Knowledge workers need to get out of this ego-driven complex that they don’t need unions. You’re working class and chattle, believing anything else is delusional and pathetic.
For real, we need unions. It's a slow boil now, knowledge workers are the next factory workers.
Soon to be displaced as corporations gobble up another chunk of worker wealth.
I wonder if the decline in morale correlates with the decline in morals.
I feel like I've been having whiplash at work every other month. One month we'll get word of record profits or cheery news about how we're beating performance targets or whatever, but then the next month we'll hear about some new internal cost-cutting initiative that feels like we're having to tighten our belts with a hint of desperation to it. I never actually know how we're doing because it feels like I'm getting two conflicting impressions.
It's all for the profit margin that quarter
This is the best year we've ever had, also there won't be any bonuses anymore.

Company: "Oh, we can't afford THAT."
Best we can do is a pizza party
We don't even get those any more.
Best we can do is mass layoffs and a strictly enforced return-to-office policy
I wish you were joking.
"Due to current market conditions . . ." is the line my group has been given. There never seems to be market conditions where the workers get to win.
Market conditions for me but not for thee...
"here's a layoff"
