other resources - no judgment, just what I've observed in worker movements:

- overemployment: take multiple remote jobs, meet expectations on performance but not on hours-in-seat

- "indie dev" path with recurring saas/IAP is also worth considering but obviously doesn't work at scale to solve these issues (ancaps would have you believe that the solution is for every person to become a business)

- talk compensation with your coworkers (check your labor rights) and organize

Talking compensation has opened my eyes to this. We need to stop this culture of being secretive about compensation.

it benefits no one but the employer, and talking about it is usually legally protected (though look out for illegal retaliation). the ridiculous double standard of employers shaming workers for talking pay is that they all spend time and money organizing regional pay standards with other employers, whether through their VC firms, exec connections, or research firms. It's time we really take their advice to "act like owners".
