    Interesting thread. One question I have is why staff revolts are becoming more common (or seem like they are). Are we just hearing more about them because of social media?https://twitter.com/laurenwilliams/status/1395425536999055360 …

    This Apple thing (and the Teen Vogue thing before it) is not a cancellation issue; it's about management being so deeply disconnected from workers that they can't anticipate this stuff. This is a serious crisis of executive management.

        That makes sense. Can we measure it?

        More labor organizing and strikes generally will mean more media labor organizing and strikes

        I think the worker class feels that the executive class can't tell between great executives and screwup/asshole executives when it's blatantly obvious to everyone else and a year of the pandemic has lowered the tolerance of having to deal with bad bosses.

        It's notable in almost all cases of workplace "revolt" it isn't (usually) just about "cancelling" someone. They are also usually pretty obviously and demonstrably bad managers and executive strategists.

        Social media has made hierarchies look ridiculous and seem more and more untenable.

        That’s how moral panic works. Human beings are skittish selfish animals. Once it starts, leaders fear becoming targets of the panic themselves so will burn any witches accused to avoid potentially getting accused of harboring witchcraft (or communism or whatever).

        A significant part is also the income inequality and the increasingly limited agency that employees have. When people feel that they have little to lose, why not reclaim their agency?

        And personally I made so many changes during 2020, because I now see low wage work as a danger to my family.
