This is a perfect example of why we need a union for tech engineers. The “if you were better” argument or other reasons that people in tech love to use doesn’t apply here - this is a pure capital Vs labor power dispute.
This kind of bullshit and “sorry nothing I can do” response from a line manager is unacceptable to just be ok with - especially when it’s purely driven by rent seeking.
- withinboredom 3y agoI've thought about building an international tech union, interfaced with via CLI. It would be so much fun (even the legal issues of having a union in so many countries)! Seriously, I'd love to do it, but I'm too broke to pull that one off -- I'd probably need millions just to get started.
