Tech workers need to unionize. You aren't petit bourgeois any longer. Corps aren't even pretending y'all are not a fungible as everyone else now that they smell blood in the water.

Before I left my previous company the CEO waxed philosophical about adopting the 996, even as we had above target profits for then nth quarter in a row and layoffs rolling over every department.

How will unions help layoffs? In the auto industry, unionized shops are still seeing record layoffs.

Tech just isn't compatible with unions. Most unions involve so much red tape that it would cripple the tech industry from innovating and just allow other countries with no unions to dominate.

You have always been replaceable, but there's a big difference between making $100,000+ with full benefits after going through years of high education and a minimum wage factory job.

we really need to categorise this as mental illness in order to pushback. Its a symptom of hoardcurse, i.e. people trying to justify the assets they have through performance theatre, when they could instead just accept they're somewhat fortunate.
