I imagine some level of worker protection may be required to see success in this.
Seems like depending on what you bring to light you're at best let go into a brutal job market. Or if you piss off Boeing you just die.
This is the military. You'll just go straight to federal prison.
Tech workers need to unionize
I’ve been saying this pretty much since I started working in tech in 2005.
They paid too well for a while and gave nice lunches and free lattes while sucking 60-70 hours per week out if us.
I quit and fix cars now with hardly any retirement funds and shit health and dental care.
There are no more perks, just the soul crushing work.
