      Until they’re not.

      Everything is cool right now for them because they got good management. But at some point, some MBA grad gets elected to lead and drain Costco out of all good will.

      Same with Steam.

        “If the good thing is bad then it’s bad”

        Wow so insightful.

        If you care about workers rights you should focus on the corporations that are suppressing them instead of making concessions.

        This shifting attention onto fucking Costco is lazy propaganda, but i guess it works on you.

        Yeah I’m scared of what will happen to steam when Gabe retires. I hope he’s hand picked a really solid successor

          Oh yeah, that’s a big one. I hope they’re learning some theory so they are able to do the right restructuring. A hand picked leader could work, transferring ownership to Valve’s employees and reforming it as a worker co-op along with that would be more resilient.

      Right now… it’s “one of the most pro worker employers in the US” right now.

      If they have no problem with being such, then they shouldn’t mind a few collectively bargained contacts which ensure they stay that way.
