“I thought you were in HR for years, Scott. How could you?”
I was. I worked in many different companies and sectors. Government, Manufacturing, Fortune 500. I’ve been on all sides of the table too.

Does this make them bad companies? No, I don’t think so. In fact, I think in some cases it might even make them more responsible!
But, all the situations that were “exceptions to the rule” (i.e. not posted) were either better jobs, higher paying than normal, or jobs created specifically with a person in mind.
