I guess it is just the audience on HN that is driving it, but I find it interesting that this whole discussion here is focusing on subjects like the purported STEM shortage and whether programmers should unionize. As far as I can tell the badmicrosoft.com site and suit in question really doesn't have anything to do with these subjects, other than the fact that Microsoft is the largest software company in the world. Relatively few Microsoft employees are STEM workers or programmers, and none of those in the lawsuit in question. They are in the sales organization. They may work in the technology industry, but the questions of this lawsuit are more about ageism and management issues endemic in many Fortune 500 corporations regardless of the industry or role of the worker.
