Yeah businesses are run by people, and people often make poor decisions. And it's usually impossible to judge the wisdom of decisions until long after they are made.
My employer is generous, and I think they treat the employees well. So that seems like a good business practice. But it might be the case that they're overly generous such that eventually they have some financial hardship. Maybe a competitor arises that spends less on payroll and employee benefits and takes over our market and makes me unemployed. It could happen, or it might not.
I guess the bottom line for me is that I disagreed with the headline. I've mostly always worked in tech companies for decades now, Maybe I've been fortunate but I've generally found all my employers to be decent and honest. They're just people, same as any other kind of job. And my compensation has always seemed fair and competitive.
The irony is that my current employer was founded by an Indian that immigrated to the US to start the business. The place is, like many tech companies, full of Indians. We've got offices in India too. Got offices all over the fuckin world, and employees from everywhere.
And do you feel immune to the possibility of being replaced? You don't think your employer could choose to eliminate your position or replace you with someone who will work for less? Entire manufacturing companies have uprooted and moved their factories overseas. You don't think that could happen to you? Will being able to call your boss a faggot stop your employer from going bankrupt and shit canning everyone?
