“My morale for this job is gone …"
Folks should unionize, and then use that collective power to tell “back to office” mandates to fuck themselves to death.
Shut down AWS and let the world burn until management capitulates. It’s not like the soulless husks calling the shots can run the show themselves.
i would love to see more unions in IT. is there somewhere i can read up on current IT unions or organizations that are attempting?
I’m not as informed as I’d like to be. Rock paper shotgun did an article recently about unions in video game development, which was interesting and might be somewhat broadly applicable: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/from-blizzard-to-bethesda-game-unions-are-sweeping-the-industry-heres-how-the-cwa-helps-make-them-happen
If there were an easy way to do this, almost totally anonymously, so that Amazon cannot shut it down, and so someone can see that it is a legit attempt to unionize, I would love to see it.
There’s plenty of “talk” about it, but there’s a lot of fear of retaliation in doing so.
I understand fear of retaliation. No one wants to lose their home or go hungry, and it’s not like landlords will give a shit. But I also want management to fear the workers rolling up to their house and hour before dawn. They only have power because we let them.
Well, at least until they have fully autonomous kill drones or something.
But it’s easy to say that from my comfortable home. It’s another to actually get in a truck with your friends and actually shoot a VP in the back of the head.
