Soon as I got the email, I read through it, clicked the link, and disabled that. And then later shared direct quotes around (through WhatsApp Status. Unfortunate, but it’s the only means I have to quickly get to as many people — without directly spamming messages around)
As if they weren’t already doing it without your permission.
I fucking hate this. Fuck social network companies.
Train for what? What data is there except for resumes and advertisements?
They’ll probably sell a hirability model based on your resume and similar ones with jobs
This, and I predict it will
-
(Work and) sell exceptionally well, since the data is definitely more curated than on other platforms
-
Fuck up the job market even further somehow
The fuck up the job market is totally going to be for new grads and people who had to take medical leave or care for a loved one or even took parental leave.
But I look forward to whatever other fucked up issues it creates. I’m sure it will be awful.
