Comment on The proletarianization of tech workers
MikuNPC@lemm.ee 9 months agoWorking at Google is not what it used to be 20 years ago. Not only would an average CEO be better off but there are plenty of other tech companies better to work at as well. Google engineers are salary workers not much different than any other

Those I know drive tesla and porsche, spend their long holidays traveling the world, and have higher entry salaries than management in banks, with larger bonuses.
But apparently you guys know different engineers that struggle to survive… Fine with that. I might know only the lucky one.
Otherwise we are all proletariat. Which is a news for me. I can finally complain with my “real proletarian” friends that we share the struggle, although we definitely don’t.
Anyway, I will stop arguing. Apparently labeling google engineers as proletariat is an important topic in Lemmy, that users do with extra passion

You are the one who came in and insisted on specific labels. People disagree with you. Don't pretend this was our passion, it was yours.
