I wouldn’t exactly say “complicit”. I’m sure that many of them are desperately searching for a new job to get away from whatever idiot product manager decided to put ads and microtransactions in minesweeper.
In the meantime, they don’t have much of a choice but to do as they’re told, or be fired.

- WheatMillington 2y agoIt's not like you can just decide one day that you're in a union now. Do you guys even live in the real world?
- wizzwizz4 2y agoYou actually can, if everyone else also decides that at the same time. That's the necessary and sufficient condition. It reduces to a coordination problem. If everyone wants to unionise, the only hard part is doing it: but that is only as hard as just… doing it. If you think you'd benefit from a union, then either: (1) you're an outlier (unlikely); (2) you're mistaken (possible); or (3) many of your colleagues would also benefit from a union. Talking to your colleagues about unionising (over a communications channel not controlled by your employer) is a sensible next step in each of these cases.

- wizzwizz4 2y agoConsidering that many unions exist… no, it's not. It's easier to start a union now than it was back when unions were invented.
