no, its not. Not in any white collar professions, not in any blue collar jobs, not in the military, not in academia.

You are only safe when you don't have bosses and all responsibility and power rests on yourself.

Almost...you find coworkers and share responsibility mutually. You don't need to put it all on your own back.

Yes. For example German workers have better than average protection from exploitation

This is from 2018 and shows where you can actually have some rights as a worker. It's not hopeless: https://www.ituc-csi.org/IMG/pdf/ituc-global-rights-index-20...

German workers have protection from their company owned laptops being disabled?

I would imagine that this is also the case for German tech workers as well.

My point was that tech probably isn't all that different from other professions where there are layers of management on top.

The parent comment made it seem like "tech" was worse than "other," which I'm not sure is true.
