why would top talent risk their jobs and get less for the sake of supporting underperformers? thats how unions work in this case. they make a lot more sense where there's stuff like blatant safety issues in factory settings than when e1s are Mad Online that they have to go into office and it's Literally 1984

Why do doctors and writers have unions? None of them are in a meat packing floor.

Everybody thinks they’re special until they’re not. Tons of top talent at Amazon and Facebook were recently laid off. You’re not safe just because you’re smart.

Doctors don't have unions. They have guilds (or even better cartels a la AMA).
True. And conversely your not smart just because your safe.
This is lies. Show me top talent that was laid off
I used to work there and I know people who currently are mangers (among other positions) there. Maybe they’re all lying to me, but I doubt it.
How do you know they are lying?
