It is funny how tech employees complain about this when it hits them personally, while employers have been discriminating for eternity.
That clause at the bottom of a job page: "no discrimination based on citizenship, origin, etc..."? Just corporate/legal mumbo jumbo.
This is how it feels for the non-elite, non-American. In a weird way, the pandemic is leveling the playing field. Democratize opportunities, increase competition, decrease wages- plain supply and demand.
- ethanbond 6y agoThe pandemic is not at all leveling the playing field except maybe between the elite of one country and the elite of another. The non-elites everywhere are getting hosed.
- mgh2 6y agoI agree, maybe I meant non-US tech jobs.
- jimbokun 6y ago> It is funny how tech employees complain about this when it hits them personally That's a good point, because no other groups of people only complain about issues when they start to affect them personally.
- ethanbond 6y agoTech workers do make a unique show about caring, though. Think about all the social good branding surrounding massive advertising panopticons.
