That’s only if you know how roundabout works. If they don’t it’s infinitely hard for them :)

The correct wording for this is “taking racing line” and “failing to turn before the car behind them catches up”. I take the racing line all the time, but I turn quickly so car behind me continues uninterrupted.

It does bother. Even when I have smudge, I wait until I slow down before I use wipers because at high speed most of that water would go onto cars behind you and smudge will become a huge smudge. Idiots always bother me.

Patrol... patrol the lanes. Patrol others... turn on high beams to show you you are wrong. Making sure people are driving exactly on the limit in all lanes.

Are you related to IT in any way? I am just wondering what’s your background to take such a strong stance on what should happen in the industry.

You don’t negotiate with an agent, you pay an agent. They smile to you and negotiate for you... if you can buy brad in a store, that should be no different to buy agent’s services.

In IT unionized folks make less. Again, this is FUCKING IT people. I get it, “save the kids” movement is strong, but in IT we don’t need unions. Plenty of work - go leave and find a new job. If you can’t, you are not a good developer, go back to school or learn at home.

I worked in unionized companies. I know my shit, good try though. “Still” is not the right word when it comes to ones career. Take best you can, and no-union is best for most in IT.

1. If they are treated like shit it’s in their full power to quit and find a new job, ESPECIALLY as game developers. The ones who whine are not very good game developers or developers in general. Good ones don’t whine, just laugh and leave.

I agree, but let’s not take 1% of workers and unionize EVERYONE just so that 1% of people was better off. People with inability to negotiate can hire a job agent. If you are good, agent will negotiate for you for some fee. No need to put a parasite on the entire industry when this can be solved with a recruiter.

Thank you! At least someone understands that union is like a Soviet Union - everyone is equal, but it also means there is no reason to even try to improve.

And what about kids? Puppies? How is your statement relevant to IT? WHO WORKS IN IT WITHOUT NEGOTIABLE TERMS?!

“Range Rover that had ample service history, no known issues and just 170,000 miles on the odometer” 

Like I said, good you didn’t do it the first time... you bring a valuable insight to the conversation, keep it flowing.

Eh, ok. You stick to unions, I will stick to my reality and we go in peace. I worked in unionized IT companies(luckily not for long) and I worked in other companies. I am good, thanks!

You mentioned nothing about a creature dying in front of you. You are either 50+ years old and made piece with reality or a young cold hearted jerk :D

“When I grow up, I want to become a Highlander”

I don’t think and don’t pretend. I literally take my stuff and go take a new job on. I’ve done it many times, and not because I was abused at work, just because they pay more, or because I like team more, or because I want to travel and work remotely. I also appreciate our industry for the fact that changing jobs…

Yep, good that you didn’t write anything to me directly. That time when you can’t say anything towards an argument but to desperately insult.

I don’t know where in IT industry you work, but unlike many trades, IT is so full of opportunities and if you need to pay a union to bargain for you I just feel sad. I am a web developer. I can work for any company in the world remotely if I choose to do so. What in IT are you doing that confines you to small town and…
