      while the comment stated A => B, you assumed the reciprocal B => A, thus making you wrong : you absolutely can be a salaried ergineer and be working class

      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

      (I say “we” since I’m also a salaried engineer)
