Blizzard’s Diablo team has unionized

Over 450 devs have organized across multiple departments, following similar action from World of Warcraft staffers.

IT managers should be crying out for unions. As a whole they are so misguided and incompetent that an agreement with labor would lift the whole boat.

Broad brush but speaking with 30 years experience in the field... AI will solve absolutely nothing for the practice of software engineering.

@[email protected] This is a much more complex topic than I can address in one post and I would recommend reading https://ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-deserve-a-tech-union/. In brief I’ll just say that the union IS the employees, and while they can be corrupted by bureaucracy like any group of humans it is fundamentally not the same kind of power structure as management. Legislating “optional” unions is a key strategy in how anti-labour movements weaken labour power by intentionally creating classes of workers and divisions.
