      4. Growth vs. reliable engineering and security. Lots of engineers feel unrealistic growth demands put users at risk, leave devs culpable.

      5. Working conditions, guaranteed/recoupable vacation, on-call expectations, work-from-home, open office.

      6. Social impact of work. Lots of good people doing work in e.g. adtech with little say in future abuse of data they collect.

      7. Exclusivity and credentialism, the trend in our industry away from merit and towards e.g. male CMU graduates. Also: ageism! Huge!

      8. The nonexistent career ladder most companies have for hard-tech people; expectation of “up into management or out”.

      Long story short: I do not accept the argument that tech is so well paid it can’t organize. Tech is so well paid IT SHOULD ORGANIZE.

      re: point 7, likely tech "organizing" will eventually take the form of professional orgs that enforce rather than oppose credentialism

      similar to doctors/lawyers/etc. it is in the interest of the group to restrict entry so as to shift the supply curve in their favor

      could be argued this is a good thing for the public, would bring baseline ethical standards, make the field much more risk-averse

      political pressure mounts, ppl swept up in zeal to "raise standards" to prevent "another tragedy like this from ever happening again"

          as a hs dropout who got into the field thanks to anti-credentialism I don't relish that the door will eventually shut to the next gen

          I finished HS but that’s as far as I get, and I have the same concerns about credentialism.

          Agreed on many, but doesn't employee equity put labor on the same side of table as capital (re growth at least)

          Maybe. But I’m not so motivated by labor vs capital, so much as organized vs. undisciplied.

          Yes but means interests are often aligned (e.g. growth)

          I don’t think growth vs. profitability is something employees can effectively organize to change, but happy to be wrong.

          The rest of my list though, I think, doesn’t involve fundamental changes to the economics of startup businesses themselves.
