Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration::Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.
But what you’re saying is “they don’t deserve it, I do!”
You’re literally saying it’s “sad” that delivery jobs will lead to a 6 figure salary i.e. they don’t deserve it.
As if this is a zero sum game.
Again, it’s really not.
Everyone deserves the same chance for reward for doing the same work. Everyone.
Then why is it sad that delivery drivers will get a 6 figure salary?
Again…
I had to leave a 20 year IT career in order to get what I was looking for. Delivery drivers deserve every last cent they fought for. It’s just a shame that IT works don’t have someone fighting for them collectively.
Again
Why. Is. It. Sad. That. Delivery. Drivers. Get. A. Six. Figure. Salary.
Nothing else you’re saying takes away from the fact that you literally said this.
I’ve edited my comment for clarity.
Seriously, stop focusing on your misinterpretation of a single statement…
That’s all I wanted! When you make a communication error, correct it. Don’t just argue about it lol
I repeatedly clarified my position. I wasn’t arguing about it, I was correcting your misinterpretation.
No, you accused me of misinterpreting what you said by leaving things out, but that’s not what happened. The quote I was drilling down on clearly said one thing, even though you meant another, but instead of just saying “oops, what I meant was” you came at me!
I was just telling you what you sounded like. “Evident”. It wasn’t evident, it was poorly phased.
