- prepend 4y agoIt’s not an excuse to treat people poorly, but I certainly have less empathy for someone who has $5M in vested stock who gets fired vs someone who makes $15/hour and lives paycheck to paycheck. Both are injustices. The former isn’t much of a risk to life. The latter could literally result in life or death situations.
