And that was true back then, which was essentially the reason why no one bothered to organize. Tech jobs were one of the highest paying jobs and it was easy to jump ship. Now with companies (stupidly) thinking AI can replace everyone, suddenly tech jobs are no longer as secure as before. And maybe that will finally start pushing workers to organize.
I remember an old coworker said he was anti union. “I’d just find another job if I didn’t like the one I had”, he said. Bold claim.

Right? But it was so … Short sighted, to think it would last forever and you’d never need to organize.
For me it was true all my life.
That’s the point where Usa (and probably China) are different than the other parts of the world.
