I came across a remote job opening on Linkedin that's offering a 60k salary which is good especially for people outside the US, and their requirement seemed reasonable.
Sounds too good to be true? what's the catch you say?
Well apparently, they want you to take a series of bullshit cognitive and skill assessments (in my case they say it should take about 2 HOURS) that you must pass, then if you get an offer, they want you to install a software that basically spies on you.
It TAKES WEBCAM PICTURES of you, takes screenshots, records your keystrokes and mouse clicks ( according to them it “tracks the number of mouse clicks and keyboard presses. Note: this does not track what was typed”).
This is how they're preying on desperate workers from low income countries.
Honestly I didn't even think they would stoop this low. Absolutely insane and deranged. But then again I shouldn't be surprised. Goddamn lizards.
The company is called Crossover.
This is them trying to justify this : https://www.crossover.com/perspective/productivity-monitoring
there's even this cringe video explaining it : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/crossover-_how-to-supercharge-your-productivity-activity-6903004177203544064-PoTU
