Let’s go through the comment thread here again: 1. Someone asked what protections an employee could expect to receive from an employment contract in a right to work state. 2. I responded that right to work is not related to employment contracts but to unions and listed a number of protections and benefits regularly covered by employment contracts. 3. You came in saying that, anecdotally, the benefits are either non-existent in your industry or only available to top executives and ending with a sort of anti-“corporate overlord” conspiracy about how every term in an employment contract is a negative to an employee because the employer writes the contract. 4. I told you that contracts are bilateral and therefore you should negotiate, start your own business, or quit. 5. You responded with the first actual personal attack by stating that even suggesting that someone negotiate, start a business, or quit meant that I came from a life of luxury and privilege and how my supposed privilege blinds me to the cost of quitting an industry before again going on an rant based on your specific situation (that you refuse to leave) and generalizing your refusal to negotiate, start your own business, or leave to “nobody” negotiating, starting their own company, or leaving. 6. I responded to your personal attack by noting that I don’t come from privilege, that I have changed industries, that it is possible to finance it via student loans, and that I have been in similar situations as you and taken a different path. I noted that some people’s actions match their espoused beliefs while noting that you don’t appear to be one of those peoples. I then made a snarky comment about how you seem to be the type to deem something hard before even trying it and to cry privilege while you stay at your cushy white collar job. 7. You responded shifting your argument from “nobody” does this to “nobody smart” (obviously, because you’re smart and you haven’t done it) does this (a strange argument on a website like HN given its relationship with startups…) and crying about personal attacks. Oh, and apparently you really love your job after all despite all the prior ranting about how much you hate your job. And apparently you don’t want to get into a who-has-privilege argument with me after all now that you know my background sort of undercuts your entire argument.
