Google needs to fire way more people tbh. Too many snowflakes just waiting to be offended.

Fuck unions... I don’t want to ever be in one. Ever!

Yea fuck them for protecting workers rights and conditions. I always find it funny when the low guy in the totem pole is vehemently against unionization. It makes sense for the people up the ladder to be, not the bottom level ic

It’s my choice. I don’t need or want your union’s “help”. I don’t need some bureaucrat dictating to me my job terms and negotiating on my behalf I’m doing just fine.

Unions work the best when you ruin a day for huge amounts of people. Case study - BART. Have some crazy six figure salaries all around, shady overtime distribution rules and all of it at taxpayers dime.

Damn thanks for shedding light on that.

Why were they stalking people?

Unions are in theory good but in practice horrible. That's why shit is so expensive and takes so long to get things done wherever unions are prevalent. Unions are there to protect people who don't have marketable skills or can't make it on their own. It's a crutch people use because they don't want to get good enough to be by themselves. And I feel for Google here. We had so many of these people at Square.

Maybe tech can make unions better...

By that logic, maybe we can do better with communism.

Microsoft onesnzeros OP Nov 27, 2019

Mmm maybe we could make communism better... not saying it’s better than capitalism

Union for tech workers? Fucking stupid

If you’re pro union, tread with care around blind. If there’s ever a data leak, in corporate America this would get you fired way faster than the occasional racism would.

They were tracking internal people and sharing a bunch of internal stuff externally to reporters.

That's how they do, abusive, slimy, exploitative, bullying, underhanded, manipulative. That's union folk.
