When FANNG companies payout upwards of $1M/year/engineer - seems hard to understand why an employee would need a union.
- callalex 3y agoThose companies are absolutely not paying out 1M/yr to the average engineer. Only a small handful of engineers make that much money.
- aeyes 3y agoLet's start with on-call, some companies ask to always be on-call to whatever extend the local law permits. No weekend for you.
- meowtimemania 3y agoThat doesn’t happen at LinkedIn. I don’t totally understand what I would have to gain from a union when I feel like my employer treats me really well. The union feels like unneeded overhead
- asadotzler 3y agoWhen the NBA pays its players tens of millions of dollars a year - seems hard to understand why an NBA player would need a union.
- tiffanyh 3y agoThe NBA is an extreme outlier case where even the NBA wants there to be a union because any single player can have drastic negative repercussions. Theres virtually no other business that yields so much revenue from only ~10 people (5 on court players and 5 bench players). If Lebron decided to not show up to a bunch of games, this would have massive repercussions for the entire league & TV contracts.
