    As a tech worker for over 25 years, I say good for them.

    Hell, if my back, knees and neck weren’t already fucked, I’d be damned tempted to start driving for UPS.

    I’m already kind of nearing a point where a move away from tech is appealing, but even if I accept the idea of some reduction in pay, I’m at a loss for what I can do that wouldn’t see me losing half my income which would just be more than I’d like to bear.
