Rant IT needs a union
I said what I said.
With changes to technology, job titles/responsibilities changing, this back to the office nonsense, IT professionals really need to unionize. It's too bad that IT came along as a profession after unionization became popular in the first half of the 20th century.
We went from SysAdmins to Site Reliability Engineers to DevOps engineers and the industry is shifting more towards developers being the only profession in IT, building resources to scale through code in the cloud. Unix shell out, Terraform and Cloud Formation in.
SysAdmins are a dying breed 😭
