Stop working for tech companies that don't give a shit about you. You want a business that cares about you... start one.

Nah, unionize and report to regulators as much as possible. Can't succeed in the worker version of the Kobayashi Maru by "starting your own Amazon." Seek leverage and engage it to maximum force.

Companies will never give a shit about you, put them in a box like you would a shark. Don't play by existing broken rules, you will just suffer.

Why don’t we fix the union we already have - our government?

My biggest gripe with unions is they’re the political version of “let’s make a new standard”. Yeah it works - for a time - but ultimately just adds complexity to temporarily address a symptom of the problem.

Useless advice for anyone who lacks the capital access to start a business, which is most people.

Just ask daddy for a big loan, and you too can start an amazon!

funny comment on forum run by a company that specifically funds startups

Are you seriously suggesting somebody working a poverty-level wage in an Amazon dystopia in Poland just... quit and start a business?

Why is that so far fetched? There are loads of private small businesses at the lower end of the economic spectrum.

That's pretty much all tech companies besides some young startups.

"leave instead of trying to change things" - yeah how about no? I applaud everyone brave enough to stand up for their rights like this.
