Tech workers need to ask themselves why their boss makes more than them for doing nothing

[-] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 1 year ago

There’s no way any substantial amount of tech workers are concerned about what UPS workers are making. These kinds of articles are rage bait targeted at “low skill” workers to make them furious at what they perceive to be high salary earners complaining about “blue collar” workers earning more money.

All of this bullshit is a distraction from the fact that the middle class is shrinking at a massive rate and the lower class is being turned against itself so nobody can rightfully blame the rich.

Fuck this article and the hatred it’s designed to generate. This is all bullshit.
