This just plain isn’t true for the vast majority of engineers. And exceptions occur in any industry. Focus your anger on billionaires and companies rather than your peers.
I recently started making more money, but until very recently tech workers were not my peers. They’re upper middle class and have very little in common with me. Sure, I’ll side with them against the ownership class, but calling them “peers” is a stretch.
If you seriously believe we still have a middle class, let alone an upper section of it, I’ve got a bridge to sell you
You know why they are your peers even before the salary bump you mention? Because you are INFINITELY closer to them then you are the upper class elite.
You need to zoom out and stop bashing heads with your fellow workers simply because they don’t perform the exact same job for same compensation.

$250k+ household income is absolutely upper middle class, what the hell are you talking about

Meaningless distinction. The upper middle class doesn’t have to worry about their utilities getting shut off due to nonpayment. They don’t have to worry about eviction. They have an emergency fund and college tuition fund for their children.
Sure in terms of pure monetary wealth, they’re closer to poor than rich. But in terms of life experience, all 3 classes are very different from each other.
yeah. everywhere I worked did some expense while traveling but traveling is a pain and I only do it when I have to. Usually there is someoen else on the team who loves to travel and so unless it has to be me I bow out.
Cry me a river. You guys work from home, get all your meals expensed, and make $200k+
Tech industry has been due for a correction for a long time.
Edit: your tears of rage sustain and vitalize me

As long as you’re not joining forces with the rest of us peons against the billionaires their plan is working.
I literally just said that I would join against billionaires, dumbass
This is literally us telling you to join and you’re calling people dumbass. Please have some perspective.
Edit: I just saw your edit to your original post. Consider this my last response. Very childish.

They are still your peers when it comes to the battle of workers vs employers. Sure, put it in a different context and it may sound wrong.
Cool, but that’s not what we were talking about.
I really am working the wrong tech jobs.
Me too. I only get meals expensed when I travel.

Damn I get free meals? Those fuckers owe me a fortune for the last 20 years. Not to mention all the quarters I dropped on shitty office coffee.
Woo boy, if you’re angry about that, wait until you hear about their owners.
Oh don’t even get me started
