Serfdom
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoSerfdom doesn't pay that well. Note well: I'm not saying that this is OK, either legally or morally. I'm just saying that the parent is way overhyping the problem.
- goobynight 7y agoNaw. You're underhyping it. Creating this artificial ceiling in the low 6 figures is awful, regardless of how badly people making less than that are getting screwed. As far as I'm concerned, they're as hopeless as a bucket of crabs and we shouldn't use them as a bar or relative bar for anything. Do I-bankers look at they're comp and say "yeah that's pretty good. I'm ok getting screwed out of any more"? I think we should always be advocating for our group as hard as we can.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoAbsolutely everything you say could be true, and that still wouldn't make it serfdom, nor even close.
- skybrian 7y agoThese aren't the only choices. I think our industry is actually a little better with that, where we have some software engineers advocating for more money for the contractors.
