      More like getting paid to multitask. In most meetings it’s fine to just say ‘Sorry, I was distracted. Could you repeat the question?’ We attend meetings because we are needed only 5% of the whole time, and working our own stories in the background is a norm.

    There are worse mistakes than accepting senior engineer: there’s management.

        Yup! Basically everyone but employers, and cops, who are class traitors.

        As long as you are a worker — not an employer — you can join the IWW. Members of other unions (except officers), students, retirees, the unemployed, the self-employed, those in informal professions, and those unable to work may also join.
