Is it illegal to create a fake job offer letter for a pay raise or to obtain housing or a new job? (hexbear.net)

I’ve got a potential employer who I’m trying to strong arm into giving me an offer letter by telling them this other company also wants me. Is it illegal if I create a fake document to show them?

Illegal? Probably.* Unethical? Fuck no. Lie on your resume, lie on your housing application, lie to get a raise. The whole fucking system is trash, don't play by their rules.

Probably better to use a fake company though, your potential employer is probably going to google it and might even give them a call.

Fuck, do you really think it’s illegal? Really do not give a fuck about the ethics of it.

It might turn out to be if the position has some level of professional responsibility (like doctor, engineer, lawyer, anything with fiduciary duty). Fraud in some careers is more meaningful than in others.
