Interesting trend in the comments - technology veterans who went through the dotCom crash have quietly moved to union jobs, and aren't sweating this iteration.

Worth keeping in mind.

This sounds like more wishful thinking than reality. Like what SWE roles are there that are union? I graduated right after the dotcom burst, with a Computer Engineering degree, I now work as a SWE, and I don't know a single one of my peers that has entered a union.

wishful thinking

It's an observation about what other SWEs are reporting elsewhere in this thread.

I'd be extremely careful about believing what you read in the comment sections of lemmy.
