What's funny? Unionizing in the advertising/tech industry to push a political agenda is acting like sheep! How does anyone get fooled into this kind of philosophy? Mob rules? Look at the big picture and think for yourself for a change.

- ChomskyNormal4m 6y agoIt's funny how the managers, executives, board of directors, stockholders, business associations and their lobbyists all act together, pushing the political agenda - acting as a mob, as sheep - coming to a consensus - but we who are actually doing the work are lectured to isolate ourselves from one another, and not be a sheep who join a mob.
- equality_1138 6y agoExcellent point but you're also advocating for a race to the bottom and us-versus-them mentality, which would certainly weaken your product. If anything we need greater attention to the employment-at-will legal standard in most industries, so that poor management can be dealt with effectively (if at all). Anyway it's hard to believe that widespread corruption could be rooted out by an uprising of young angry geeks :) Is there actual literature on unionizing in software engineering, or is it mostly impassioned blog posts?
