What I find shocking is that they'll work for a billionaire for £10/h, and let him micro-monitor break time.

What choice do you think people have? At minimum wage pretty much all jobs are like that.

Supermarkets pay more than that and while aren't exactly cushy, they aren't as bad as the reported warehouse conditions of an amazon factory.

Other warehouses, despite what internet pundits will tell you, are much the same.

Tech workers in air-conditioned buildings are out of touch on how the underclass live and work. BUT I PICKED TOMATOES FOR A SUMMER JOB WHEN I WAS 15
