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.
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.
Again…
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 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.
