Putting devs in charge is not the same thing as giving them structured and respected input.
It's a massive jump from "give devs a seat at the table" to "putting devs in charge", and one I frankly find hard to believe is made in good faith.
- erlich 4y agoWhat has a union got to do with „give devs a seat at the table“? By „seat at the table“ you mean a way to get what they want by force or against the will of the owners. You don’t need a union to collect employee feedback. Smart management will do this and if they don’t then employees can jump ship to a competitor that does.
- Apocryphon 4y agoWhy do you jump immediately to forcing their way, you’re talking the language of class struggle. A seat to negotiate with would be a good place to start, and it would lead to more cooperation, not necessarily conflict. All companies collect employee feedback. Much harder to act upon it. Yes, workers can leave- but not always!- but isn’t it easier if they had a mechanism to negotiate with power, to talk it over like adults, instead of having to resort to quitting?
