“Job interviews are dehumanizing rituals where you perform worthiness for strangers who will exploit your labor”
Agree
- Power dynamics are inherently degrading
- Begging for opportunity to be used
- Fake performance of enthusiasm required
- Your humanity reduced to resume metrics
Disagree
- Mutual evaluation is fair and necessary
- Companies take risks on employees too
- Professional vetting protects everyone involved
- You're choosing them as much as they're choosing you
