disagree  Germaine: Ce n'est pas le sens. On oppose isolement et réseautage: rester seul dans son coin ("trop" autonome)// Posé tel quel, connotation péjorative (Vous êtes lâche) alors que le ton est "Pourquoi rester seul quand nous sommes là."

  -> Same meaning.
neutral  Daryo: this would be fine if the ST was an appeal to start your own business i.e. to "go for it alone"// in fact this title is misleading (probably done on purpose, to make it more eye-catching) - it's an appeal not to be alone - to join a union.
