How to deal with ethical issues with my job?

I’ve been working here for 3 months now and it’s funny because I get along well with everyone and we actually talk like friends unlike my last job. I don’t feel like I’m walking as eggshells. As much as I get along with everyone in out small office and other office, apparently things were going around with the team that I didn’t really know such as people telling on each other over stupid things, keeping tabs, disagreeing, etc. and them saying this is the most toxic work environment it has become. I am just staying out of it.

Anyway, I work for a staffing agency. You might’ve even heard of it. My partner and I handle a client you might’ve heard of too. Well, their demands are ridiculous. We filled all their openings during the holiday rush and head count is full. Now they demand 50 interviews a week and make me lie to people they have jobs so they stick around IN CASE an opening comes up.

Also, my partner and I discovered the pay rate is wrong when we did the math and lower than it should be. Which sucks for the candidate and our company…

We tried so many times to bring our manager to this and talk to the client but no one will listen. The boss wants us just to do what the client wants. I feel terrible lying to people that we have jobs open. I feel like I can’t sleep at night. Messing with people’s lives here.
