You'd probably pee in your pants the first time you saw a $300 suit on the other side of the bargaining table.
Wrong again, as usual. I'd be wearing it. And I've dealt with people wearing those suits and came away just fine, thank you.

It sure is easy to intimidate you.

Ask some of the unemployed engineers who hang out on SI whether their lives would be better today had they had a union behind them when their company decided to downsize.
Not a problem. The good ones either aren't the ones who get shot, or soon have another job soon.
I was laid off once, for 6 weeks, in 35 years. And that actually was a favor. When the dust settled I was significantly better off.

Look, flapquak, broken-field running is one life's necessities. You learn to cope with whatever life throws at you or you're roadkill.
