There genuinely needs to be new workers rights laws:<br>1) no fake job postings<br>2) max 3 interview steps<br>3) no free labor ("take-home projects")<br>4) new hiring transparency laws

NBCUniversal asked me to drive from another state to Seattle as the final step in the interview process to meet the team. "The team" turned out to be one person working remotely. Then they waited a month before sending me a rejection. The entire interview process took FOUR MONTHS of my time. I have a PhD and 20+ years of experience, and I've been jobless for almost a year.

There is a serious lack of ethics going on right now, especially in the tech industry. It’s highly disturbing.

I'm actually giving my resignation today. After coding professionally for 20 years, I'm just done. The mental abuse and being taken advantage of all of the time has had a huge tole on my health.
