I like this piece, even though it’s pushing a message.
I think about this a lot. Every day I go to work. The men and women I work with don’t look like the sleek 23-year-old product managers that adorn the promotional material, or the immaculately groomed Real Business Leaders, or the space alien Zuckerberg types. Far from being a monoculture of bro-y white men, there is a vast diversity of backgrounds - national, cultural, and person. I wish the media would show it more. The people who work at these companies are just people, with all their good and bad. They are not The Enemy; they are just white collar professionals struggling to get by like all the dentists and accountants and process engineers. Sure, some of them get lucky and rich, and some of them leverage themselves to the hilt to buy property here. But for most of them, a decent house is out of reach too. The real enemy is the gerontocracy.
