Firstly hilarious that BI is basically just posting message board comments as news.

But also those comments are expectedly hideous.

    Other tech workers on Blind expressed a similar level of discontent. Insider didn’t independently verify the users’ identities.

    Okay, I don’t doubt there’s a lot of snotty smug tech workers, but I will say this article is just reporting on anonymous posts on a forum. I know tech workers and while they can be douchebags I don’t think any of them would be this AGAST at learning delivery drivers were making about as much as them. They’d probably just shrug it off and say “well I guess they have a good union”.

      One criticism I have for myself and others here is that we often make these statements without really knowing what insert whoever were mad about do on a daily basis.

      We look bad when we say something proudly and it’s flat out wrong but feels good.

      That being said there are obviously tech workers who hate the idea of someone not doing something the way they did it exactly so it’s undeserved. Fuck those guys.
