ive brought up unions and stuff to people i like and theyre all like 'the pay is alright and its important work what do we need a union for!' and its just...
sigh
ive explained it all everyone is just really special
i work with other high payed people too and the best i've managed to do is get them to join a secret chat where we talk about what we hate in the company but most were not interested in organizing and basically felt they had a sweet thing going so why try to change it. i work for a nonprofit now and its a similar dynamic. all the frustrated energy that could get directed at capitalism gets discipated into inter-departmental little catfights and passive-agressive nonsense. i've legit given up on trying to organize at the workplace because of that but hopefully the rising labor unrest hits the IT sector at some point.
