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.
The sad part is that this job will eventually lead to a 6 figure salary […] It’s not that delivery drivers don’t deserve that kind of salary
So it sure sounds like you’re saying they don’t deserve it lol
It’s really not, as evident by the statement immediately after that you left out.
…we do for the work during the crunch times.
The sad part was that I wasted at least 10 years of my life trying to achieve something that I eventually had to accept was never going to happen. I think I deserved a 6 figure salary for the work I was doing in IT. Other people had achieved it doing the same work. But after the last layoff and not being able to find something that wasn’t pure tech support for less money that I had been making before, I had to make a difficult decision. And that decision is going to finally lead to the salary I want.
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.
It’s that IT workers deserve a union that will back them up and get them that salary.
Everyone deserves the same chance for reward for doing the same work. Everyone.
