Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Which one of you morons suggested unionizing the tech industry?

Are you serious???

Unionize? So things can run like the auto industry like it is for software?

Bob is paid 5 cents for each bit he flips.

Tom is paid 10 cents for each byte he flips

Jerry is paid 20 cents for each byte he takes a two's complement of.

Mark is paid 50cents for each malloc and free he uses

David is paid 60 cents each bug he finds

Dan is paid 80 cents each bug he fixes.

No one can flip the MSB of a 64 bit integer unless they have are unionized and have specialised to flip the MSB of a 64 bit integer.

Floating point calculations are only allowed on Tuesdays and Thursday, and any floating point calculation done after 5pm is 1.5x overtime on the clock....

Uh, no thank you.

I work at a unionised tech company. The union(s) that my company recognises act like professional adults, so none of the stuff you've made up applies to them or the way that they operate.

I'm salaried, not paid by the word. No "specialism" BS. I moved my own monitor. No paid overtime, but typically the workload is such that overtime isn't required anyway

I do get a decent compensation package and, unlike my former non-unionised employer, they don't hold sudden and unequal layoffs every quarter.

I know when I was an intern at Motorola, I wasn't allowed to move a computer monitor form one office to another that was 5 feet away.

I needed to call the in house moving company, otherwise I was told I was breaking "union rules".

That was all I needed to know about unions.

Apparently the OP has no idea how unions work.

In Bay Area, getting fired in 6 months is nearly impossible for a full time engineer.. If that happened, you wouldn't have to pay back any sign on bonus.

But you wouldn't know anything by sign on bonus, with that drive thru career of yours, @oos....

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I guess that's why you want unions.
