i wouldn't worry about it - the video AI to do stuff like measure interview performance or monitor employees are basically scam startup pitches that get media coverage for a bit then disappear after people realize they don't work

this doesn't mean companies won't use them though. Look at all the "AI"-powered recruitment poo poo that is being used already.

truly i never considered the bad side of remote employment taking off, but of course they'd metric-ify video chat and meetings and probably eventually the entire work day so you have to manage your "engagement scores" and "enthusiasm factors"

I'd love a pointless paper pusher job, you're free to work poo poo hours at low pay at any homeless shelter if you want a meaningful job. Enjoy the nightly suicide threats and screaming matches over stolen radios while you yourself are still eligible for food stamps

i talked to a place for an SRE job a few years back and they wanted me to do the first technical interview remote, on camera, and they were going to give me a purposely unsolvable challenge and use some 'really neat software' to do an emotional analysis of my face as i worked it to see how i dealt with stressful situations

i not so politely declined

not everyone that works from home is some "computer toucher" making 6 figures, there's an enormous industry of remote tech support and customer service now, they're often low wage, no benefits, lovely hours and enormous workloads micromanaged to the nth by lovely alogrithms

you often get to provide your own equipment, internet, electricity and other poo poo as well too!

How often do you have to clean up someone else's human poo poo, blood, and vomit?

Never? Gosh.

I'm literally getting my A+ because a low paid help desk job would be an upgrade for me.

fake metrics are still an effective tool to keep people in line because the chances are 90% of people will fail the metrics and managers can use it to browbeat everyone but their favorites instead of saying "whoa it must be wrong"

someone has to do the poo poo and vomit job, and frankly I'm more comfortable with someone who hates it than someone who would enjoy it. That would be really weird

Lots of them are essentially tour guide jobs, except you don't have to physically wrangle a group of fat sweaty foreigners who can't climb stairs. If you were already working as a tour guide that might be a step up.
