Non-competes and ghost job postings — which one is the more dishonest practice quietly hurting workers right now?

Options

• Non-competes. Trapping someone from earning a living in their own field is worse.
• Ghost job postings. Wasting people's time and hope for fake vacancies is its own cruelty.
• Both come from the same place — companies optimizing for leverage over people.
• Neither bothers me much, this is just how labor markets have always worked.
