I am not disputing the moments before and during. There is no doubt the events going on were a powder keg of problems waiting to tip off. However my comment was about how that actual scene can be viewed differently by people, and is exactly

The supply is much more limited for remote jobs so the pool is even smaller and the entry is higher. Zapier goes over their hiring process ( https://zapier.com/jobs/our-commitment-to-applicants/ ). It lines up with

Yeah, it's those that "pivoted to video". Mic was impacted, Univision struggled with Fusion, BuzzFeed walked it back, Verzion is obviously bailing on it, etc.

Even better are the ones that are keypads + smartlock. We'll probably be swapping over to one of the Yale locks which has a keypad & uses August's tech for the smart part.
