anyone notice this pattern happens repeatedly.

millennials and zoomer can't handle corporate work crunch conditions

they decide to unionize

corporation gives a middle finger

"scandal" erupts with diversity hires and nose ring cow "women" crying to "gaming journalist" outfits about a "frat boy" environment

corporation eventually bends the knee and bends over while they get fucked over by 41%ers

corporation goes to complete shit afterwards

A union is a parasitic entity grafted onto an existing corporation, this is how it's always been. Aside from like the great depression, the majority of unions were because of grifters wanting to leech instead of raise working conditions.

In this case Nintendo has also been giving more attention to "diversity" so they are pushing for even more money and power.

I do think unions COULD be a fix if a corporation becomes huge and a monopoly, like Walmart or Amazon or whatever, but trying to unionize in a white collar industry like game development when there's literally hundreds of thousands of people willing to line up and take your place is such a stupid fucking idea. The churn is high, but it also keeps faces fresh.

With unionization this means shit workers will forever be stuck in a corporation and the corporation would not be able to get rid of them.

The only thing that really affects monopolies is when the government steps in and breaks them apart, and they only do that when they want to gain greater influence in that area. The government is a monopoly on deadly force after all.

Yeah, it's a catch-22 because governments that break monopolies apart are usually the ones RESPONSIBLE for creating it (hi Section 230).

The problem with unions are those that typically organize a union are almost never actually interested in working for the employees to get a more fair deal. They then also end up protecting bad employees making firing an awful employee difficult and expensive. Making a union a leach both on the employees and the company that employees them. If you could guarantee that union leadership was ran by moral people chances are things would be fine, strikes would be rare, and pay/ working conditions would be fair. Unfortunately you can’t guarantee it and it also can create an attitude of “my union rep will get me out of doing something” despite it being in the contract.

A skilled employees best option if they aren’t happy with their pay or working condition is to bring it up with management, and if nothing is done do the difficult task of finding new employment.

Exactly, unions are essentially miniature forms of government where the fuckers who run the unions are always taking their "share" off the top. They only do things to "benefit" the union if it gets THEM more money. Unions have no check on their power, no alternative branch that can audit them when they become big and lazy like corporations and governments do. Unions just add more fucking red tape to an already shitty situation.

Like if the union was organized exclusively by people working at the place unionizing it has a better chance of not being corrupt in the short term. But eventually someone is going to win a rep election based on popularity and be one of the most corrupt people there. It’s something that should be dissolved frequently. But if the company is so badly managed that the only way for fair wages and safe working conditions can be guaranteed by the entire staff threatening to quit there are some serious other problems

A union only works in a merchant prince feudal guild environment.

"I need a teacher, so I'll go over to the teacher's union, and get one". Not "I hire a teacher, and then they become part of one of a half-dozen unions". The union trains, teaches, apprentices, and organizes everything. A proper guild. A guild that, should it stop producing quality product (workers), is cast to the wayside.

Unions are only necessary in a monopolized environment. If that happens, there have already been multiple failures.

That's why I took the controversial stance of the entire Blizzard fiasco being fake too, despite people who should know better believing it completely because it fed into their preconceived biases against them.

They absolutely still deserved the reckoning they got, but let's not pretend like most of that shit actually happened.

I dunno, most of the sentiment I saw around that was, "If true, don't care. Fuck Blizzard anyway. Let them reap the whirlwind."

Sexual harassment laws are a bunch of unconstitutional bullshit originally made by leftwing activist courts to justify violating men's free speach in the work place. And fuck that RINO George HW Bush for making this unconstitutional bullshit into actual law. And fuck every RINO who supports these bullshit laws, and especially those RINOs who helped expanded these bullshit laws.

RINO

They're not "in name only", they are simply the distillation of the Republican party. You have no political representation and the sooner you accept that the sooner you can start scheming on how to correct that.

They'll take over corporations any way they can. This is just one of the tactics they use. Not women specifically, but leftists.

you know, the autistic matter in which TheImp says the wamen are the problem - does he know that he's autistically screeching at like, one part of a HYUUUGE problem that actually involves another group of "they"? The wamen he has issues with are just being manipulated by a bigger "they", whether it's (((THEM))) or globohomo types like Klauss Schwab, it's like he's fallen so far down the rabbit hole he's not able to look at it from a 30,000 ft perspective like we do.

I've pointed out women not being the root of the problem on several occasions to Impy. He never replies when I do.

It doesn't matter how firmly or succinctly I point this out, he will ignore me and continue posting about women as if I'd said nothing.

If anything, his behavior is reminiscent the behavior Hitler mentioned in Mein Kampf: namely that no matter how thoroughly you defeated a Jew in debate one night, that very Jew would be back to making the initial argument the next day.

It's like trying to nail Jello to a wall.

The Imp’s pet ideology is dysgenic. “Don’t find a woman, don’t have kids, don’t make family the center of your life.” Follow that shit and you’re resigning both your genetic line and your ideology to the dustbin.

Women are walking shit tests, but they are also 100% necessary. You know who aren’t necessary? Hostile minority tribes who undermine and subvert your institutions and societies.

He's never once responded to the numerous, numerous, questions of "then what is your solution?"

He doesn't have one. He just wants to be mad, and wants to hurt the bad people who he thinks are hurting others. Its a child's idea of justice.

Ah, lucky you. He never answers me when I asked. Though, granted, I usually ask a far more direct version instead of the vague overall.

Imp is correct that women are part of the problem, but it's not because they're simply wamen, it's because society has been manipulated to put them on a pedestal, and that manipulation IS partly due to our lizard brains wanting to protect them, but also because some of these idiots have been manipulated to think protecting them is some sort of virtuous thing.

It is a problem the left has, but the tradcon right ALSO has this problem - i.e. the whole "I wouldn't hit a wamen" shit - dumbass if a wamen is threatening you with a gun are you gonna just sit there and let her shoot you?

Yeah, and the dude screaming about the sky falling all day, every day, is "right" when it finally rains.

We all know women's entitlement and emotional fragility is one of the major weapons progs have in their arsenal. That's been clear to non-pozzed gamers since before GG was even a thing. This forum wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for that.

Whatever bullshit rule got him banned again, he should probably be gone just for his own sake. The dude is clearly not okay, and he's not getting better. He needs to minimize the amount of time he spends even thinking about women, and this isn't the place for that. It was cute for a while to treat the guy like a mascot, since he seemed to be a monster from a feminist's worst nightmare come to life, but at some point he just needs to be let go. Nobody is better off for letting him rile himself up here.

Why would someone stay at the same spot for 6 years at the same salary? She definitely didn't ask for a wage increase at any point or for a promotion.

Nintendo is immune to being canceled. It is going to give absolutely 0 fucks about the twitter mob, and all the faggots and basic white women who play nintendo games are going to keep playing them.
