    He's a class traitor, just like when aristocrats become revolutionaries. Big support to him, but he and the other people who are scabbing aren't "workers", their class interest directly contradicts that of the striking workers.

        Oh man, somebody should've told me I own my means of production, I would've refactored it to feed people or help do urban planning or something useful instead of WebShit:tm:

        Love when the bourgeoisie are people who make a high salary for their labor. Not defending gross overcompensation of office work but, yea...

      It isn't though, if anything they are interested in the workers' demands being met, allowing them to go back to the office, they're not getting a bonus for doing a job they aren't even trained for and they're being forced into longer hours under threat of termination.

      The thing is they are actually more replaceable than those factory workers even if (and partly because) they get payed more.

              As it turns out, corporations that size have huge hierarchical structures and “manager” isn’t a very useful term because it describes both lowly office drones and multi-millionaire executives. I guarantee the person who wrote this info did not make the decision to adjust their schedule themselves. I’ve been in companies who asked workers to voluntarily sacrifice salary or benefits “for the good of the company” and it doesn’t go well.

          "white collar workers aren't proletarians but also blue collar workers are stupid and lazy"

          That would make them internal labor aristocracy, still workers though, just with unaligned interests

      Love to understand salary workers as somehow different from hourly workers even though both earn a wage
