Sounds like you need a union.

  > Sounds like you need a union. Yes. Unfortunately, the tech industry has too many people who have been seduced by libertarian talking points and fail to realize they're not actually capitalists.

    Throughout my career I have made the decision to take union jobs for less pay and it has paid off many time over by now. My retirement funding is solid, health insurance about as good as it gets for the US, student loans all paid off, working conditions are reasonable. Sure I get paid significantly less and don’t have a Tesla, but overall I’m pretty happy with my quality of life and have a hard time seeing how it could be much better. Thank you Union jobs!

  I'm really not sure why the tech industry needs a union. Adding a giant layer of bureaucracy in between people would wreck the whole industry. Plus we get paid a shit-ton of money with perks not seen anywhere in any other industry. I'm really not sure where this push for unionising tech is coming from, but it feels really misguided.

    because open office floor plans suck and there aren't enough conference rooms to go around, and whining about it to each other isn't going to change that.

    This sounds like someone that has not been in a union.
