    They have WFH and make 6 figures per year. Explain to me why it’s surprising the company converted it to WFH. You take the perks with the disadvantages they entail, unless, we’re supposed to be angry with tiktok and don’t really care for the workers 🤔

    If it sounds bad and it’s not illegal, the problem isn’t tik tok!

      Quit this bullshit. A lot of tech workers working remotely are contractors, precarious workers. Content moderators, data labelers, and the likes are not paid 6 figures and they are not privileged. Most of the workforce of these companies are not white, rich dudebros. Stuff like this adds insult to injury.

        Is it illegal though? Perhaps start there, with worker protection law. Everyone is happy to help the dudebros exploit the working class as long as line goes up.

        Edit: Lol, 1s, immediate downvote. If only you were as assiduously fighting the exploitation…

          I’m a union organizer in tech. My downvote was the 8th, not the 1st. I was busy doing a call with striking riders in Greece. Keep up the good work, scab.

            I’m genuinely unsure they’re a scab, I think they’re saying that we cannot expect these parasitic companies to have the workers best interests at heart, and as such strong workers rights should be enshrined in law and enforced.

            I could be misunderstanding them though of course.

              Pitting different types of workers against each other automatically promotes you to a scab. Purism and sectarianism are much more harmful to labor organizing than union busting.

    And people mocked Trump for wanting to “rake” the forest floor.

    Who’s laughing now?

    Cue all of the excuses and blame Trump anyway

    So this is the easiest opportunity for the most upvoted comment ever, thanks to Mr.As-Long-As-It’s-Not-Illegal-It’s-Fine down there!

    I would still like to add my opinion: TikTok is an instrument of non-conventional warfare and espionage, why is it still running like it is
