    “I’ve spent my time helping this company extract data from everyone else why are they coming for mine?”

    It’s so exhausting how stupid people are.

      Right? I’m laughing how they expect me to sympathize with them.

            Are you seriously comparing software engineers to members of a state sponsored terrorist police?

    If they aren’t signing union cards, they aren’t revolting.

      I don’t like this take, because labor unionization should be seen as a completely normal activity for workers and not a form of revolution.

          He’s not saying that you shouldn’t unionize

          He’s just saying that while it’s good, it’s not really a revolution so ideally you shouldn’t stop there

      They’re revolting either way, it’s just a question of definition.

    I worked in IT 10 years ago, everything was tracked, idk what the big deal is, company owned equipment with company owned security/audit logging software, quite standard. Only difference is they will try to train AI with really wasteful keystroke/mouse tracking now??? no big deal.
