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

    As someone in America I’m not undervalued, underpaid, or starving. Maybe you should stick to speaking for your own industry.

          🤭 it’s funny because in my history of working in engineering, the guy (rarely gal) with this attitude is consistently the least effective or useful. I presume the same applies here, based on a number of factors you’ve politely lain before us all.

          The attitude of “fuck them, I got mine” is a good way to get people to hate you. I hope you’re okay with that.

      “I’m not struggling so therefore no one else is struggling”

      Are you for fucking real?

      “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.

        I don’t really have issues there, either. I actually get in hot water if I don’t take at least 6 weeks of PTO a year, and the maximum is unlimited so long as my work gets done.

      If your CEO has money, you’re probably undervalued and underpaid. It’s how the incentive structure works.

      Hahaha, 😅 uhh you most certainly are, buddy! Hate to burst your bubble and bring you back down to reality… I know you hate it when we take the binkiboot out of your mouth to let your breath for a second, but you got to give it up eventually… you’re too old for that now…
