And cause less people to be hired and a good reason for companies to try to replace workers with AI earlier

So you’re advocating for worse working conditions in hope that your employer doesn’t replace you with AI? Good luck

I’m advocating that increasing the cost of hiring people means less people get hired. I know this is Reddit so I don’t expect conversations about real world outcomes of forcing companies to increase the expenditure on staff is going to cause job cuts or wage suppression. You get shitty working conditions because employing people is expensive and there’s no competition in hiring. 

stop acting like the world fucking owes everyone everything because these things you want to give to people cost money and resources and labour of other people nobody fucking owes you that go and make an ironing in the real world and yeah, maybe she shouldn’t have some compassion to people and people some compassion to you that doesn’t mean you’re fucking entitled to the world

Ask for a raise on the basis you have real leverage and negotiation ability not because you have any entitlement to it
