@peterme I've seen this in various sectors, not just tech. It's one of the various ways in which labour productivity growth stalls because it ends up being self-defeating. Less employees work longer hours, which causes productivity losses as people are more tired and turnover increases. It's more virtue signalling than anything else.

@pluralistic is there any data for #wagetheft outside the US that anyone is aware of?

Thanks for the tips @ESugarloaf and @msimoens

@josh @arcade @jeremiah @JRChilton @paurea The Dispossessed blew my mind when I first read it as a teenager. Along with Earthsea, it made me a lifelong Ursula K. Le Guin fan and helped form my political views. Makes sense that I would also become a @pluralistic fan later on 😅

@McBlondeLand hello to you too! 👋
