>“I never signed up for this website to put this kind of information out for anybody to obtain who gets the code to obtain it.” It is unclear what code Flint is referring to.
Seriously, it would take two minutes to log onto the site and see what verification process they have in place. The dogged insistence on adding absolutely no value is frustrating
This is the latest in low-effort content milling. Whenever I open a new Chrome tab on my phone, I see an endless stream of these paraphrased Reddit and TikTok posts. Right now I see Cheezburger, YourTango, The Daily Dot, Pleated Jeans, Upworthy, and Newsweek. Most point to outrage porn like r/AITA and r/pettyrevenge.
It's really quite funny to read some 22-year-old intern's attempt to take a Reddit post about someone feeling slighted at a family dinner and dress it up as serious breaking news. I guess this is how one pays one's dues as a young journalist these days.
So it seems unlikely that this is the only method the anonymous person whose story this is based on actually used that data.
Also, if someone has three jobs and violates one of the jobs employment agreement, then it makes sense that they are fired. That’s unethical. My employer doesn’t allow second jobs without ethics reviews and I’d be fired (or at least really chewed out) if I had a second job.
I had to submit paystubs and a 2021 W2 from my employer because it was hopelessly wrong, claiming my income was >60% lower than actual.
I locked it right then.
Or maybe they actually did call those other companies and got verification from them.
If you are in Switzerland you can use the following letter samples [1] to request a copy of your data and also delete any data they may have of you.
These letters have consequences if the companies don't comply.
