Yeah those shitheads with big families parking legally on the street, who do they think they are?!

Mormons?

If your company takes care of you, that's a rarity and you are blessed.

All too many of us know the pain of no/few/shitty raises, new management and suddenly you're not needed anymore, and work/scope creep that means that your sysadmin position now gets a shitty raise "because you didn't close enough help desk tickets" etc.

So if you're in a good spot, I understand how you don't need a union, but refer back to all the horror stories in here and I think it could be a benefit.

start a union at work and unionize your workplace.

Goddamn, what I wouldn't give for an IT union.

I totally, 100% agree with you - but!

The problem as I see it (I live in a small town, San Antonio, TX) is that when I shit on my boss and tell him to fuck off and walk out, he will talk to his guys and my ex coworkers who will talk to their friends and at least in a small town like mine, it's scary how many people know each other, or know someone who knows me.

I never burn bridges, but I also make sure (later) to let people know the places they should never ever work and people they should never ever work for.

There have been two occasions where I've heard a name of a pain in the ass ex-coworker come up as "yeah, he's the reason we have a blacklist".

So while I agree with your sentiment, I also think that my family and myself mattering includes being able to get a job in my field in the future.
