I am curious how this will play out for small startups which usually forgo higher pay for stock options and other less tangible benefits, usually propped up by motivated young professionals.
As both a manager and contributor myself, I can say from experience that (perhaps obviously) management of highly motivated persons is much easier than those putting in the work strictly for a paycheck. There is a clear "us vs them" mentality for a growing group of contributors burned-out from capatalism (see r/antiwork) and the vicious cycle for this cohort is that the more apathetic a person becomes, the more mamagement intervention they're likely to receive, putting them more at odds with the same forces they oppose.
