And no engineering job I’ve ever applied for has had me fill out an “application”. That’s not a thing. And if some place weirdly has it, then send your resume somewhere else.
You mean you've never filled out one of those web forms asking like how many years of experience you have with X technology, what is your expected salary, when is your earliest start date, etc? When job hunting earlier this year I've found those to be incredibly common.
Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that's particularly helpful as well.
I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It's often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It's like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.
I love how ShittyMorph will live on forever no matter what, even if it's an entirely different website lol
They used to be "Don't be evil" now they're the most evil company, absolutely crazy.
I'm so glad I work for a remote company that states in my employment contract my job is a remote job (or at least, it doesn't specify in-office requirements), so if they ever try to force me to relocate, it would be considered a constructive dismissal and then I get to collect unemployment benefits until I find a new job. That probably won't happen though cause we have people working all across the country. Though, this isn't in USA so maybe things are different there.
Of course, always get your contracts reviewed by an employment lawyer.
It's a constructive dismissal where I live, unless your employment contract specifies you must work in the office. If it doesn't and you applied for and accepted a remote job, then you're pretty much golden.
I'm not in USA though FWIW.
I wouldn't on a laptop at all FWIW, need my 24" 1080p monitor for that.
Sometimes changing just the user agent isn't enough FWIW.
Even if Lemmy does fight it and doesn't accept the fingerprinting bullshit, how many other websites are going to do that? We're just a link aggregator at the end of the day, I feel like all of the most important parts of the Internet are no longer going to be open.
My old work laptop had an integrated cover, my new work laptop just doesn't lol
Downsizing can look scary to investors though, like the company isn't doing well.
