HN discussion about a similar company exposing private information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43349115

The apps are ESHYFT, ShiftKey, ShiftMed, and CareRev. CareRev is a YC company (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/carerev), so maybe the founders are around to explain the technical details of their desperation algorithm or why they allow employers to cancel shifts with 2 hours of notice.

Better profits and more efficient rent extraction is the why. Stick to the how and you might get an answer?
