Any employee willing to be laid by token or crypto gets what they deserve. The only reason these companies can get away with this crap is because the proletariat are allowing it.

You need a job, and you want it to be exciting; that’s understandable. Maybe you’re trying to break into the industry. Yes, it’s tough. People will tell you that you’ve got to pay your dues or some other “toe the line” bullshit.

People need to realize that companies are not friends, they are a means to an end. And you are their means to an end. They will use you, just like you will use them. If they want you to work pong hours for as little pay as they can get away with, walk away. There are other jobs out there. They may not be glamorous, but they are out there.
