Start your own company if you think you can do better / be fairer / be a better employer etc etc
workers fighting their employers never ends how you think it will. They won’t raise conditions, they’ll just get rid of the jobs, outsource, use AI, etc etc etc
Has it ever occurred to you that improving working conditions doesn’t necessarily always result in “making the world better”? And that measurement is completely arbitrary. eg The west has very little manufacturing left because we chose to raise working conditions instead of remaining competitive - thus all the manufacturing jobs disappeared anyways. Is that “making the world better”?
It’s simple supply and demand - a large number of programmers want to work on games. Therefore the pay and conditions aren’t great compared to other less ‘cool+trendy’ options.
- user-the-name 5y ago> workers fighting their employers never ends how you think it will. Absolute factually untrue. Learn from history.
- JimmyAxod 5y agohehe I have. You should try it. I suggest watching something like ‘Newsies’. It’s a great musical, and all the kids selling newspapers today have fantastic working conditions /s
