Our favorite globalist progressive companies with all the right virtue signalling about diversity, move jobs to country with fewer laws everytime something gets unionized. They do it for our safety.

Yeah with the demand for unpaid overtime I get as a developer its essentially slave labor. Like ask your dentist to work 140 hours a week for a 40 hour check, see what happens lol.

The industry has gotten so abusive over time its not worth working in it anymore. The amount of discrimination is harrowing. You would think black people cannot code for the level of discrimination in the industry. I know there are black coders but if you went into a typical employer you would be hard pressed to find anyone besides male Asian or European coders.

Companies like this hire based on how much they suspect they can push the employee to produce beyond what they need to pay them.

Recent immigrants are fertile territory. They don't know the laws really and are just so happy to have a job in the new country etc. They will put up with a lot of unpaid overtime.

Personally I'm not spending any more xmas or New Year's eve in data centers fixing stuff. Been there, done that
