I work in tech. Everything is about ROI, productivity gains, savings, while I still grind through 40-hour weeks for shit pay, pretending I care about any of this.

We're automating everything, and what for? To scale faster. To take on more projects. Increase productivity.

All the tech advancements and automation... Stupid AI hype... and somehow we're all still working 40 hours, 5 days a week. We just get more tasks. Never-ending list of tasks.

I just want to sit in a meadow and have a tea picnic.

This whole system is a scam.

You work in tech and aren't getting paid well? You must: not be good, not know your value, or have a really crazy shitty tech job. (or some combo of all of these)
