Surprise!

It turns out that although we employees are fêted as "Masters of the Tech Universe," Adam is a member of the Owner Class, and we are members of the Worker Class, and the two classes play by different rules.

The first of such rules is that Owners make the rules, and consequently those rules benefit Owners over Workers.

I'm ok with that, obviously, but being ok with something is not the same thing as being blind to it.
