I think you're getting unfairly downvoted. A lot of people, across all salary ranges, are just vaguely tired of constantly Providing Maximal Shareholder Value™ to their managers day in and day out, having that One Purpose dominate their lives, and at the end of each day looking up and seeing nothing tangible to show for what they've done.

And being given an email and locked out of everything after a decade of doing so, on a whim, all because someone thought you were just an expense…

Its also the absolute assurance that we're all going to get screwed by a big crash circa 2028.

Yep, this is the right answer. Everything is max money always, and you can't have nice things any more, you can only have things that extract all the value they can out of you.

Shhh no class consciousness on HN allowed

Ive paraphrased it before and i’ll paraphrase it again
