Tech and Software adjacent professions have to be ones that are least likely to unionize.
There was an internal survey (unofficial) at my workplace right after a mass layoff 2 years back about how many were interested in forming a union. There were 3 options - Interested, Not Sure and Against. The option with most votes was "Against".
I could go into the reasons which were submitted in survey but in short most were related to hyper individualism that is so pervasive.
- chrisweekly 2y agoAdmitting in a survey that you're pro-union might be (rightly) perceived as high-risk, no reward.
- smallmancontrov 2y agoYes, but the hyper-individualism is very familiar. I wonder if the balance has changed since the 2022 wake-up call.
- callc 2y agoWow that really sounds like a captor killing a few captives and then asking the rest of the “ok, so who else wants to try to work together to escape?”
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoOne would get far better responses if you just used the word "professional association" instead of "union".
