Oof. Yes, but on the other had, I appreciate that sort of flag so I know not to apply. It's worse when they say they want you to work collaboratively with strategic stakeholders and then once you get on, you realize their definition of collaboration is total obliteration of all reason.

it does feel particularly wild to have a line in a jd that openly asks you to abuse your vendor, even if they’re using bs language to say it
