Remote work for me, but not for thee!

Google angers employees with 'hypocritical' remote work policies
Employees were already stirred up over opaque policies on remote work.

Then a senior executive announced he's moving to New Zealand in what some workers consider special treatment.

@molaram employees need to recognize a very important fact.

Without the workers, a company will collapse.

This fact is especially dangerous to companies in IT. Often the jobs are so specialized that it would be impossible to hire more than 30% of the workforce overnight.

Not only that, if they were able to pull off getting the warm bodies in those slots -- there's the culture, group knowledge, business processes.

If a company lost 30% of their workforce the impacts would set them back not years, but decades.

Google being an ivory and marble hellhole? Still? Surprise!

@sariel IT is the best testing grounds for worker's rights and self organization, because workers are valuable and because any other means of production are within or near consumer price range.

@molaram IT salaries are high enough to make people feel like they have something to lose.
