You are delusional if you think that "everyone" else is powerless in front of their employers. There's many widely unionized profession where there balance of power is between employers and employee is fairly balanced, sometimes more so than software engineering.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoMy point is rather that the power in software industry was, so far, heavily imbalanced, disproportionately favoring the employee. This is, if not unique, then at least a pretty rare situation. Unionized professions may be fairer than non-unionized, but compared to software dev pay, unions only turn a shitty salary into merely meh salary.
- zer0tonin 4y agoSure, tell that to actors.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoThey'd surely agree - if I made sure to ask all actors (or a hypothetical average actor) instead of just the popular ones.
- emodendroket 4y agoThat includes many people who are on TV or in movies a lot! Most of them are not Tom Cruise and are more or less expendable.
- Animats 4y agoRight. Average acting income for members of the Screen Actors Guild is a few thousand a year. They're all part-timers, really, always looking for the next gig.
