- toomuchtodo 3y agoThis is not my koolaid flavor. It appears you’re pretty sold on those paths as most ideal from your post history, but it is disingenuous to ask people to do what you’re asking simply to have better working arrangements or conditions and better pay. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8601695 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8601695
- koonsolo 3y agoI live in Belgium, and employees are very well protected here, and unions very strong. So I definitely get the difference between us and US :). If you're in US and want to move closer to a system as we have in EU, I get that. It just seems to me that a lot of times, people get stuck in this boss vs servant mentality. That companies are these groups of people that control everything. I find it a very wrong view of the world. In the western world it's so easy to become your own boss, and even employ people if you wish. All of a sudden you are part of this group that "controls everything". Plenty of people are not 'school smart' like software developers, but still start some contracting business and make nice money.
