Well, we're definitely seeing more interest in unions and work/life balance among younger generations now, and more people pushing back on the insanity of job applications, the attempts to force them to return to the office, etc. There's a growing attitude from millennials and younger that work shouldn't define your entire life, and that being paid a pittance to work in poor conditions while the bosses reap huge salaries isn't a justifiable setup for work.
Tech was the one exception to this, with a lot of folks in this industry seeing labour movements as irrelevant and having more of 'every man for themself' attitude brought on by high levels of compensation and cushy working conditions.
But that may definitely change now. We all got too complacent due to the startup and tech industry bubble, and the insane benefits this industry offered, and thought we were irreplaceable as a result. Now things are looking a bit more grim, it feels like this attitude is going to die down a lot more.
