Welp, laid off from HashiCorp today. Wish I got more of a chance to celebrate what I’ve been able to accomplish over the past year to help advance Kubernetes Gateway API and extending it into service mesh with GAMMA. Looking for a new role now, hopefully involving open source!

Claiming that a lobbyist from Uber & CEOs from other companies are workers in order to rig a union election is totally absurd & disgusting. I strongly support Compass Workers and call on Compass Coffee DC to respect the rights of their workers to organize & end its union busting.

Workers unionizing at Compass Coffee say management has hired over 120 people since they went public with their union drive including… wait for it… Cullen Gilchrist of Union Kitchen (!) Gilchrist is very anti-union and busted his own company’s union: dcist.com/topic/union-ki…

I stopped by @thewydown on H Street this morning to show my support for the workers & what has always been a great place to grab a coffee or meet up with neighbors. If the owners have closed both shops to avoid a vote by workers to organize, it’s the wrong move plain & simple.

After three long weeks, we have an election date! We will be voting by mail-in ballot, and the votes will be counted June 10th. Thanks again to all of you for supporting our cause!

First off, funny how there's no mention of those layoffs, huh? Because I'd love to know how you "build trust" and "deepen engagement" when you've cut your reporting staff to the bone, and done so in an unnecessarily cruel and manipulative way.

I'll be attending this, looking forward to meeting other tech workers and learning more about their experience organizing in this industry!

On October 7th we're hosting our very first conference focused on organizing the tech industry! Join hundreds of seasoned tech worker organizers at this event to learn from rank and filers building power on the ground. labornotes.org/techcon2023

This article is about a group of workers with almost literally zero labor rights, and the land owners who just realized there’s one right they forgot to withold from them (bc they never thought they’d be able to unionize given their lack of rights) timesunion.com/state/article/…

As Hollywood executives claim they can't afford to pay actors better wages, they're also spending lavishly on AI, with Netflix offering $900,000 for a single AI product manager. 87% of actors earn under $26k — the cutoff to qualify for health insurance theintercept.com/2023/07/25/str…

These Hollywood remakes are killing me man. Dude goes to New Mexico and meets another guy named Heisenberg who inspires him to do chemistry in the middle of the desert. Kills a bunch of ppl and bemoans his actions while secretly admiring himself. So original

UPS tech workers are being lined up by management as potential strikebreakers in the warehouses. Don’t fall for it! Un-unionized workers have the legal right to respect picket lines without fear of reprisal. Reach out to us or @organizeworkers for help! reddit.com/r/cscareerques…


It's such a disgraceful waste that a basic government function like identity verification is contracted out by so many agencies to @IDme as the only option rather than being a core service implemented by @USDS.
