@ken @beep I think at one point I was reading The Manager's Path and "No Shortcuts" by Jane McAlevey at the same time.

@a_l @beep do managers not deserve unions?(Asking for curiosity's sake: not a manager and don't want to be one)

@dan @a_l Well, one fun fact about American labor law: managers aren’t protected by the NLRA, and aren’t eligible to join unions.

@beep @a_l really? TIL. In the UK I'm _fairly_ sure union membership is open to all levels of employee. e.g. https://members.prospect.org.uk/

@publius @dan @beep @a_l Do you have the power to make hiring and firing decisions of you have to request the budget, get the approval for a (new) position, for publishing job ads and get an ok for sending it the contract?In my experience you quite often don't really have this decision power in a larger org.
