This whole story about the crazy TikTok HR lady has really got me thinking. She has opened a big can of worms, by saying the quiet part out loud so confidently. She has obviously opened herself and her employers up to MASSIVE liability, and exposed HR for what it is - gossiping angry liberal women - but there may be bigger story here.
Facebook hidden tracking. Q has mentioned how FB tracks people, even when they have no FB account, and that we would be amazed by how much info they have and where it is stored... My bet is that it is stored with HR.
I am thinking back to job interviews I had with a couple VERY large companies. The first interviews went amazingly, the one with the people in my actual field. I thought it was a slam dunk, got the vibe that the job was mine. Then they asked if HR could check my social media. I responded that I didn't have a social media presence and just used email and text to communicate with my friends and family. I thought it was weird that BOTH times they said "Well, we still need to check, is it ok"?
If angry SJW women read my posts here I have a feeling I know why I didn't get the jobs.
We may have stumbled onto something BIG here...
FB did start as DARPA LifeLog.
I've had a similar experience, especially at the tail end of last year.
About four or five roles I was a proper shoe-in - totally qualified, not the most expensive - no other comparable candidates to my knowledge. Still waiting for a call back from most of them as to how it went.
