Always be in a union.
I wish managers could be in a union. But after a certain point you’re expected to side with the company no matter what.
That's not true, you can still join a union, and you can always make a choice to disagree with your overlords
I'll have to tell my manager that he's going to have to leave the Tech Workers Union, damn, and he was enjoying being a member so much.
How high of a level though and where at? pushing upper level, near executive.
It's possible to be in a union at any level as long as you don't own the company
My manager though is only Team Level in a big fucking hydra, he's got like 8 levels above that
Edit: well, there's some unions that even let owners in, but less of them, and usually limit it to "only if the company has less than 500 employees and earns less than AMOUNT" (I dunno the number)
That's what you signed up for tho.
Not really. I became a manager to help make things better for the front line workers. Problem is there is only so much within my sphere of control until I get up high enough. More than once I’ve been scolded for siding with the workers but that hasn’t changed who I am.
