I was wondering why the headline refers specifically to "tech worker".

It seems like the motivation for the article is to call attention to a stereotypical "tech bro". Is "tech bro" in common usage?

I guess I didn't realize that appending "bro" to create a pejorative term has become so common.

I agree. I'd even go so far as saying it's appealing to the audience's basest desire: to perpetuate an iconic enemy.

You could do the same thing by changing "Tech Worker" to "White Man," that is: pick some group he belongs to and try to blame the whole for his callous delivery.
