My union had a pension system that basically didn't matter for me because it wasn't feasible to continue living in NYC on what the salaries capped at while it vested. They did have inflation+% annual raises though. Been missing that a lot recently.

Vox Nihili posted:yep, getting good deals for the new guys and part-timers is absolutely key core members are broadly supportive of ending tiered systems too, fwiw. It destroys retention and makes their jobs harder for longer as no new talent sticks around due to the godawful split wages. I think everybody hates tiers except for owners.

the support was probably there when they were introduced bc they were usually enforced alongside mass deindustrialization and the offshoring of manufacturing over the last 40 years. But it turns out the system fuggin sucks. Who would have known!

Maybe if they hadn't turned it into a fight for like the existence of the job by telling people they'll edit an AI script for minimum wage and like it there wouldn't have been so much pushback but the writers appear to be dug the gently caress in Still have no idea if the studios actually think the AI thing would loving work or if it's just a negotiating tactic to have like an artifical thing to concede later on that never would have worked anyway

our work is required to transition to all electric fleet and we have a series of Bolts and they’re ridiculously fun to drive (cars suck etc etc). sucks for construction projects here or off-roading on fire trails but otherwise fantastic for roads. it would be so loving stupid for GM to pivot to nothing but electric Silverado freedom rancher 9/11 edition trucks because small sedans are still in high demand and the best use of batteries

The fact that they're bringing back a non-premium-consumer-level EV is, frankly, kind of shocking. I wonder what their rationale is.

It is both a crisis to punish labor and a speculative bubble to siphon money from. Actually producing something of value would let the grift continue a little longer but the parasites running the show aren’t interested in the long term.
