I got my B.S. years early with minimal debt. Working salaried in tech since I was 18. Since I can't buy a home I know shit is royally fucked and no I will not settle for simply scrambling to the top of my peers. Let's topple the tower.

Right? I don’t make a lot but I’m lucky to have support and I do(normally) make more than twice minimum wage. Whenever someone says that I should change jobs if I want more money I seriously consider pushing them infront of traffic.

My last bosses said, and I quote, “we are not responsible for paying for your lifestyle” in response to a Google Doc I shared showing how the salary they offer for my office job was grossly underpaying me and I was being quite generous. It’s like, what the fuck do they think a salary is? It’s literally the monetary compensation that someone gets which provides the lifestyle that we expect a given job should support.

All these bosses have been told how special they are for way too long and they seem to think that we actually enjoy working for them so much that our salaries are more like a nice bonus.

Something about all the "evil boss" movies of the 80s and 90s really stuck with that generation. It's like they picked out the lowest of lows from the movie and said "you know what as long as I'm better than that I'm a good boss and people should be happy to work for me".

Hell so many of them saw that and went “ooh maybe I can be like that someday!”

But yea, relativistic morality is a fuckin’ cancer and I hate it and the braindead people who suck so bad at life they need to find excuses like that for their shitty behaviour.
