About the Authors
Omar
Omar has been working at Telus International since 2017. For him, the most important thing is to establish content moderation as officially recognized occupational work, so that after working for several years one does not have a gap in one’s CV because of lacking recognition. Additionally, this would allow workers like him to demand adequate wages and numbers of vacation days, as opposed to the bare minimum that is currently company policy.
