nice summary!
I paid full working dues to my union for 25 years. I was always happy to
write the check each quarter.

I never felt more like a statistic when I worked in the union when I
was young. I was nothing more than a drone, as were the others.
Having had some encounters with the Soviet Bloc when in my life time,
I have appreciated the fact that working under union duress was a
microcosmic experience of communism.

Start your own company if you don't like the way "management" is running
the one where your are an employee. Does your employment contract have
a clause that says you are guaranteed lifetime employment? Oh, that's
right you don't have an employment contract.

It's going to be an interesting day when your job is phased out and you
are dumped into the job market without an appropriate educational
background.

When you have 31 years experience a BA/BS degree from 30 odd years ago

Actually I still see some of his crap when you all respond to it, but I
usually just read the responser, as soon as I notice it's to WAFA I skip
over the quotes... Really, I already know what he is going to say, it
hasn't changed in over a decade, yawn...

A single stinking diploma from a third rate liberal arts school in
Kansas is all he has to hang his hat on. And the only thing he'll be
remembered for when he departs for the after life is WAFA.

Gee whiz, I get checks from my consulting business all month long, and
manage to get to the bank when necessary to deposit them. Y-a-w-n.

You must be working for a really small company if all the CEO has to do
is handle payroll.

If the definition of "drone" escapes you, you would certainly find any
meaningful response "meaningless."
