Keep it coming!

Realistically , this needs to be an EU-led initiative. Only Europe as a whole has the influence to enact legislation to provide fair, adequate WFH guidelines and not bow down to large multinational corporations.

I can only imagine the glee from HR departments when they realized they can just yo-yo the number of mandatory WFO days until people quit without redundancy payments: that’s not something they will give up easily without significant pushback at a large scale.

Type to get those AI agents running 😉

I filled it the other day. Be interesting to see if anything comes of it, or if it’s more wishy washy shite like the right to request WFH. Sure you always had that right, now it’s just lawful to ask?

This will be an election issue for me. I didn’t hear enough about it at the last GE.

>The idea that somebody would stay here when it actively injures their interests is frankly mental.

I think I quite clearly layout how moving abroad for work, even if it has better pay, can injure a person’s interests which go beyond purely financial. Loss of friends, disconnect from family, language gap in new location, time differences with colleagues, all play a factor not just how much ends up in the bank at the end of the day.

>The tech sector, especially the high paying jobs in Google, Meta, et al are disproportionately foreign compared to most Irish jobs. So these people have *already* moved countries and uprooted their lives to come here.

I feel like you are ignoring the fact that these companies pay differently based on the cost of living in that location. A software developer employed by Google out of their California offices isn’t a better employee than one out of Dublin but they get paid a lot more. They get paid more not because of the work they do but because it costs a fuck ton more to live in San Francisco than it does Dublin.

If people were willing to move abroad with their high paying jobs to get more take home pay they would just drive the wages down. The ones who aren’t would still get higher pay as their cost of living is unchanged.

I mean even with the likes of Google who employees above average amounts of Indian nationals here they have offices in India that do the same work but just don’t pay as much because cost of living is lower and thus high wages aren’t as needed.

And again all of this ignores that remote working doesn’t exclusively mean 100% remote work. No one is flying back from Ibiza once a week, staying in their childhood bedroom or booking an exorbitantly expensive shitty hotel, to attend their anchor day once or twice a week.

They are more than likely just considering living back where they grew up, where their friends and family are, in a nice place in Ballinasloe rather than a shitty house with 4+ other people in Cabra that somehow costs more.
