    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.

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