alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don't have overseas help you're at a disadvantage

It's wild that people celebrate folks sending jobs overseas as "smart business people", but then demonize workers asking for wages to keep to with inflation as "greedy".

I wonder if this guy's anti-immigration too.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but not anti temporary-migrant-workers.

Or anti-cheap visa workers that can be abused and threatened with being sent home.

What about those that send jobs overseas without the demonizing? Should they be equally criticized?

The people doing the demonizing of workers are the ones praising the business owners. Although sometime they're also business owners themselves, I was more talking about financial reporters, TV personalities, and bootlickers.

But, yes.
