Dumb article but note the phrasing from the HR person:
“In certain countries there was huge lockdown, and so we would have our own employees choose to sleep in the data center because they were worried they’d get stuck at a roadblock, trying to go home.”
It wasn't an IT job in that way, it was more like "you're the kid that knows what a computer is, we pay you just above minimum wage to watch the servers at night. If anything goes seriously wrong phone the actual sysadmin" kind of thing. I guess job title would be entry level server technician/support?
