Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago- Pichai ignores the fact that part of the reason the pay is so well at Big Tech is that they’re paying you to not have ethics. His failure to understand that is gonna seriously hurt Google.
- Looking for cheaper labor… in Germany? Where worker protections are WAY stronger than in the US? Lol. (That’s not a shot at Germany. That’s commentary on American labor protections, or lack thereof).

European salaries for software developers are half of what they are in the USA. It’s a problem on both sides of the Atlantic, honestly.

Be that as it may, Europeans don’t have to live with the constant fact that they might just stop paying you today and there’s absolutely fuck-all you can do about it.
