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.
“some tech workers on blind”. Even worse
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
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.
