    “Fearing job loss, employees work longer hours for no additional pay, allowing employers to slash even more of the workforce.”

    Ugh.

      This is what right-wingers are after globally. Once you break the government, unions and worker protections, this is what’s possible.

    I feel sorry for offshore collegues in a third party we use, the ydeal with terrible working conditions, huge commutes, very noisy offices, and yeah long working hours. Working from home was great for them imo and now rescinded so we have to try and hear them over all their shouty collegues

    My company outsourced most of the engineering team to India. It’s been an absolutely PAIN because communication is much more difficult. Nevertheless I feel so sorry for them because they do seem to work longer hours than us and I’ve seen the same person dealing with a handful of requests as when previously it was spread amongst the EU/US counterparts. I cant wait to leave this shit show.
