A Union of-by-for White Collar Employees

I am so frustrated by observing how some Indian startup founders have been mistreating employees. This is happening literally in all the startups and corporates.

Many of us invest their precious time and money obtaining degrees, only to become corporate employees.

India won the WC on Saturday night, and since then, I have seen numerous rant posts from people complaining that they missed this moment because they were overworked.

The rate of employee exploitation is alarmingly high, as founders often believe they have alot of options and are driven by their greed for money.

Look at the plight of startups, the top management says they do not have money so they lay off the whole departments without any prior notice. Yet they spend so lavishly on showing investors or on their socials how cool they all are.

We are bloody engineers, not their family bound slaves. Why do we suffer ?

I believe it is high time that we establish a union for employees working in the IT industry. This exploitative culture needs to come to an end.

The ratio of the tormented is higher than the one enjoying luxuries.

Whenever this has happened a revolution is required.

Biggest example is.. Balasaheb Thackeray.

Update: Just yesterday Gaurav Mujal's Unacademy fired 250 people to turn profitable.

This is the same guy who was giving Gyaan on how & why BYJU'S failed a couple of days back.

While they have lavish offices for show & pomp. Couldnt they just avoided this by shifting to lesser lavish office space with lesser rent ?

Its 250 families bro we are taking about.

Oh no poor founders, they have to pay fair salary to their employees.

Should there be a Union of startup and tech employees?

Looks like you can't register a union unless you're employed by a certain company. Self employed people can't register unions.

But it is okay to create unregistered/unofficial unions which don't have any legal right to create contracts ...
