One of the things that the currently terrible job market has brought to the surface is that a lot of tech folks are not used to not having negotiating power. A few years ago, if you didn't love your job, you could get a new one. People had options. Less options means people feel more stuck and put up with more. I hope it turns around, but I also hope it gives techies some perspective before they tell other people "just switch jobs lol" like everyone can. #tech #software #developers
