#techWorkers
Techworkers? fine, weird but fairly conventional. Techbosses? Techpundits? straight to the sea

generally when it comes to techworkers, “It is difficult to get [someone] to understand something when [their] salary depends on [them] not understanding it.” ―Upton Sinclair

Just finished reviewing the final proofs of my forthcoming book on #techworkers. It sheds light on the high-paid professionals in the tech industry. The book is coming out open-access with @mitpress.bsky.social this December. Very excited about it!

another thing about the SV direct commissions, 4 CTOs feels like the dumbest, least impactful choice, not only does the army already have a lot of in house knowledge but the actual people you'd need to mobilize are like line techworkers not a fucking C-Suite meeting

As the great matron saint of computing, Emmanuel "Cereal Killer" Goldstein once said:

1998 was a typo.

if you're so disgusted by techworkers that you can't even sit down to analyze their class status, how can you come to an accurate conclusion?

UNI Europa urges EU to impose ‘Amazon Tax’ in response to US trade war. Amazon continues to benefit from a double unfair economic advantage in the EU: disproportionately low tax rates and lucrative public contracts funded by European taxpayers. #TechWorkers #JoinAUnion #Amazon
“All options remain on the table.”

The @ec.europa.eu responded to our letter calling for an “Amazon tax”, a comprehensive digital services tax on US digital companies. #MakeAmazonPay
