Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration::Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.

    Again, it’s really not.

    It’s that IT workers deserve a union that will back them up and get them that salary.

    Everyone deserves the same chance for reward for doing the same work. Everyone.

        Again…

        The sad part was that I wasted at least 10 years of my life trying to achieve something that I eventually had to accept was never going to happen.

        I had to leave a 20 year IT career in order to get what I was looking for. Delivery drivers deserve every last cent they fought for. It’s just a shame that IT works don’t have someone fighting for them collectively.

          Again

          The sad part is that this job will eventually lead to a 6 figure salary.

          Why. Is. It. Sad. That. Delivery. Drivers. Get. A. Six. Figure. Salary.

          Nothing else you’re saying takes away from the fact that you literally said this.

            I’ve edited my comment for clarity.

            Seriously, stop focusing on your misinterpretation of a single statement…

                I repeatedly clarified my position. I wasn’t arguing about it, I was correcting your misinterpretation.

                  It’s really not, as evident by the statement immediately after that you left out.

                  No, you accused me of misinterpreting what you said by leaving things out, but that’s not what happened. The quote I was drilling down on clearly said one thing, even though you meant another, but instead of just saying “oops, what I meant was” you came at me!

                  I was just telling you what you sounded like. “Evident”. It wasn’t evident, it was poorly phased.

                    Right. You couldn’t get past your misinterpretation of a single statement, and ignored everything afterwards that clarified that statement. If you feel that I “came at you”, that again is a misinterpretation. You’re being confrontational. And I’m ending this now.
