Mind you, to apply for a minimum wage job at my company the applicant has to fill out several forms and then submit the exact same information as a PDF file along with a cover letter that will be run through an LLM detector (data mismatches or possibly LLM-written cover letters will be an instant fail) followed by an LLM that determines whether the applicant is worth my HR department's time. If they pass they will have three video interviews, the first of which will be with my company's AI avatar.

If they pass those and do well on a little take-home test that just happens to be identical to the work they'll be doing for me, they're invited to an unpaid six-month full-time WorkPrenticeship™ where they get the opportunity to prove they can consistently perform well beyond the limits of their job description. They don't even have to pay for that privilege, which goes to show that my company likes to go that extra mile for our employees. If they do that and we don't happen to have a silent hiring freeze they get to sign the hiring contract, an industry-wide non-compete agreement, and a contract stating that they will never join a union and will actively report any instance of union building to management.

From then on they get to enjoy all the perks my company has to offer to non-executive workers such as coming to a beautiful office building every day, a salary competitive with other entry-level jobs like the hospitality industry, up to five (5) vacation or sick days, and the chance to work with exciting new artificial intelligence tools that may soon render entry-level drudge work obsolete.
