I've got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn't? Any tools that you're just waiting for a chance to replace but can't yet?

I have not yet but may soon be required to give biometrics (fingerprints, possibly eye scan) to my employer.

I haven't decided yet what to do if it comes to that... know I'm giving random tech conglomerates far more in exchange for far less, but this one feels more invasive and personal.

But I'll probably do it if needed. I like this job, and I trust them more than I trust these tech giants I sell my data to, just for a glimpse of the online hellscape.

Why? What’s going on? Isn’t it a breach of some sort?

[–] kindnesskills@literature.cafe 3 points 1 month ago

It's a security clearance thing. But there's also talks of instead easing up on the requirements for different levels of security clearance, so we'll see where it ends up.

Best job I've ever had, both regarding benefits+salary, assignments, and work culture/colleagues/management.

I get it. Had to make a choice like that too once. Not my fingerprints or anything that invasive but having to compromise for a job. Whatever you do I hope it brings you success
