As if Meta employees live on the cusp of starving.

> Some of the content moderators were earning $28,800 a year, the technology news site The Verge found last year.

In this particular case, the legal costs are probably pretty ruinous.

I think you'll find the person in question's title is quite far from content moderator.

I think you'll find that's why the "in this particular case" line is there.

		Nobody forced her to break her contract and thus come up against that. She would have been perfectly fine on the leftovers from ~$500k/y while searching for her next job. The parent makes out like she simply had to get the extra money, lest she starve to death. Which is patently ridiculous.

It's called a Hobson's choice.
