Underpaying someone by 100% is non-sensical.

I tried my hardest to read this with good intentions and I finished it. I thought the "20m read" label at the top was exaggerated given the size of my scrollbar. But it did indeed take a while.

This website is (1) saying nothing of substance, and (2) impossible to read. While the actual content of the article isn't worth discussing, this is a great example of what bad writing looks like. There's not a single paragraph in sight.

I'm sure it's not a coincidence that it's the exact (to the dot!) writing and formatting style ChatGPT outputs.

It's a very real problem though that these firms massively underpay employees, I have seen people making 50% less and telling of being forced by their managers to give a portion of their pay to them.

So at least the initial figures, that these companies underpay by 40%, seem entirely believable and a big problem.
