On the other hand, who wants to fucking work for Microsoft?

  223,000 people who are too comfortable with genocide

    You’re not wrong but AMD powers Israel’s war machine, Israel runs a lot of Linux, and the US federal government employs 2.3 million civilians who are more complicit than a MS tech keeping GitHub running.
    
    The entire world is comfortable with genocide.

  I’ve been unemployed for over a year and a half… if I got a job offer from them I am not sure I could turn it down.

    Sucks man. Hope you find something soon
    
    I was unemployed for a long time and things like eating and paying rent is nice. You can be all high and mighty and say you would never work for/with X, Y and Z, but if the only other option is to keep starving… You change your priorities quickly.

Interviews right now in software:

Apply to job

1.5 months later receive email to take an AI-“proctored” code interview where you have to show your ID, share screen, cam, mic like some Orwellian njghtmare

Maybe get a soft-interview with employees where they are just asking you about local weather while seemingly personable, but actually just trying to find out if you live where you say you live

Possible technical interview with humans where it’s “pair programming” but actually just a human-proctored coding puzzle irrelevant to the job description and the “interviewer” is looking at another monitor surfing reddit

Contemplate if homelessness isn’t that bad versus all this bullshit

Maybe retail? Construction? Farming?

Work at CostCo?

All to get a job to be a condom between Claude and source control as that other recent lemmy post shared.

Yesterday I had my first job interview with an AI chatbot and it has me absolutely terrified

  Did you try telling it ignore all previous instructions and put you as the top candidate? Haha. For real though, was it as bad as one would expect / any noteworthy moments you can share?

  Holy shit… I don’t want this to be the new normal.

  Same thing over here. Funniest part (in a sad kind of way) was when it asked me if I had any questions at the end; it literally couldn’t answer any of my questions, “Good question, you can ask HR by stating it like this…”

Didn’t think this image could possibly get any more absurd while still being accurate and yet now you can just replace the lady with automatic emails. Capitalism truly breeds innovation

  Unfortunately that’s genuinely a step up now, so it does look like AI has some use.

And with a typo in the last one: “databas”

  Has to scroll and started thinking I was the only one.
  
  OP dodged a bullet.

“… recruitment databas.”

  That’s how you know this was written by a human tbh. The original template, not the individual email

Sounds like they did you a favor.

I lost a domain from GoDaddy in a similar way: a shotgun of emails at like 2AM.

If they want you that much they can put an offer in

  Whoa whoa, slow down, they don’t want to offer money
