Funny how the second coming of faceless AI doesn’t need to video call when it’s being tasked with making unicorns and rainbows that everyone loves to praise and take credit for, and then ask for a quick fix to get it over the line when it fails at a task.
I’m 99% certain I lost a job I was really interested in, because my internet was experiencing service degradation during the video interview and it was affecting my stream.
This also happened to me. I had an interview on the phone in which I got amazing feedback. I then had my second interview online and had trouble with my audio. After that, they ghosted me.
I understand that, in many ways, ghosting is normal. Still, that first call’s feedback made me think they wanted to hire me.

Yeah, I believe it. People negatively judge on anything.
We shouldn’t even need video. It’s just a waste of bandwidth unless you are showing some slides for a presentation or something.
I like seeing people. It’s already unsocial working from home.
I don’t mind seeing people. I don’t want to be seen.
Have you ever seen a slide that was not a waste of time?
Agreed, glad my company doesn’t require that. No one wants that.

Say you’re autistic without saying you’re autistic.

I can believe it. I imagine a potential employer would be concerned about that especially if it’s a work from home thing.
It’s too bad really, because it’s entirely out of your control for the most part.
I do all my work from home (free lance), but I always use wired Ethernet to minimize potential problems.
Ethernet won’t help you, when your home connection is POS… Speaking from my own experience.

Well yeah they’re haunted.
