Damn, wtf are intuit and GM doing to their engineers?
Maybe they just forgot to brainwash them with anti-union propaganda
Edit: cause some jackass is implying I'm a bot - I should have joined a union and a union would've protected me from the mass layoff in '23 but that doesn't change that while there I never thought about needing a union because it was such a nice place otherwise.
As someone who previously worked at Google - they didn't have any antiunion propaganda.
They just, like, paid well, had top tier benefits, great perks, and had a good work life balance.
From the article posted by 100_kg_90_de_belin.
Google seemingly does care about their internal image, so they will only make their actions obvious when they fire you for bogus reasons after wanting to join a union.
Quite nasty in that they give you no hints about how extreme their efforts on this are. They monitor internal employee tools like they are cosplaying the NSA, but you wouldn't know before you are fired out of the blue.
