Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Should developers unionize? 🤔 Y or Y not? 100k does not feel like how 100k felt 4-5 years ago TC: Less than UPS workers YOE: WouLdnT yOu LikE 2 KnOw#engineering #engineering #software #swe

Given UPS drivers can get 170k because of a union, do you think tech salaries could go up similarly if we had unions?
Better work life balance too… https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/everyone-wants-to-work-at-ups-after-union-scores-170-000-driver-pay-1.1956526.amp.html
So we can shut down everything when management does not agree to our salary demands. Look at what UPS workers achieved through a union. Getting paid 170K for delivering packages that is unskilled manual job. If we don’t form a union, the management will squeeze us more and more to give to these unio...Read more
We are all educated people, yet some of us fall for the dumbass "unions lower wages" propaganda. Lets even set aside the fact that unionized workers have a higher median income, and police unions get away with wanton murder.

Short for UaaS. After seeing so many unions being formed like UPS, university TA's, Hollywood writers, and now soon SWE's, I was thinking of building a UaaS platform. Would like your input. A simple use case might go like this: 1. Create a new union. 2. Specify industry or cause. 3. List of deman...Read more
Look how great unionizing has worked out for NBA players. You can have a union and still have competitive salaries and firings. The biggest thing I would want to see a tech union implement would be a cap of executive total compensation of 50:1 of the median employee compensation and a revenue/profit...Read more

I live in the San Mateo area, so when the UPS truck leaves 8am from South San Francisco, we are the last to get the package, like 7pm or something. But I think people who live in South San Francisco or Burlingame, they probably get their package first thing in the morning. For today, it is like I ...Read more
