America North (Canada) here. Labour laws relatively similar. Is it bad I’ve been conditioned that my immediate response is “bitch leave”. I work in IT. I’ve been burnt out twice in my career second time actually getting a doctor’s note to get removed off on call for an app. Never once did I think of leave. I didn’t know that was a thing outside of the more ambiguous “stress leave” which is maybe what they’re referring to?

Anyways. I’m jelly.

Hello Canada my old friend.

something stupid.

Say no more.

CI/CD If right should be including a try: AI except: no AI

The elephant in the room more people need to pay attention to that many of us who work in IT are painfully intimate with.

Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

100% many of them are sexist, racist and bigoted pieces of shit that hide it at work because they’re adept at masking the fact that a lot of them are borderline autistic at worst and neurodivergent at best.

This is also why you see such a deep investment in idiocy like AI, Bitcoin and other paradigm shifts. They all have their heads up their asses and feel they’re better than everyone else.

Couple all this with the demographic being primarily white males.

Fuck talk to any woman who works in IT. It’s changing yes, but Jesus Christ it’s a cesspool in many ways.
