I am an investor in the companies I work for. Everyone in the union is an investor. The voting model and incentives have gotten increasingly more abusive and fucked up. Shit like the loans against equity, debt rounds, and so many other things are there to fuck over the people actually doing the work, to benefit the people laundering money. I've yet to see a private company fulfill even their basic stockholder duties to their shareholders who are also employees.

Go dig up uber's sheets, or look into what happened at zynga, or hundreds of other places.

wtf, you can't be that stupid.

They were and are fixing salaries. They were explicitly turning away people in addition to failing to go after people they should have.

Executive salaries are going up, particularly in exits, IC salaries aren't.

It wasn't and isn't the outlier, it is openly talked about.

Corporations have no natural rights, those are for individuals.

If you ever work on hardware, please talk to people who actually know what they are doing.

Anyone with a six week internship worth of experience would have tested this in an environment chamber.

It’s bad enough when idiot “first principals” MEs and EEs toss this stuff over and I have to deal with it, but it doesn’t fucking reach customers with faults that bad.

It’s also a private company, they are literally investors in it, with the least liquidity and information. Are you anti stock option / RSU or something?

One side is already collectively bargaining, seems fucked to have a monopoly on that.

Especially when VCs publish books bragging about violating labor laws and colluding.
