What is HN doing about serious attempts from the likes of Pinkertons to create FUD in these threads? We know for a fact that tech companies are their customer, and we know they're ruthless in online disinfo. Is HN doing any monitoring to the discourse to make sure the comments are coming from actual individuals rather than a company buying up a bunch of HN accounts with history and creating disfino and FUD?

It shouldn't be shocking that a site full of tech nerds is going to be rallying for meritocracy when these unions want 1% of salaries. I don't see how a union would make my life better. When I hate my job, I leave my job and find a new one within a week. If I am swapping into a new role or looking for something specific, a month. I just see this as creating an additional bureaucratic layer that steals my money and gives me the same rights I currently do. What more could someone want? Foot massages? Even at a non-FAANG company, life as an SE is very comfortable.
