dell staff are winning the prisoner's dilemma. great role models. Hold the line. They didn't even organize anything coherent at least as far as the article goes into. The bar isn't that high.

There's an old labor slogan I think about in times like this: "If it bleeds, we can kill it"

The thing about "you won't be promoted :'(" as a threat is that for it to work you have to trust management to recognize good-faith effort... and lol management isn't demonstrating that

Like we all know the way tech (and most other industries) work now, right? The ways of career advancement are:

  • A bus factor gets bussed and you're the nearest bystander
  • You become overqualified and underpaid and find a new, better job

Nobody expects to actually have a career track.

in reply to @bruno's post:

I worked for Dell for six years and can count the number of promotions I saw on one hand. Mostly middle managers becoming slightly-higher-middle-managers.

My boss got a letter from a client saying they were choosing Dell for a nine-figure contract because of the service I provided. When I asked for a promotion or raise about it, he told me it wasn't happening, we might be downsizing, and I should probably start looking for work elsewhere.

To their credit, they gave me tuition reimbursement while I got my bachelor's after that.
