Which problems? Being paid well? Having a fun and interesting job? Have you ever worked a union job, did the union make shitty management suddenly disappear? Shitty management is often just swallowed up by the union itself. And I don't think I have incompetent peers, I think my peers are perfectly competent precisely BECAUSE the profession is not unionized. The fastest way to a pool of incompetent peers is by assuring the continued employment of incompetent people under the umbrella of collective protection.
- shadowgovt 6y agoI believe you just made my point for me.
- ralusek 6y agoYou said that I believe my problems come from incompetent peers, and not shitty management. I said that not only do I not believe my problems come from incompetent peers, but that I don't actually have any problems. And to the extent that I've worked under shitty management, I've had sufficient leverage to alter my situation accordingly. When I feel as though software engineers are systemically incapable of possessing the degree of leverage so as to alter their situations to a more optimal one, within reason, then I would be willing to consider bringing forth the myriad of problems that come with collectivization in order to attempt to access additional leverage. The landscape at the present could not be described as I have. So no, I haven't proved any of your points. Nothing that you said applies to what I said.
