However I am an (ostensibly) privileged software engineer. This article says that this will be used for the holiday rush. Contract/warehouse workers are often the most oppressed working class. It’s sad that this can be forced upon them.
I like the idea of being able to do interview calls at 8pm, but I'm scared they will just spam these to everyone and I'll spend countless evenings "interviewing" for jobs I'll never get instead of meeting with people I care about.
If you're profit seeking company with no regard to the negative social externalities of your actions, why not just send out AI interviews to everyone the way some tech companies send leetcodes to everyone today? They could even build some feature to make the AI interviewer try to extract as much market information and good ideas out of you as possible and feed that data into their internal AI product ideation engine. You have to pay ball or else you don't get the job. (Btw if you pass the interview you have a 0.1% chance of being hired)
