People ooh and ahh over tech companies coming to town but the very harsh reality is most people who live in those places will never work even indirectly for the tech company. All the tech company does is bring unappreciative techbros to their town who jack up the rents to unaffordable levels and people's cost of living sky high. Literally putting people on streets. Prosperity for some out of towners, at the expense of the rest of the city.

colby's shitpost mannerisms on this fucking site have utterly fucked up my brain and i unconsciously write things like "pee butt fart lol" into work slack before erasing it

My union posting is getting way too much attention it's actually making me anxious lol

@shaderphantom Of note: old unions in, say, coal towns, led to far better pay for their workers. Like, immensely so. Ridiculously so, in some cases. 50-80k in modern currency? They'd laugh at it.

not to mention how the _fuck_ are you supposed to unionize a company with 2000, 4000, 10000?? employees?? in multiple regions???

maybe this is another reason tech companies are hiring so many fucking grunts. it makes union organizing that much harder.

why would any software dev care? they're getting paid better* than most industries right now. there's plenty of jobs.

*pay in this industry has absolutely FUCKING nothing to do with your merit and almost entirely with how much ass you kiss

today i had my first real thought of forming a union and the implications that has for this city alone.

it brings me incredible sadness to know how hard it would be to convince grunt workers in this industry that a union is a good idea.
