I think there's "professionalism" as in "behavior that signals to employers that you're safe to hire because you are a good little drone" and then there's "professionalism" as in "does good work and treats people right".

I don't think there's a reason to push the former, as it's got plenty of natural support from the unequal relationship between employers and employees. We may not be able to throw off the shackles entirely, but let's not shame those who rattle them a bit, you know?

Thank you, this thread really hinges on what basket of behaviors and ethics are considered “professional” in the first place.
