I've never understood the position that people shouldn't unionize because they're rich. You know who's even richer? Execs. Tech companies have monopsony hiring power and use it to capture most of the value of labor, enriching execs with mid 8 figure to mid 11 figure net worth.https://twitter.com/codinghorror/status/1172279395035308032 …

to me, it means companies are systematically failing to listen to their employees (or even follow existing federal laws related to discrimination, etc), and everyone loses in that scenario. Do you feel this was the case at Microsoft, and Google, both places where you worked?

I don't think that everyone is losing (execs certainly aren't). I believe that the incentives of execs are poorly aligned with what's good for employees. I wouldn't call this "not listening", but maybe we're saying the same thing in different words, hard to tell with 280 limit.
