The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

    “Um actually 🤓 ☝️”

    Have some sense to not post something like this when you are aware of the plight of the average worker in America even if you are in the minority as a tech worker

    (I’m also a tech worker)

      Honestly even tech workers are not paid enough relative to executives. Shit is crazy out here.

      And then lawyers be making like $1mil a year.

          In the case where you work at the same company and get paid from the same revenue source, then that is exactly what it means.

          EDIT: Also consider that if you balanced pay better across an organization, less of it would get taxed.

              I didn’t say everyone deserves the same pay. I just don’t think an executive’s job is 100-400x harder than the average worker, yet many executives make that much more.

                I agree with you in principal, but some executives are probably worth 10000x the pay of some average workers because the average worker could literally never do their job as well.
