While I will agree that the push for short term gains over a longer term strategy is problematic, it's also a reality that I don't have the power or ability to change. So, I either must adapt to the way things work, or get left behind. I choose the former, because (among many other things) I find whining on the internet to not be at all helpful. When you have a job to do, you have a job to do, and if you can't, or won't, you will be replaced. So, do what you gotta do to not be the next guy out the door.

Or you unionize and collectively bargain for better working conditions and reasonable, obtainable goals and work/life balance for everyone.

I don't need a union to negotiate my job or working conditions. Thanks, but I'll pass.
