It’s really unfortunate how naive we (us in tech labor) 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.
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.
