I suppose it would impact the bottom line of Buzzfeed if they didn't post articles and generate ad-revenue with clickbait. That said, it's not like mining or steel working, which is actual hard work. I'm fairly certain a 9 year old could write a Buzzfeed article, they're all so formulaic and fill-in-the-blank. I think you could design a computer program to randomly generate articles based on whatever topics are trending on twitter. Just have a literate human edit it a little to make sure the content makes sense.

Bottom line, if Buzzfeed's """writers""" decide to strike, their line of work is so saturated, scabs will be lining up around the corner. Quality won't even drop, because the quality was never there to begin with.

does this mean that they are creating a form of national socialism for themselves?

Back then
>fuck those blue collared rednecks with their unions losing their jobs, they need to learn to code

Now

um what are you guys doing with the timeline lol

This
I saw this on marketbeat and laughed heartily a fucking union? ARE YOU SERIOUS SENPAI they really are so divorced from reality they think their jobs are worth a union organization like go fuck yourself faggots just wait till The Covington case hits man are the layoffs gonna compound it’ll be like gawker 2.0

>Workers Rights! We demand secure jobs and health care benefits

lmao

let them unionize, they are going to get themselves fired quicker, plus if upper management does cuck to their demands, Buzz Feed will fold eventually due to the high demands from said union.

WIN/WIN

Ah yes, finally a Journalist union. The literal last thing that should be unionized

yeah it does seem like a desperate act of scared people. as if they are Power Rangers combining together to take on the evil Pink Slip monster.

>With the cost of living, that salary is less than half what you'd comparatively make working elsewhere.
COPING this much eh

>journalism is now blue-collar enough to unionize
HAHAHAHAHAHA the absolute fucking state

Ha ha ha. What are they gonna do? Go on strike?

>Reduce work force due to lack of work

Lmao, ie, nobody's buying our bullshit.

You're so right it hurts. We might finally see BuzzFeed go under. Sooner rather than later. It's the beginning of the end for journalism.

But as good as that sounds it means that all the masses will have is TV "journalism" spewing pure centrist BS pushing more and more pro-war propaganda funded by the deep state.

Honestly doesn't matter you can get that job at 25 and check the fuck out at 40 even with high costs of living. Just gotta be on guard for a decade or so not to get indoctrinated.

>COPING this much eh
Considering that the median home price in Palo Alto is over 3m, I feel like my assertion is objectively proven.
But you can cry Califag.

its true do. some programmers have second job as uber drivers or sleep in their cars.

Wait can I get a collective bargain on multiple prostitutes? Is this like an e-bate thing or something?

>Honestly doesn't matter you can get that job at 25 and check the fuck out at 40 even with high costs of living
400k a year is nothing out there.
The price of a home in Cali is more than I'd pay for four nice waterfront homes.

>Unionize

So basically...The owner can now legitimately fire 10 people all at once instead of just 1 under the premise of not able to satisfy the union's requirements.

Could you imagine unionizing around an unskilled task that not only anyone with an IQ above 90 can do, but that millions of people would gladly do for free?
I feel like Jow Forums needs to unionize as shitposters. Effortposters form a different union. Can you believe all those people screencapping our posts and stealing our memes, and generating ad revenue all over the internet with our creations?!?
We are CREATORS. SHITPOSTING UNION NOW!

digits of truth

Consider the competition in the union market for these buzzfeed "journalists". Unions are paid to virtue signal their members (perceived) rights to their employer. We should keep an eye out for emerging platforms for potential lulz

unions usually start out beneficial for the workers but over time end up costing them and their industry dearly.

Kinda like government.

>>tfw buzzfeed writers have to resort to harassing anonymous scabs

Funny thing is, if they Pickett outside the office there won't be any scabs to harass, since their jobs can all be done from home by a 500lb dyke in her moomoo.

Even paying 100k a year in taxes and 100k a year in rent and other expenses, you're banking almost enough to be buying a rental property in another sane state per year that you manage on the side until you make that your full time job and check the fuck out. That's a lot of cash to be banking once you get out of the area.

