It's not really a binary choice either. With unions it just increases the probability of you being on a team of terrible engineers while lowering the probability of you getting layed off.
So the real question is which probability metric is more important to you and other engineers?

- kilgnad 4y agoNo, one scenario is slightly better because it gives you the choice to quit. In the other scenario there is no choice. Times constantly change you won't always be in a situation where you have the finances to just quit just because you're frustrated with a job. As a high paid SWE we often forget that A job is more then doing something you "like" to do, it is a means of survival. When times change, when hard times come or when some life changing event happens, being allowed to survive is a good thing.
