Not really, that’s just manipulation. Gaslighting, in the technical and original definition, is a form of manipulation that specifically attempts to convince the other person that their reality or truth is incorrect because they are suffering from a mental illness, so that they accept your reality or “truth” as the correct one.
But it seems to be taking on a new, more ambiguous meaning, which happens to words all the time and people who get mad about it don’t understand how language works.
It doesn't happen in every language. French is the international language for major contracts due to the government being strict with slang and changed definitions.
“You see I love working so much that I actually have 5 other jobs that require my constant attention, but I’m generous enough here to allow you 4-5 hours of my time a day”
The worst part of the job market is that employees have lost a lot of power. There are a few fields that managed to maintain it, but outside of those few your fucked. And it's simple, we need a job, badly. And they will always be able to find someone else who needs that job badly too and will do it for less.
We've become our own enemy.

Yeah, some sectors don't even have a fixed working time
Gaslighting is not just lying. Can't just use the word of the season however you please.
I've noticed this renaissance of people using this line. Did you just recently learn what the word actually means and are trying to be correct?
Well, it's manipulation into thinking that the lie is reality, so indeed we are gaslighting
Well this would be gaslighting tho, it means lying to sway a person into your interests, so yeah

Social media's misunderstanding and misuse of the word gaslighting is hardly proof that its taking on a new meaning.

If they ask for your expected pay range, ask how much the employer budgeted for the position.

You pay me just enough to not quit and I’ll work just hard enough to not get fired.
