Asserting that “A Healthy Work-Life Balance is Every Employee’s Right,” almost 700 tech workers protested in India’s IT hub Bangalore on March 9, demanding enforcement of labor laws, regulation of work hours and codification of “Right to Disconnect”.

Fantastic to see workers sticking up for themselves on the other side of the world. An international labour movement is possible and would be a huge force for good in the world.
Good hopefully they can establish a place for themselves so that their labor can’t be taken advantage of by American companies as well and that forces American companies to actually relent on punishing American tech workers and trying to force down their wages.
Yea, this is awesome for all of us. Fuck corporate overlords.
They are the backbone of most corporate IT departments. If they all went on strike they’d get what they wanted. Corporations would never pay US salaries to fill all their positions.
ever since the massive layoffs of tech started in 2023, yea thats the sign.
Hence the enshittification of many tech implementation of major corps
It’s India. For every protestor, there’s 5 people applying for his job already.
To be honest, if you don’t want to be a slave to corps, don’t get into the tech industry. Unless someone out there has actually managed a unicorn experience and pathway and wants to share.
There are many great jobs in the tech industry, aim for smaller companies with a humane culture.
Yeah. Blame the worker for the abuse their corporate overlords hand out.
Meh. I switched out. Fucking happy now. Didn’t have it in me to ride out an abusive relationship in case it came good one day.
Yeah, just be poor and struggling. That’s a better option.
That’s their current state because they’re taken advantage.of by corps. An option is to not be that by abandoning corps. The article is quite clear if you read it.
Alright okay so just be poor and struggling until change happens
Exactly
When “so” is in the starting two words of a Lemmy comment, there’s a 90% chance you’ve attracted a real genius that’s definitely not at all building straw men and is totally capable of following along things without further explanation.
I know when I’ve been bested.
It’s the third word
Ah, “ah” is a word and not an interjecting expression. Bested again! You’re on fire.
Where are you seeing “ah”?
I have a great tech job but also yes it’s very rare.
