Or he's quite capable of negotiating his own salary.
I personally agree; I don't want a unionized job. It doesn't work for me.
It's a net benefit on average, but I'm an aggressive negotiator, and I out-earn my industry, and I know how to squeeze big bonuses out of my employers. So a union would have a negative effect on my ability to earn.

Please don't cross into personal attack, no matter how strongly you disagree with someone, and please don't extend ideological flamewars (or other flamewars) on HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Fair. I apologize. My point remains though.
If he wants to lock work down to unions, the exact-opposite mirror comment... is to say 'as your peer and equal, I'm not going to work with unionists'.
Individual freedom is severly curtailed by unions.
Bad management is a cost worth paying to have individual freedom, sorry.

After the bean-counters had their say in the release during COVID it's clear that the developers were the one to really pay for this misguided launch; it took years for it to get CP2077 right and luckily the franchise is doing better than ever. hey just announced a live action movie, after having done the expansion and the anime did well and increased the awareness.
All gaming is a meat-grinder, and much like TV.Movies, has tons of applicants for every spot: CDPR has been doing incredibly well since the launch so the layoffs must have been a slap in the face after an immense turn-around. Uninization here is not just justified, but seems entirely sound: they built other franchises and want to focus on that next, from the sound of things, so rather than let greed and short-nearsightedness dictate actions perhaps it is best they had more say in it's internal operation.
