No it isn't. Ew. If an employer asked to fingerprint me I'd tell them where to stick their scanner.

You know what is "completely standard" now? Governments and corporations leaking terabytes of private information, with barely a shred of accountability.

We need to be pulling this in the exact opposite direction, not normalizing it; and not adding retina scans to the list of insecure biometric data.

Sam Altman needs a swift reality slap.

There are some situations where this may be ok. Working for the police themselves as an example. ;)

They don't need to, because your employer probably asked you for a form of biometric ID.

I've never once had an employer ask me for such a thing.

Weird. Every job I've had has asked for my passport (UK) or work permit (US).

I'm in the US, and every employer has asked me for proof that I can legally work in the US. But none of the proof I provide involves biometric data (unless you count the photo on my driver's license as "biometric data"). But I'm a citizen, and I could easily imagine that the requirements might be more strict for noncitizens.
