    The flip side is that workers are getting treated worse.

    I hear about people having to go through three or four rounds of job interviews, and having their social media scoured. There are fewer and fewer non-corporate jobs, and forget about a boss who pays you off the books.

    Not even going to start on the fact that money is pretty worthless

      They’re trying to preemptively hire people who don’t give them a hard time when they treat them like peasants. When the boss says it’s getting harder to hire means the rest of us are harder to fire. Keep up the pressure!

        Anecdote

        Boss says he called twenty people in for an interview at 7 am. Hired the one person who stayed until 9 pm because they showed persistence.

        People in comments said he hire the person who was most desperate.

      and having their social media scoured

      Any advice on how to google myself?
      I use separate emails but sometimes I mix my username and real name so theres no 100% separation.
      I couldnt find anything besides the obvious but I am interested but a bit of sleuthing can do if you are determinded enough.
      The things I have tried in various combinations: Paranthesis around words/names, combinations of search terms which shouldnt be known (e.g. nickname + city or general living area) and some platforms I have used or activities/events I would probably be mentioned in by name.

        I’d try an actual tech site. I’m still using a tower with a CD drive and banging rocks together to send messages.
