So companies are finally telling employees: Take a pay cut or take a hike.
Now putting aside that "scarce talent" or "skilled engineer" myth most companies are just fine working with half ass CRUD app peddlers. And they are about as much in demand and as much a commodity as crude oil in 2020.
- drewcoo 6y agoI wondered how long until "remote work" became the new "talent scarcity," an excuse to pay less. Programmers like us are not commodities, though, or we'd be worth as much in one location as another, given we can work remotely. And we could be traded (like pro athletes). We are service agents more like cleaners or restaurant waitstaff.
