    I hate to say it but god damn if this is what you have to get a union to fight for in tech jobs, tech jobs need unions more than manual labor jobs, actually.

          Union dues are an investment.

          Edit: Op coward, edited the comment from “imagine the union dues 💀” like an Amazon bot.

          My union costs 1% of my monthly salary. This year, they threatened to strike and got us a 5% raise that way. And that’s just talking about money, not other benefits like paid time off (30 days per year).

            Oh wow, that’s amazing! I’ve never been part of a union but this sounds like a huge benefit.

      Yeah, it’s rough. Highly recommend you read “You Deserve a Tech Union” by Ethan Marcotte if you work in tech. It is needed now more than ever.

    How this should be negotiated in any company. No employee can be held liable for any security breaches that ever take place, and we cannot be insured as NO ONE can/should ever know another user’s credentials. If you are keeping track of keystrokes, you are recording every username and password…

          Except the missing words and punctuation. Like

            Using the imperative form of the verb is totally fine, and it makes the headline feel more active.

            The missing article is also a fairly common omission in headlines. That said, if they included it, they would use the US form, so “a union” instead of the British form, “an union.”

              This headline doesn’t use the imperative voice. It uses the present tense.

      “As we’ve said before, we don’t employ these Accenture workers, so it’s a matter between them and Accenture,” Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini said in an emailed statement.

      “It’s cheaper for us to outsource this labor and as long as Accenture doesn’t try to renegotiate our contract we give fuck-all what happens.”
