To india? That bad is google ?
We can type all the shit we want here on Lemmy but there's a reason they hired an Indian guy as CEO of Google and pay him millions while we slave at our 9-5 for peanuts.
Why do you think they picked the guy as the CEO?
Maybe now software engineers will unionize.
Most tech workers in India are in Bangalore. Most tech workers in Bangalore are originally from Karela. Most people from Karela are communists.
So, yeah, they probably will.
Lemme correct it People from all over India do job in *Bengaluru

Mining the goodness that used to be there happened long ago; it got so bad that they killed the patient about a decade ago, and now his decay is getting advanced enough that they know they need to start grabbing his jewelry and hunting through his wallet for any credit cards that haven’t been maxed yet, because it won’t fool anyone to keep toting him around town pretending he’s still the mayor. It was fun while it lasted though.
