Could involve quitting a job with flair, walking out of an interview, or working around a dumbass boss/coworker during a Zoom meeting.

If anything just make it a "general work stories" thread

    I worked in IT for a state government a few jobs back. It ruled because it was union.

    Nice. I work in IT for a state government, and we are forbidden by law from joining a union.

        The usual reason here in my state has to do with the position having access to privileged information which would compromise bargaining. In other words, it's too hard for the employer to lie to you.

        That said in most states IT can often still affiliate, just not with the same union as everyone else at the worksite. There's usually some sort of appeals process that depends on the state board of labor.

          Maybe they shouldn't try to fuck you over then. Sounds like a great way to ensure things get leaked anyway
