Voicing dissatisfying as part of a mass popular outrage is a good way to get rules changed. Leaving a company also achieves that, but is a little more drastic.

I keep coming back and reading your idea about "mass popular outrage".

I wonder if that pattern has almost been commodotized, because of social media, to the point where it has less impact than a few years earlier.

I've long-considered that social media outrage, even something tech-specific like blog articles getting passed around on HN, is sadly sometimes the most effective form of customer service on these huge platforms that have mostly automated support:

Oh, hey, over a decade ago:

As far as it being commoditized, I think it might work a little differently in examples like the OP where the outraged people is the workforce itself. It's a more focused audience.
