Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration::Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I know someone in his 20s who makes $41 and some change per hour plus $150 per diem…
7 days on and 7 days off…
“Unskilled” coal mine work.
It’s pretty damn insulting to be honest as someone who’s been in the technology industry for over 25 years when I have to deal with companies and recruiters thinking that my labor is somehow worth less than that.
Hell, I made more than that 18 years ago (and I still do as an hourly without the per diem) but now I get dipshit recruiters emailing and calling me constantly thinking I should be willing to work for $25 an hour or even sometimes less.
It’s like I’m living in fucking crazy world.
