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.
They catch ya comin’ and they catch ya goin’
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)

If you work in order to actually be able to to live, eat, and have shelter, you are working class.
