No, not if they are all quitting companies without these conditions to go to companies that do. You cannot create the pressure necessary to make the desired changes just by quitting.
- Retric 4y agoIf 1/2 of Microsoft’s workforce decided to quit tonight the company would go ballistic looking for workers. The lag between people quitting and people finding their next job reduces the labor supply. That’s compounded by onboarding time required to conduct interviews and get people up to speed etc. It’s why companies so frequently fold in the face of strikes rather than just fire everyone, they have a great deal of individual leverage on any one employee but are completely dependent on having a workforce.
- guerrilla 4y agoYes, I did mention unions in my first post but that isn't what the person I was responding to was suggesting. They were suggesting individual action, not collective action.
- Retric 4y agoI assumed he was talking about collective action or it’s functional equivalent here: > As soon as enough people quit You don’t actually need a formal union to get large numbers of people to quit.
