They're called juniors, and haven't yet been broken by the system.
> If you’re a teacher, bus driver, emergency responder, nurse, transit operator, power/gas workers etc. you’re most likely not getting paid much or nearly enough, but would never dream of bringing this “idgaf, pay me” attitude to work.
Have you seen the state of these professions? That's the prevailing attitude at the moment, and the reasons are obvious.
- haswell 2y ago> They're called juniors I’m 20 years into this, not a junior. And the people I’m talking about certainly aren’t juniors. I’m not questioning the existence of people who stop caring. I’m saying that this is a choice, and one that many people can’t bring themselves to make. > That's the prevailing attitude at the moment Attitudes and actions are two different things. If people in many of those professions were acting like many do in the tech world, people die as a result. I’d be careful not to project your own view of this matter on the broader workforce.
