This concept sounds like tyranny. Would it really stop at credentialism? How would this work for the self-taught? If I quit a shitty employer after 2 weeks, is that going to follow me for the rest of my life?

It kind of baffles me how people act like interviews are a one-way street. I get that applying and interviewing can be a slog, but you should be interviewing your employer as much as they are interviewing you. There have been several instances where I turned down jobs because the employer failed the interview process in my eyes. I shudder to imagine how my life would have turned out if I ended up working at that one place where they wanted me to speed-code under 1 minute per challenge while the interviewer stood behind me with a stopwatch.
