What about spending all day being abused by people in a call center?
I mean sure we'd all like to make enough money to live a full life with any job but that's sadly not a reality and the point you're missing is that economies don't work the same as the US in every country.
I live in Argentina, I make 25k a year as a software developer and I'm on the top 1% of highest earners on the country
What about it? It's nowhere near the same as spending all day reading graphic rape and racist screeds, let alone look at CSAM, which is what they're paying them to do now. Did you miss the part where they are psychologically damaged from this work and the counseling they have been offered is insufficient? Call centers don't usually result in that sort of thing.
Also, maybe you shouldn't expect and defend wages that low for being in the top 1%?
They're in the top 1% for Argentina, not globally. I mean, it would be nice if every worker made US wages. It's kinda fucked though that even the lowest paid workers in America can live like kings in the Philippines. I make $42k/yr as an electrical assembler at a plant that manufactures environmental test chambers. If I take my PTO and go to almost any other country, especially Argentina, I can live like royalty for a week.
