fuck about reading our resumes. Why should we make things easy on them? Corporations take so much from us. Fuck 'em. Let's take something back. It galls me to link to Buzzfeed, but they describe some methods you might want to think about using yourself, so here it is.
A word of advice? When you're looking for an interduper, try to find someone who at least resembles you. The bosses aren't *that* stupid.
