I thought the original comment was referring to all tech workers, ie not independently wealthy as the lower classes. But it's also true that below principal level at companies there is different treatment. Just like a cto gets treated better than the senior principal.
- robertlagrant 4y agoThere might be a hierarchy of value, but that to me doesn't imply lower classes in the normal sense. We're talking about people being paid some of the best salaries in the history of the world, and with very little personal risk.
- lamontcg 4y agoThe billionaire class is currently worried about the whole of the working class, it goes well beyond SWEs at Facebook and Google. But Amazon being worried about organizing in their warehouses and Google and Facebook freezing hiring of SWEs and Musk's comments about how workers have become soft and overpaid (or whatever it was, I can't find the quote right now) are all different body parts of the same elephant. And SWEs actually are "lower classes" (plural) compared to billionaires.
