If you want balance of power improve your skills and get job in a company that values you more. There would never be perfect balance of power. It's not real life.

It's not about perfection, quite a misnomer of an argument imo. You would be the kind of person that 100 years ago would probably be against woman getting the vote - "It's not about equality, that's not real life"

No. I would be saying them if they want to vote, move to a country which values them and give them the right to vote.

Just like millions of people ditched communist countries and moved to USA.

You are changing the goal posts. On an individual level that might all be fine 'in a perfect world', but moving somewhere else, improving ones skills, not a given at all. You sound bitter and lack empathy.

If the problem is big enough for you, you are perfectly capable of changing company or country. If not, it's not important for you or you don't care enough to put in the work.

Now that comes across as some perfect utopia. Maybe certain people don't want to stick their neck out in fear of losing job, which is not possible since they have to support a family. Etc. You live in a hypothetical dream world.

If you live in fear of loosing job you have far more important things to work on first than changing company culture.

Alternatively we unionize and see that balance of power happen.

It’s funny all this anti union speak and then when companies are faced with it suddenly their purses start opening up.
