Government sanctioned harassment of software engineers
The entire purpose is to trigger PTSD in a way that prevents them from being able to think straight or causes paranoid schizophrenia. I'm not asking you to believe a single thing I'm saying, look at anyone who has worked in software engineering in the past twenty years and track down where they are now. You're going to find thousands of people who are dragged along on job searches when there were plenty of available jobs just so they could be forced out of the job market.
Once again, this is implicitly government sanctioned at every single level of the government, they all know it is happening and they actively encourage this kind of behavior.
