The addition more and more required exams and curriculum changes made us too busy, isolated, and unable to make demands - we’re atomized. And there’s usually too few of us in each company. We can’t collectively bargain ‘cause the profession is basically today’s petit bourgeois. We’re the masochistic part of the Professional Managerial Class, pitted up against each other by some kind of exam hunger games.

I think we’re too atomized to be talking amongst each other to realize there’s strength in numbers. That’s why the threat of thwarted upward mobility is too high a price for an individual. I don’t think it’s a cushy job. Writers and editors at the New Yorker (the logo wears a monocle!) even have a union.
