It always struck me as odd that people get emotionally attached to, and even make sacrifices for, work they do for a company they have no ownership over. It's just weird, but you hear so much of it in the tech industry. At least unionise first.

- the_optimist 1y agoAgree with the overall perspective, but the union thing is marginal at best. Do you think swearing alliance and allegiance to a different org, delegating authority to it, and funding it is a guaranteed success? The game theory of this is tipped to iterate to failure. Just plug in to something you like, do your best, and recognize it for what it is. You should have neither an adversarial nor misrepresented relationship. If you have it, you by definition support it.
