also the government regulates all job postings to not be (as) malignant and evil. you just upload your resume and go thru the available options and you pick one and then you go work there and if you fuck around they can kick your ass or something (but social etiquette dictates you should behave in good faith (because they all know how much the old way sucked))
Sounds like eastern Europe in the 2nd half of 20th century. The social etiquette wasn’t enough to make workers do their jobs, and the right to work meant firing them wasn’t a punishment.
