programmer-job-blacklist

programmer-job-blacklist is a collaborative open-source repository that documents problematic hiring practices, exploitative labor conditions, and controversial employment experiences within the technology industry. The project was created as a public transparency initiative where developers can share information about companies accused of excessive overtime, unethical management, misleading recruitment practices, or harmful workplace culture. It primarily focuses on the Chinese technology sector but has gained broader recognition as an example of community-driven labor awareness in software engineering. The repository organizes reports, discussions, and references in a structured format that allows developers to research employers before accepting positions. Its existence reflects growing concern within the software industry regarding burnout, labor exploitation, and workplace accountability.
