It’s not even casual internet surfing anymore. While looking for a job several months ago, I had to create a new account on every. Single. Fucking. Application.
I have several different Workday accounts because of that.
Literally 43 workday accounts. And it couldn’t reuse the info I put in 42 times before
Agonizing. I’m starting to understand why some people choose to buck the system and live off the land in the wilderness.
I never used Workday - why do you need different accounts? Are there per-account limits you need to bypass? Or do multiple companies use their software and you need a different account for each company?
The latter. Every time I have to job hunt, it’s mentally exhausting from how frustrating it is. I have over 90 logins to various job sites and that isn’t counting the ones using Google login or the ones I just let my browser save and I never copied to my password library.
If I ever have to job hunt again I’m printing out paper resumes and hitting the pavement like it’s 1980 again.
It’s probably due to privacy laws that Workday doesn’t share your information with other clients.
and all of them will resell your data to spammers advertisers and worse
Wanna have something to chuckle?
I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.
Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.
Yup, i have one for adult sites aswell. Never got spam, never got leaked, nothing.
But the one from the free mail provider i used to login into big data websites is full of shit at this point.
Configure an individual Mail address for every site you need one for. You then know who sells or loses your address without telling you.
I do this
Do you have some tidbits to share on who is being naughty? I’m curious.
Sadly no, I haven’t received any spam on my 131 forwarding addresses. I have however, received spam on my new main account after sharing the address with my local hairdresser.
Fucking hair dressers, can’t trust em. That’s why I’m bald
Don’t forget mailing list nags that are engineered to pop up right when you are reading the third sentence of the article.
Right after the BS cookie popup.
Or I click a link to story about a cat stuck in a tree and it takes me to small, local newspaper I’ve never heard of called “The Sawfly Gazette - serving South Western Maine since 1975!”, then it immediately tells me I’ve hit my “article limit” and must subscribe for $14.95.
