@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social @funkylab@mastodon.social @axel@hsnl.social but for freelancers those numbers would be the same, no? either way, after having stated that the it-industry is a bit full of it, i feel i also need to state that we need to get all these wage-georges (aka billionaires) to cough up all these wages they swallowed up in their sleep, so social workers, teachers, plumbers, farmers, and healthcare workers can get a raise.

@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social yeah, as a freelancer you pay your own insurances and retirement. I need to calculate a factor of 2.5× to 3× between my rate and an hourly salary to not be off *worse* than someone in employment. That doesn't even factor in that I can become without work at any point. @malte@anticapitalist.party @axel@hsnl.social @Gina@fosstodon.org @landesregierung@social.schleswig-holstein.de @digitalhubsh@social.schleswig-holstein.de
