Over 70% of cybersecurity professionals often have to work weekends to address security concerns at their organization, according to a new report by Bitdefender.

This intense workload appears to correlate strongly with job dissatisfaction, with around two-thirds (64%) of the 1200 cyber professionals surveyed stating that they are planning on looking for a new job in the next 12 months.

The issue of burnout and job dissatisfaction was particularly profound among UK respondents, with 81% often working weekends and 71% looking for a new job.

yeah fuck that, i don't want 24/7 work just because they can theoretically reach my almost dead carcass 24/7.

we need unions asap 🧅

unions would probably make sure all juniors have to work weekends. kinda like airline unions make juniors work 10x unpaid labor hours than the seniors

you are probably thinking of a terrible union. ive been in those, don't bother with them.

how would you know ahead of time? mostly (in USA at least) you don’t get a choice. when you join a job if they have a union you have to join, even if its corrupt. how can you prevent them from becoming corrupt?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

in my country you don't have to join it. i generally take a look at what they do and its real apparent when they suck up to bosses.

most unions are like this nowadays over here, but there are good ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

ah, thanks for explaining that. if there is an option to join or not join, then the unions would have some incentive to do a good job. but in the usa, that isn't an option, so every union eventually turns corrupt.

I'm sure that was done intentionally, to render unions (worse than) useless.
