The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out
Individuals — especially those of us with some seniority left to spend — have to keep naming it, even when it costs us something socially.

The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out
That means saying something — not to the recruiter who was just the messenger, but in the rooms where you have standing: to colleagues, in public writing like this, in the rare conversation with someone who actually holds hiring power.

The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out
Pressing the recruiter just puts them on the spot to defend something they didn't decide, and the likeliest outcome is that you look like you can't take rejection gracefully.

The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out
Crystallized intelligence, the accumulated knowledge, judgment, and vocabulary you build through decades of doing the work, keeps climbing well into your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

A #tech worker-backed #PAC is bringing a $5M knife to #BigTech’s $100M gunfight
A new #SuperPAC Aims to Rally #TechWorkers to Help Limit #AI: '#GuardrailsAlliance'
"This is not about matching [#LeadingTheFuture] dollar for dollar," [said the super PAC's co-founder, political operative Shaunna Thomas]. "What this vehicle is meant to do is be a political home for people who are concerned about the way the anti-regulation AI tech sector is trying to manipulate elections."

Några av oss planerar att delta på detta möte och hoppas få träffa andra som är intresserade av frågor kring teknik, övervakning, digitala rättigheter och teknikens påverkan på samhället.
Om du också ska dit och vill komma i kontakt med oss, hör gärna av dig före eller under mötet.
Vi ses där.

Heb Braggs calls for tech workers to both organise and decenter themselves to resist the technological totalitarianism that oligarchs are trying to bring about.

Working on some #poster designs to gather stories and information from workers who have lost jobs to #AI or are being forced to use it in the workplace. Incorporating some hauntingly beautiful art from @prahou who was helpful enough to point me at a few other pieces that might inspire more designs as well.
Edit: for anyone interested in using these designs, I've released them here:

Oh, look! Another revolutionary tech-worker utopia called "Demand Coop" 🤯💡. Because nothing screams "power to the people" like a convoluted jargon pile named 'Cahootz' that's sure to be more effective than just asking for a raise. 🙄

Wow, "tokenmaxxing" is the new buzzword for #Amazon employees desperately pretending to know #AI 🧠💼—because who needs actual #skills when you can just fake it till you make it! 🙄 AI tools: helping tech workers maintain the #illusion of #competence since yesterday. 😂

https://linuxiac.com/gitlab-restructures-around-ai-agents-and-cuts-jobs/
GitLab is cutting jobs, by up to 30%, and restructuring itself around “AI agents” that will handle more coding, reviews, approvals, and deployments.
The CEO is literally describing the future as “software built by machines, directed by people.”
Watching tech companies throw workers under the bus so they can chase the latest AI trend is getting real dystopian real fast.

Unser gestriges Treffen im @cccac war ein voller Erfolg. Der #hackspace war voll und es gab so viele fantastische Gespräche.
Unabhängig davon ob wir uns bald in der #FAU wiedersehen: Sprecht über euer Gehalt mit Kolleg*innen und Freund*innen und stellt die Frage "Wenn es ein Ding gäbe, dass du auf der Arbeit ändern würdest, was wäre das?", denn da kommen meist spannende Erkenntnisse bei rum, statt wenn man fragt "Wie läuft's auf der Arbeit?".

2026 workers say they’re drowning in ‘workslop’ *
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/14/ai-productivity-workplace-errors* WORKSLOP refers to AI-generated work that seems polished but is flawed and in need of heavy corrections

#STEM graduates once clamored for jobs in Big Tech, but not so readily anymore. Since Israel began its genocide in #Gaza, it has relied on AI and surveillance systems developed by once-dream-job companies like #Google #Amazon, and #Microsoft Today, many students and workers, uncomfortable with the prospect of fortifying the Israeli war machine, are engaging in a concerted effort to build alternative futures in technology.

I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of #laidoff #techworkers would love to hear this, that is, if they can access the Internet from the burgeoning #tentcities of newly #homeless tech workers growing to monstrous proportions outside of #seattle and #siliconvalley. #microslop #microsoft #aislop #fuckthis
