I think a better takeaway is this… Hiring runs on nepotism. It always has, but for a while you could go through an application process and land a decent job
You have to work your social connections to find a job these days. People are just way more willing to put in the energy to evaluate you if they have someone vouching for you
Especially now with remote work and AI… The screening process has devolved into nonsense. If they’re not pulling your resume out of the stack, it’s very likely no human is looking at it
Not gonna dox myself, but I’m not in tech, but I am an engineer. No reason they shouldn’t be more widespread, beyond decades of anti-union rhetoric and propaganda.
I’d very much like to see the Accountable Capitalism act hit these companies. Force them to rethink their employee-hating positions when they need their votes to win over the board.

I know it’s obviously much easier said than done, but this is exactly why unions exist.
I have a union position, and none of what you just said applies to me. It’s wonderful.

It’s because those at the top have deluded you into thinking you have it better than them, and you don’t “need” it.
You have far more in common with the during mopping the floors than you do with those at the top.

All it takes is organizing. It’s obviously easier said than done, but it’s absolutely possible
