good. fvck unions.
There was a time when they were beneficial to the U.S., but no longer. We'll all be better off when they are done away with altogether.
This has been my position most of my life. Until the last few years, during which I have been employed as a salaried IT worker is a datacenter that treats me like trash. The overtime is really bad - I don't get enough time off to take the necessary steps to battle the stress that comes with the job. This was made possible by the new exemption to the wage hour law signed by GWB a few years back. A union came through not long ago trying to organize and I found that I wasn't allowed to join it because I deal with 'sensitive' information.
So, as an allegedly highly skilled IT Guy, why not just find a new job where they don't treat you like trash?
Because I live in a place where there's very little opportunity - I've been trying to find a new job for the past year and have had no luck. I can't move at present because I own a house and houses aren't selling in this market.
