Tech companies have (historically) optimized on talent acquisition and therefore have to listen to, and appear to take seriously, the wishes of labor.
Other industries don’t cater to the demands of labor. Everyone is replaceable, but not so much in Silicon Valley.

- analognoise 3y agoThe recent layoffs have shown how untrue this is - the tech set thought they were a special class of labor, and if you were "good enough" you wouldn't be let go. Very accomplished, productive people have been let go in the recent layoffs. Being "productive" was always a paper shield, but it's not even that anymore; I think they're trying to disabuse the tech set of the notion that they aren't labor to bring wages down.
