    The double-edged sword of western labor. Your options are:

    • Work hourly and get some middle manager rolling dice to see which hours/days you’re scheduled for every week, the day before the timesheet goes out.

    • Work salary and get sucked into late night deployments, lunch meetings, and assorted overtime projects you don’t receive pay for.

    I think their point is we should be part of the movement. Although, IMO we should also recognize that there are definitely chose who have it worse

      Yeah, as an hourly engineer that’s how I feel. When I was salary I still needed my ass in a seat if I wanted to eat, even if not being nickel and dimed on time in theory was nice (they eventually did switch to having us punch a clock though)

  I’m bourgeoisie, can I still be part of the movement or do I have to divest first?

    Look to what Engels did. There are plenty of class traitors throughout history.

    Do you make enough from those investments to live off of them? If not, you’re not bourgeoisie.

      It’s more a family business which I work at and get shareholder value from.

    No, by the very definition you are cosplaying as a poor. That might be worse.
