I really think that CVs (i.e. chronological listings of your career steps) should not be required for hiring. It is undignifying that we have to lay bare where life has taken us, just so that we can get a job. Instead, people should be allo

Depends entirely on how the law itself will be phrased. Maybe there is an exception to services below a certain size. But I don't expect the politicians behind this initiative to have matrix on the radar or even understand decentralize
