As AI companies rave about how their products are revolutionizing productivity, Senator Bernie Sanders wants the tech industry to put its money where its automated mouth is.
I’ve had a difficult time negotiating this as an American mechanical engineer. There’s this bizarre norm of working long weeks even though we get paid way more than most jobs.
I just want health care and they won’t offer it at 32 hours. If I’m missing some obvious trick here, please inform me!
Sure, but that’s not what’s being discussed. Sanders is saying people deserve a 4 day work week at full pay.
Anyone can negotiate a 4 day work week for a 20% paycut. That’s not worth public figures time to discuss.

Move out of the US?
it’s almost as if the US is a shitty place to live O:
Except even with a 20% pat cut it might still be hard to get because any amount of personal time threatens your dedication to their profits.
