Unser gestriges Treffen im @cccac war ein voller Erfolg. Der #hackspace war voll und es gab so viele fantastische Gespräche.
Unabhängig davon ob wir uns bald in der #FAU wiedersehen: Sprecht über euer Gehalt mit Kolleg*innen und Freund*innen und stellt die Frage "Wenn es ein Ding gäbe, dass du auf der Arbeit ändern würdest, was wäre das?", denn da kommen meist spannende Erkenntnisse bei rum, statt wenn man fragt "Wie läuft's auf der Arbeit?".
Understanding remote work rights in California is crucial, especially for tech employees at companies like Google and Apple. It's shaped by company policies, team directives, and state laws protecting your rights. Disputes can arise over policy changes or accommodation requests, so document everything. Remember, California law offers strong protections, including anti-discrimination and reasonable accommodations for disabilities.

#STEM graduates once clamored for jobs in Big Tech, but not so readily anymore. Since Israel began its genocide in #Gaza, it has relied on AI and surveillance systems developed by once-dream-job companies like #Google #Amazon, and #Microsoft Today, many students and workers, uncomfortable with the prospect of fortifying the Israeli war machine, are engaging in a concerted effort to build alternative futures in technology.
The #colonialism project never ended—it just got better PR.

(Note: Employee revolts at #Microsoft, #Amazon and #Google in the late 2010s helped kept those Capitalists out of the military market. Google ended up relinquishing the #Maven contract in 2018, with #Palantir war profiteering in 2024. )
