At first i was gonna say "oh just tell them that you don't have a webcam, and run the thing in a vm"

But then i realized that even if you passed this interview it'd just mean being accepted to a company that consists entirely of idiots who couldn't get into a company with a less demeaning interview process

this guy gets it

it's fortunate that computer toucher companies are stacked with fygm libertarians that make it impossible to unionize because computer touchers don't deserve to belong to a union

it's more complicated than that. some types of melanin are ok! indians yes, blacks or hispanics no. and vaginas, well... there's a complex calculation involving a number of variables such as age, attractiveness, and likelihood to take maternity leave

Lmbo, the CEO saw my resume on indeed and freaked. I mean, yeah, I am looking for a new job, but I have always kept it up to date because I contract on the side.
I also keep it up to date on LinkedIn as well.

also awkward if others order drinks and you feel pressured to drink as well during a loving interview

Nor is it a moral one. If your employer doesn't pay you enough, then there are absolutely no moral issues with going out there getting more figgies.

I mean it is, for me in :britain:, it's standard in employment contracts.

Morally though? Call me when it's the 60s again and it's immoral for companies to lay people off to improve share prices by a dollar again.
