And how many businesses lie about how good they are as employers.

I mean what do you expect. If you say something like "I lost my previous job because of flatulence" then its not likely that you will get employed.
I had a friend who had been employed by an employer who new full well they were going under, and yet they enticed this person to quit their stable job with promises of car, insurance etc. Only to be made redundant three months later. This is not the only time I have seen this happen. There are a lot of “phantom” jobs out there.
The attitude is “well you took the job”
I think employers need to go though the same process as employees when it comes to recruiting. Employers should be asked for reference and credit checks before an employee accepts any job. After all the employee has more to loose if things go pear shaped.
Give us a break.