The prostitutes here in Australia are unionised. Their union is called the "Scarlet Alliance". They have an annual march in the city each year where I live. Imagine one of those feminist slut walks except that the women aren't fat.

They've got a political party as well called the "Australian Sex Party" that they use to push their political interests in Canberra.

You fucking wot mate?

>Australian Sex Party
that sounds like a punchline desu. Also what's the deal with "canberra" isn't that your completely designed from the ground up capital? What's the name mean?

underrated comment

Staffing firm maybe, but only if union is treated as a feature and a product. Otherwise, the idea of union is antithesis to business methink.

Yes that's it. Before it was built they used Melb as a temporary capital. It's weird to visit. Lots of empty streets going round in circles and monumental government buildings. Name means some abbo bullshit.

When the australian states federated both melbourne and sydney wanted to be the capital so, to settle the dispute, a new city wa funded nd built up from scratch. "Canberra" is an abbo word that means "meeting place"

>Honestly doesn't matter you can get that job at 25 and check the fuck out at 40
This is why STEM and the hiring process have become a giant meme.
Faggots will "network" their way into an entry level coding job and NEVER advance or leave unless:
-the company they work for becomes over-saturated and fires their useless ass or goes under (usually the second one happens)
-they reach retirement age
This is why so many """""""""journalists""""""""" are getting laid off. Unlike tech companies, the likes of Buzzfeed don't have to worry about getting sued by SJWs, so they're firing all the shitheads before they run out of money.
Fake news isn't profitable anymore, even if Hillary had won the election, at least some of these people would have been laid off (you wouldn't be hearing about it, though). With Trump, it's happening a lot more.

Not worth it.
I'd rather make less money working for a company I liked in a place that wasn't costing me $100k for some shitty apartment.
Fuck California

they could all be replaced by the fired huffpost writers and no one would notice

Basically this.

They also end up telling you who to vote for in government.

Good in theory, but just like anything involving groups of people, it ends up shit.

Learn to code faggots

this so much

The tide of automation rises.

i picture buzzfeed writers as the people that tell me what i don't know what im talking about when im an expert in the field because i didn't use proper grammar on an internet forum.

3 fuckable hapas, and two fuckable white women. Jesus Christ 'women in tech', get your shit together.

The problem is unions tend to turn into shit eventually.

They’ll just fire everyone and keep those who don’t want to unionize

business school best practices: immediately terminate union enthusiasts, up to the point of relocating facilities. holy shit.

don't even say the word "union" if you value your employment situation. i'm currently convinced that american undergrad makes students dumber by design.

Stop buying property in California. Rent with roommates and eat modest. Once you’ve saved up a good amount and built up a resume and connections, check the fuck out of the state.

I agree but if I could travel back and time and guarantee I would end up the same place and time I did 5 years ago I might put myself through the hell for a few years when I was single and stomach through it, who knows if I could survive that hellhole though.

LOLOLOLOL... fucking millennials

>they think their jobs are worth a union organization

Of course they do, the really smart folks from the union told them all the great work they'll do for them, and how life is so much better under the union umbrella.

Now, about those dues...

lol, apparently they don’t understand how unions work. You start a union when things are good, and threaten to leave if you’re not paid right. When there’s layoffs, how are you going to threaten to quit????

Please unionize the Chicago Tribune. Rex Hupke, Chris Jones and Eric Zorn could use the journey solidarity for the free newspaper in Chicago. Otherwise they might need to LTC.

Daily reminder that the most popular thing on buzzfeed was the quizzes. And those were done by an idiot free contributor. All that dumbfuck got was buzzfeed merch.

The professional journalists cannot even compete with a guy that does it for free

Attached: OH_JEW.png (398x370, 135K)

most people would think a large part of being a "ethical" business is competing in the free market through honest and transparent practices.
but apparently not everyone agrees on the "free market" part.
if a business has the generous capital necessary to painlessly abide by union requirements, sure. i'd say they benefit from a large pool of potential workers, and ideally happy workers at that.
but as another user mentioned, regulation/unionization is the antithesis of the "free market".

