For what it's worth, ADA has released this press statement [1]:

It sounds to me like criticism of the government.

Wasn't uv bought by an AI company?

The leaders of the union were part of the board, they were running the show along with the real managers. They were also practically impossible to fire. Negotiations with them were a drag. All they know is sucking the blood, err, money out of the company, nothing else. They don't care if it's not profitable and company goes bankrupt (and the government has to save it because it's owned by the state). And of course the leaders get their fair, err, fat share. The workers have lousy or good salaries, but the leaders are rich. They also worked on union staff on company time/money and I think they also had their dedicated space.

Thankfully not everyone drunk the union kool aid. I had a teacher who to my surprise wasn't a union member and couldn't care less about their shit and strikes.

I almost forgot about a law that's still in place that forces every company with more than 50 employees to have some sort of union. It has to organize elections so that the employees can elect a representative. Like wtf, managers have a business to run, not some boys' club or whatever. No one is stopping employees from sending someone to talk to the manager.

I don't remember evolve [2] at all.

> I should have taken medical leave at the first surgery, but my manager was confused about our status – the acquisition was so recent that I didn’t have six months as an Oracle employee, and she said, “You’re not eligible to take paid leave.”

> I couldn’t afford to take unpaid leave, and I was afraid I would lose my job and my health insurance, so I had to power on and pretend I was okay while I was really sick and taking an antibiotic that had horrible side effects.

Sometimes you could even pay with it even if it wasn't officially accepted. Getting some money and then exchanging it yourself into the national currency (so that the accounting books are in order) is better than getting no money. And if it's a fuss, just charge a big extra, there's no need to make a big deal out of it.
