Google attempted to shut down a unionization meeting in Zurich
I'm a SWE at Google, and as much as I love unions, I'm not sure it makes sense for the software industry.Further, the larger tech companies already have a concept of "levels" to ensure some sense of pay equality, we already get better benefits than you can get anywhere else in the states.Realistically, what more will unions accomplish at a place like Google?I'd love 6 weeks of paid vacation as much as anyone. I don't see us getting that. I'd love to make twice as much money. I don't see that happening. I'd love for promotions and hiring to be more fair / better, but I don't see how this accomplishes that (nor do I know anyway to improve it).