>News Reporting != journalism

It's not even news reporting. The Buzzfeeds, Huffposts, CNNs, etc. are 99% opinion all day.

They can't even report on simple events w/o turning it into a fuck Trump piece.

>inb4 buy muh Faux News

They're WAY less into opinion pieces during the day. Once the primetime shows start it's another story but those are clearly opinion and not news shows.

You guys realise these insufferable cunts are going to unionize and end up writing puff pieces for the union who will sell their members off periodically like a pimp

>Why would anyone want to work for a silicon valley company?

I'm sure it has a lot of perks and opens doors at other companies but getting to 30 years old and still having roommates sounds miserable.

The other option is dropping $4K a month on a tiny studio apartment like most people end up doing in NYC.

I'd rather make 1/3 of the Silicon Valley salary and own a house like a decent human being.

in the end, there really is no such thing. i used to think there was, but "the invisible hand" has replaced God for our new priests called economists. the custodians of the central church pick winners and losers. it feels douchy to type this but it's unavoidable.

quality post from Kek flag, now that's a rarity

Disgusting

The Jew that bought gawker and is also trying to buy the rest of the subsites from univision to reunite them got around unions when bought mic media. He made the current owners fire all of the unionized writers as a condition of the sale. Boom problem solved old owner is no longer their boss and the new owner never was, no one to strike against or sue.

>The other option is dropping $4K a month
more like 2k

off the top of my head volkswagen, actually pretty much all of germany industry to this day, also japan during their industrial peak was very unionized, both explain why the US lags behind in the auto industry today

unions and labor productivity are complex phenomena, Jow Forums's (and specially american Jow Forumstards) views on capitalism are absolutely erroneous and infantile, 3rd grade level, most don't understand why slavery is a bad thing for the economy, so I don't think they are capable of envisioning how compromise between workers and employers can result in better results for both (it's called game theory) even if they fried their 2 little neurons thinking so hard

>If they unionize it will force the whole news organization to fold.
I am a proud union member in a real occupation that does not involve retarded fake stories about transgendered Brazilian coke dealers, and I can say with most certainty it would cause the whole operation they have to fail totally.

Sounds like a good case for automation

I am a HUGE Supporter of big business, but I also am a huge supporter of quality organized labor. the 2 go hand in hand, and remove government legislation totally from the table. I don't know that most people get this. This sort of business creates compromises on both sides, and usually results in better workers being paid a better wage. Sure, there are some shitty things that unions can do, but by the same token, there are some shitty things businesses do also.

kek

>So basically...The owner can now legitimately fire 10 people all at once instead of just 1 under the premise of not able to satisfy the union's requirements.

I would love to see a journo union and buzzfeed in a shit flinging fest ending with buzzfeed reaganizing them before going under a few stale months later

Unions in germany are pretty successful but it's nothing like these buzzfeed commies imagine it is

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

pajeets incoming. We need more H1b journalism

the free market ain't real, was never real, will never be real, it's impractible outside of carefully controlled and simulated environments, it's nothing but a shoddy assumption adopted by 18th century economists to make their shitty math work justifying their position in the state apparatus, it's a concept so detached from reality that its advocation as a sort of "moral guideline" for the real economy only reveals underlying political gains and/or mental gymnastics of the advocate himself

the real economy is by nature socially constructed, infinitely atomized and riddled by all sorts of inequality of various magnitudes

>a company worth next to nothing unionizing
they will literally liquidate the entire company before letting this happen.

Comunist journalists go full commie and the larping communist outlet go full capitalist. Love it.

>larping communist outlet go full capitalist
wait what?

>>a company worth next to nothing unionizing
>they will literally liquidate the entire company before letting this happen.
They aren't profitable. This cannot be too far off from happening.

I hope they unionize and go on strike

All of those businesses got shipped overseas.
