Because all those actually happen? Tell me why I should want a union for myself.

I could say the same about pro-union comments. They are repeated every week here and reddit. The only thing I see is that it works in Sweden, or it works here but in a very niche industry. I haven't ever seen one plan where it could wo

So that would be the plan, to replicate entertainment industry union pay to the tech industry? Has anyone seriously thought this through or is it just theory.

I've only heard of one during covid, and mostly people didn't care (IMO).

Calling something a cult should have its own godwin law. I don't think you'll find any "fans" of a up-or-out system, but you will find people who will gravitate towards it because the 'up' part of it can be ext

Sorry you've only worked in places like that. There are places where very smart people doing work that nobody in the company can do and they are well aware and rewarded for it.

I don't think anyone here is actually reading the paper. The conversation is all about Tech workers and unions. At least thats the way I'm reading these comments as of now.

Unions remove the need for HR?

Ironic considering that tech attracts people with rational thought and less emotional decision making. Is it surprising that I can be rational and not naive? bad take.

What? I try to negotiate maximum profit every time I apply for a new job, don't you?

>tech attracts a certain kind of gullible person This is incredibly condescending. This is exactly the type of elitism speak that tells people how to vote because they know whats better for them.

Those individuals with those skills already have negotiating power because they are in demand.

So play it out with me. Use Faangs as an example please. Say all the engineers in all the top engeering companies by pay were suddenly in a union, how does the collective bargaining work on pay. You don't think pay would be lowered f

No, I don't see those complaints anywhere. US workers are paid so much more that the lower salary + higher taxes are not worth it. Especially due to the fact that many of the high paying SWE jobs include very good health insurance. S

>collective action is the only way labour can regain a modicum of negotiating power. Does collective action mean everyone gets paid the same? If not, how does that work exactly?

by mlrtime 11mo ago
Again, this is all very idealistic and not reality. Specifically for US SWE workers, this would not happen.

And this is where the union threads die, every time. Top post is essentially saying Americans/SWE are dumb for not being in a union, then comparing to other countries. As soon as someone companies US SWE salaries to these union countri

This is such a cynical unoriginal take. No, I don't care about being in a unicorn and I'm not a embarrassed billionaire. But I don't idolize unions either. I don't want to be paid the same as all other workers with the s

What does it mean to work "in the office of the CTO"? On the surfance it sounds like an admin. Also, hacking satellite cards was fun, I kinda miss those days. Kids don't know how easy they have it now.

It's not really magic, in my project folder I will git clone the source code of whatever I'm working on. I will put something in the the local md file like: Use ./home-assistant/core for the source code of home assistan

This sounds like paranoia to me to be honest. Please tell me I'm wrong. I could have easily come up with just the same claim, without seeing the benchmark, it doesn't exist. Maybe if we weren't anonymous and your profile lead

FWIW I don't agree with anything you're saying but again, I'm glad there is some debate from another side. I suck at writing software, like bad. I can't remember syntax at all. I couldn't write working code on a whi

Just replying that I read your post, and don't disagree with some of what you wrote, and I'm glad there are some people that peacefully/respectfully push back (because balance is good). However, I don't agree that AI is

I've also led a team of Incident Commanders at a FAANG. If this was a routine config change, I could see how it could take 2 hours to start the mediation plan. However they should have dashboards that correlate config setting changes w

There is nothing else to do since CF is down... so. There is nothing wrong with shouting during a perceived outage. Shouting is just raising your voice to give a notion of urgency. Yelling is different. How often have you heard "shout
