Don't forget to give your boss a 5-star rating at the end of your gig, nobody is going to employ you otherwise.

That's the issue. How do you solve merit without an Orwellian system monitoring everything everyone does? Without some kind of capability for privacy-respecting decentralized systems - solving for Merit is a function of dystopia.

Why solve for merit ? why optimize everything ?
What's wrong in a simple world where most people can be just mediocre and hold a stable job ?
Unless we're talking about "high risk" jobs, why make life harder than it already is ? for what ?
Why not aim there, collectively ?
Now we'll have to have a 5-star rating to get a temp job, one that probably won't pay well.
Ah an it will be all be tied to your identity. Forever. That's awesome !
And who will rate us ? Our temporary boss. Hooray for the power dynamics !
Great!
