I'm just trying to understand why on earth you wrote "gang up" here. The corporation has an HR department. Usually, this consists of more than one person. The corporation has a hell of a lot more money, legal resources, (money is speech, my friend) and so on than you do. Why isn't it obvious... the most natural thing in the world... That you would also want more than just you on your side? This is like saying "why did you join an army instead of just fighting the bad guys single-handed?" I must be missing something here, because you said this and everybody just went along with it like "oh yeah why would we do that? when this seems like asking "Why did you start a company with your friend to gang up on that new project you guys were talking about instead of just doing it yourself?" Totally, completely confused.

I've been lucky, I guess. I've never felt like I was working for the "bad guys."

  As usual, the anti-union argument on HN is "The rest of you shouldn't put up lion defenses to protect you because I'm strong enough to fight off a lion and the fences would just get in my way". Hopefully for you, your luck holds, and you never get ill/weak/sick/unable to fight lions. Like everyone else does eventually.

    (Shrug) The site is run by a VC fund, and is intentionally (but increasingly ineffectively) geared towards an audience of people interested in, or actively working on, startup companies. Is this really the best place to sell the whole "dark Satanic mills" schtick?
