Ah shame, shame, stupid low-experience employees just falling for some savvy bad-employer tricks. But it’s not like the small-town social bubble of West Coast software development is a stranger to collusion. What was that thing again? Apple

I’m absolutely being sarcastic. The context is that the OP complained about one business colluding with others by way of informal no-hire lists for employees that don’t tolerate this wage theft. The response to that is to focus on how other

Leading in this context is a euphemism for management. That faux-egalitarian “could you X” (bonus points for upspeak).[1] For some reason it grinds my gears when people in formal positions of authority insist on talking about being a lead
