It’s really unfortunate how naive we (us in tech) still are about the employer-employee relationship and how much leverage we got. The talent/merotocracy propaganda we’ve been showered with since The Great Recession can’t wear off soon enough. Labour organizing in Big Tech can really grind the machine to a halt, given its dependence.

We all have our own blinkers on. But maybe my field of vision is a little to the left or right of yours. I’m not always this clear-minded, especially after dinner and stressing over my own petty struggles. The sun shone today in a way that made me notice, is all.

You’re not wrong. I just think we may be a bit higher on our own farts than other fields, due to the chronic labour shortage in the 2010s.
