As usual, i'd take this kind of articles with the proverbial grain of salt. There always are a number of workers that are frustrated and very vocal about that, and a number of workers that are not frustrated at all but aren't vocal about it.
Media has a tendency to exaggerate one of the two numbers.
But which one is the largest? We don't know for sure and we can't hardly know.
Also, why is "tech workers' opinion" more important than other workers opinion?
Nobody cares, you get wage-squeezed by AI, you can be glad you are at least not wage-squeezed by HB1.
The question is: what do they expect those companies to do?
Just like subjects in other fascist regimes, be damned if they do comply, be damned if they don’t.
> The question is: what do they expect those companies to do?
All companies (not just tech companies) always comply with whoever is currently in charge. A business just cannot operate without complying with the law.
People tend to forget that, and also people ultimately tend to pick the fat paycheck over the ideals.
It's an ironical recurrence: tech workers complain loud and often but they're still there everyday implementing and optimizing the same "nightmare" they complain about.
