When the strikes wrapped, I was hopeful that the new contracts would finally start improving things for everyone. But as an assistant, I’m still grinding 12-hour days for low pay, and the big wins don’t really touch my world yet. I’ve seen the benefits hit writers, actors, and producers, while assistants and PAs keep getting squeezed. It’s hard not to wonder if the trickle-down will ever actually happen. Do you think the strike gains will ever reach entry-level workers?

Real change takes time, but it starts with visibility. As assistants organize and push, some of those protections can expand downward.

Trickle-down benefits are slow. I do think they will eventually spread. It could just be a matter of years before that.

You would hope so, everyone deserves to get these benefits especially after the struggle of the strikes!

Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????
