That happens constantly with hourly workers, slightly less so with salaried.

This is some libertarian "be your own boss" bullshit
The salary is the least amount of money they think they can pay you to work, but the problem is not the work itself. It's the "money required to survive" aspect.
I really expected it to say colonial for some reason
I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It's not entirely off base about Russia.
To be fair to my naive past self: it was the first mass layoff at Google, ever.
Based on my friends still there: the vibes are decidedly less trusting all around.
Having worked at Google there wasn't any anti-unuon propaganda or anything: it was just genuinely the best work environment I'd ever experienced... Right up until they laid me off.
So while I was there the thought of joining a union would have been "meh - what can they realistically get me?" and after the layoff was "oh yeah right they could've gotten me protection"
Doesn't blind require you to validate via corporate email yearly or something?
Edit: cause some jackass is implying I'm a bot - I should have joined a union and a union would've protected me from the mass layoff in '23 but that doesn't change that while there I never thought about needing a union because it was such a nice place otherwise.
As someone who previously worked at Google - they didn't have any antiunion propaganda.
They just, like, paid well, had top tier benefits, great perks, and had a good work life balance.
The battery life is definitely worse because of it but it doesn't bother me much
No, not yet. It's rarely visible but it's there.
The moral absolutist, black and white view of the world: as bad as any religious nut.

☝️🤓 actually people survived before money ! Fool !
Lemme go tell my 80 year old grandma on a fixed income to go forage instead of heading to Albertsons.
Money is required for survival in any nation where you're getting a salary for your work. Dying 40 years early because your body gives out from giardia isn't surviving.
