Most job seekers don't have the luxury of choice.
Boycotts are not pain-free. They require everyone to stick together and refuse to participate in behaviors that are not acceptable. I'd argue that most job seekers don't have the luxury to allow themselves to be diminished into irrelevance.
For the people just starting out with no experience, and those wondering whether they should get their car fixed, buy new shoes to replace their current ones that have a hole in the bottom, or eat something better than rice and beans for another week, they don't have the luxury to boycott jobs. They're focused on surviving, and that's a huge chunk of America.
Entry-level jobs have already been converted to automated Q&A sessions that take place right alongside your application on the jobs site. They have been that way for years. These new AI interviews are targeted at later career roles.
The behavior of this "community" is abhorrent. Many in the C-suite deserve a life in prison -- looking your way "healthcare industry"!
The pursuit of profit above all else, that is: basic human _greed_ is a VICE, not a VIRTUE.
Boycotts won't stop this madness.
