As a tech worker, I say good for them.
As a fellow tech worker, I agree. Probably most tech workers would agree, but since that's boring, this article focuses on the opinion of just "some tech workers on social media". So dumb.
Like 3 ancient jaded guys that are working on network infrastructure for a small hospital in Montana posted on Xwitter that they're upset. 10000 bots reposted it...now it's newsworthy.
I'm going with Xitter pronounced sh-ITT-er That makes tweets Xits pronounced sh-IT-s
“some tech workers on blind”. Even worse
As a tech worker in Europe, the concept of "deserving" or "not deserving" a specific number has always been a total joke. Your salary is like 80% determined by location alone.
Any notion of "merit" (whatever that even means, there isn't even a good way of measuring it in many industries) has always been only very loosely correlated with compensation.
So if you can get it, go get it.
