        This is likely the case with GM given that their manufacturing is unionised. Engineers just got a demo what that can do for them last year. They aren’t getting the raise assembly workers got.

        Silicon valley is full of H1B visa holders who can’t speak up politically or risk deportation.

          This makes a lot of sense. I can definitely see those companies at the bottom having way more H1B workers than the ones st the top.

            And a person with an H1B can only change to a job within a certain radius of their current job and if it’s beyond that radius they need to report it to the govt.

      Idk about intuit but GM is probably a result of their union coworkers getting awesome Bennie’s.

      The union autoworkers get good benefits like overtime pay for work over 8 hours. Union working come in at 6, then take a fixed breakfast and lunch break and then leave at 2:30. Anything over that will need approval and overtime pay. I’m surprised Ford and Stellantis isn’t alongside with GM.

      10% of people are insane so they even got significant chunks of the crazy vote for GM and Intuit
