Your comment made me realize why burnout exists.

  It's funny because we all think the grass is always greener and yet.. my most recent 2 job leads: * a firm that was demanding devs return to office already in January pre-vaccine, justifying it by paying for Ubers & doing PCR testing in office * a firm which in its job-spec explicitly listing that "8a-6p are standard hours" and "plus other hours as required for role / due to support / meetings out of region / some flexibility required" what a shitshow tech can be

    We can push back by publicly shaming bad actors and ensuring they go to the back of the queue along with the firms with psychopathic interview processes when it comes to choosing tech talent at a time of high demand. Unionising would probably be better but for some reason a bad word around these parts...

      Much Good has come from unions. So why would that be a "bad word around these parts" ?
      • mixedCase 5y ago
        Because Much Evil has also come from unions, devs are in high demand, and unions are political structures instead of technical ones.

          Why does the fact that devs are in high demand mean a union is bad? How does demand relate to unions at all?

        I’m an uber capitalist but I think all workers should be totally free to unionize. Unions gave us the weekend, can’t be all bad.
