People are scared. Most employers will prefer hiring friends and relatives and all their families rather than skilled workers. You do what you can, I know many people living paycheck to paycheck. They just can’t afford to revolt.

Thankfully there are unions that help workers organize, but in many sectors you’re discouraged from joining one.

Retaliatory tactics are all too common. Your life is made miserable within the workplace (if you don’t get fired) and then good luck being hired somewhere else in the same field.

You can be fired after a year without a severance package for no reason.

Where I work now we’re short staffed on pretty much every department and yet we won’t offer higher wages to attract new hires, cause then you’d need to raise the wages of the tenured people as well.

Instead, you squeeze the everloving shit out of whoever stays for the same money as the last 5 years while inflation is still soaring.

Greek here.

I and many thousands of people like me have already been working 6 or 7 day weeks for years now. I’ve worked 50 hours this past week (no paid overtime either) and I’ve done 70 hour weeks this year, but not regularly, so I’m actually one of the lucky ones.

The only difference this makes is legalizing it so boss can’t be sued or fined.

I’ve been in IT for a few years and I’ve changed companies a few times. I just checked my login creds for various systems of 3 previous employers and like half of them still work. Unfortunately it’s a lot more common than any IT department would like to admit

Hello my friends, my name is Amram Eimnan and today we learn how to defeat missiles

Am sysadmin, can confirm I don’t wanna learn it.

I agree with the Israeli spokesperson. “Targeting uninvolved parties” is their thing, Ireland can’t just storm in by force and appropriate it, that’s also Israel’s thing

I think that was the moto even from the BackTrack days

Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.

Alright, fair enough.
