Tech workers have desperately needed a union for years now.

And now look at how many well paid tech workers are being laid off or fired and now tech companies are re-hiring the same tech workers at a lower wage or as a contract worker with no benefits.

"Tech salaries dropped 3 percent year over year, from $161,000 to $156,000. Adjusted for inflation, salaries decreased 9 percent, from $141,000 in 2022 to $129,000 in mid-202"

In 6 months they've already managed to depress tech wages by almost 10%

It's sad to think that being a W2 employee is becoming a real perk. A privledge that only the best connected techies seem to get.

But don't worry! Your wages may be going down, and your co-workers may have been laid off, but your "opportunity" is going up right now! You can work twice as hard!

That's it. Just more work. Same/less pay.

We won't commit to anything if you work hard though, just vaguely hint that it's an opportunity.

But isn't that after wages went up by like 50%? Sure in the past 6 months we're down but if you look at the past 5 years we're up a ton
