It’s called Dead Sea effect and can be a killing factor to an IT company.
Sometimes though it can be good overall if company has too many seniors I guess.

That was an interesting read. Thank you. You might make it a post of its own.
Feel free to post it on your own ;)
Holy shit that’s good, as is the earlier article about hiring like a sports team.
I used to call this The Incompetence Filter. I like this analogy better.
Amazon is famous for that free labor (check interview review at glassdoor)
I had several interviews with them a few years ago and I was basically troubleshooting an issue, they were asking for my expertise on how to solve if I enjoyed X and which kind of tests I would run for validation and how to design to prevent reoccurrence and then they basically ghosted me
File a complaint with the labor board. They can investigate and if they find out they used your solution you can get paid and they can get a fine on top of that.
That was about 7 years ago. The Echo Auto had just launched and I’m guessing I was debugging that. Also I lived in Mexico at the time, I’m not sure if those laws would protect me as well
