Tech Workers' Job Satisfaction Hits All-Time Low, According to New Data

Tech workers are experiencing a significant decline in job satisfaction, with employee dissatisfaction now on par with workers in finance and consulting. The tech industry, once known for its generous compensation and reasonable work-life balance, is now facing a growing sense of frustration among its workforce. Factors contributing to this shift include the managementization of tech, with more managers than front-line workers, and the realization that the best jobs in tech are often non-technical roles. To regain workplace happiness and foster innovation, tech companies need to flatten organizational hierarchies, prioritize investment in technical talent, and listen to the voices of front-line employees.
