>Is this just a generational thing?

No, it's a class thing. Among unionised labour work has always been a political battlefield. What's new is that you know have a politically activist group of people within upper middle class white collar jobs who, traditionally were conservative in temperament because they were materially well off.

Professionals whose values do not align with their management have figured out that they actually have influence, and the top 1-10% have noticed that they can actually press the top 0.1% if they want to.



100% this. Basecamp leadership just discovered that "stakeholder capitalism" isn't a choice made by management, it's something that happens to management because stakeholders are getting more empowered and organized.


Now that is one of the more interesting perspectives on the situation that I've read, out of all these threads. Thanks.


upper middle class people unite !
