Did you check with the end user as to how well its actually working? My prior company is doing this and their platform has gone to latency/bug hell.

have you met some of the upper management at companies?

nevermind that. you know companies like Palantir and Flock exist, each with hundreds or thousands of employees?

There's plenty of sociopathy and apathy to go around.

Getting the sense Meta's internal slogan is literally: "Be Evil."

Exact same experience.

Amazons interviews were so formulaic and it’s interviewers so robotic it was almost sickening.

This situation sounds very similar to mine.

I'm also like: why would you give the execs more productivity for no additional pay? The puritanical love of work and individualistic competitiveness in the US is so counterproductive to any sort of gains in livelihood for the average person.

risking security on my smart tv... security of my usage data... that could be viewed and abused by a third-party...

Wait a sec, the tv companies already do this.

Guess I don't care.

The terms for this seem kind of not great tbh, unless you have been there for like multiple decades, especially in this job market.

I probably wouldn't take this and instead devote more of my time to practicing for and collecting interviews during the equivalent time period with the hopes of keeping my job at the end.

I struggle with this mentality as well. Just seems very unfair. I guess life isn't fair though, and maybe I should be more grateful for having this as a problem at all.

Why are you upset its this way elsewhere? Those kind of working conditions are much more favorable don't you think? Why would you want to work 60 hour weeks?

Just study and get another job.
