@kaisla@eliitin-some.fi now we just get to update it by scribbling Amnesty I. itself into the margins for kissing their boots ​:gura_tired:​

@kaisla@eliitin-some.fi clearly there are people there that put effort into that report. Also they are not being listened to if the leadership structure of Amensty goes behind their back to undermine their findings? Am not mad with you or something or saying your point of view is all wrong but having a hard time to bridge it to my own pessimistic one. I don't mean to devalue the report itself or past work instead my issue is: Idk how you expect to empower these people that worked on that report without criticizing the leadership they find themselves under. The archived copy of the report is valuable but also there should be consequences for how this was resolved or it just results in them elbowing out or otherwise gagging anyone that doesn't toe a line set out by the wealthy :/ It also sets a scary precedent for other groups than just Amensty, this can have a self censoring effect on reports by other groups that haven't even been made public yet. (Regardless of actual leadership decisions there.) Anyway sorry for being such a doomer I suppose. I'm not saying Amnesty should be ignored completely but I also feel like it should be called into question instead of being buried quickly. But to be honest I don't know what is more harmful for the people of the world.

@nyx@fedi.wasp.best its been a thing since forever to me. I think someone involved with launching Node.js posted a job listing they nearly wouldn't have qualified for. Only people that worked with Node before public release would have had that? I think besides general negging of the interviewee, trying to put you in an uncomfortable place... It is also an effective trick to dismiss people without negative consequences. If they are actually refusing candidates follow up interviews (because they can get pregnant or violate some other protection) they can just lie it was because they didn't meet min. qualifications. Also some companies have a rule positions have to be advertised on the market even though they already have some (nepo baby) lined up. By making the listing unsatisfiable they get to claim no suitable candidates were found and go with their own pick. At some point it might also have been a trick to ding external recruiters with, withholding a bonus or part of a commission because the candidate did not meet al requirements even though they hired them 🤡
