> When that investor letter to Google ceo came out, I unfortunately suggested that maybe for a company like Google, too high salaries would bring people in who "work for money and not passion". Everyone works for money. That's the deal. People rent their time in exchange for a salary. If it was actually enjoyable, it would be called a hobby not a job and people would be the one paying to do it. I fail to see the link between that, the awfuly named "trend" of "quiet quiting" - doing what you are paid for is not quiting, it's just doing your job - and collective bargaining. Seems to me that most people just want to do their job well without having to swallow gallons of company kool-aid while doing so, be allowed to take pride in what they do, be afforded an amount of trust and consideration befitting an adult and provided appropriate working conditions rather than being treated like cattle. So basically go back to the seventies before the "modern" world decided to follow Reagan and Thatcher in their madness and self sabotage.
