Google Workers form Union
What a joke. The creator of this “union” has been at Google for 1.2 years. She has submitted a pathetically low amount of code, and yet she has the audacity to claim “We built Google. This is not the company we want to work for.” THEN LEAVE. You aren’t the coworker we want to work next to. You have 200 members? That means 99.93% of employees aren’t members. You didn’t build Google. You haven’t done shit. You are literally an L3 who deleted their LinkedIn to make it less obvious to outsiders that you are literally a nobody (just like me and all the other new grads) within Google. You probably joined with the very intent of stirring shit up. No, we don’t need / want a union. And you want to take away 1% of our total compensation for your “dues”? Fuck off. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/04/opinion/google-union.html Update: There are 280,000 employees and TVCs. Since this 200 includes TVCs, that means 200/280,000 people have joined. That’s 0.07%. There are probably more people at Google who believe the earth is flat than have joined this union.
Who care. Unionization is a good thing for us workers.
Speak for yourself I think it would kill the tech industry. Makes job switching harder. Makes firing non-performing employees difficult. Makes it harder to negotiate salary, etc. meaning that essentially bands narrow and top performers subsidize everybody else.
Why would job switching be harder?
