    My company hired a bunch of lower cost engineers in Chile without considering local labor laws, and were upset to discover that the Chileans refused to respond to being paged out of hours when systems were failing…and there was nothing they could do about it michael-laugh

      I think they’re trying to get out ahead of the Alphabet union.

    New waves of workers will either fall back to the groomed bigotry of “they took our jobs” as we have seen time and time again from other job sectors (like industrial/manufacturing/support/etc). Or maybe wake up to the corps/bosses/board members/capitalists being the real cause of their loss of jobs. Given that so many tech-bros tend to jump into libertarian stuff (regulations/taxes being evil by default which they also learned from the bosses that just fired them). I am guessing that sadly the former will be what they do, even if they go on to curse the mega-corps that purged them to inflate numbers. Though I hold hope that some will have a radicalizing moment and join the left.

      Literally the only Google thing in my life is my Android phone, and that’s only because of F-Droid and all the apps available there.

        I detangled myself from google when they took away free “apps for your domain” accounts. The only google crap I haven’t been able to quit are android and maps

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
