compliment baiting

Not to be confused with compliment fishing, compliment baiting is the act of talking about oneself or their achievements, then pausing to wait for someone else to chime in to compliment them.

“when logan was telling his story he paused after he said he beat the guy talking shit to him during his match, he’s compliment baiting”

bait job

A job that is posted by a company and/or recruiter with the intention of never filling the position. Some reasons for this include gathering resumes to "see what's out there" or to make it appear to the public that they are growing more than they actually are. More nefarious motives include harvesting people's personal data or using the job as part of a bait and switch, where people apply for one job but are instead directed towards another, usually less desirable, one during the interview process.

Fooled by another bait job. I applied for "Lead Software Developer" but was told at the interview I'd be a better fit for "Janitor."
