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

Always tearing each other and ourselves down instead of wondering whether the billionaires deserve so much.

Great, good for them. Tech workers who are unhappy are welcome to switch career I guess.

This is dumb. Are these angry tech workers less able to feed, clothe and house themselves and their families? It's like the crabs in a bucket thing but these crabs already climbed out and are sad to see others making it over the rim.

Now just imagine how much us techbros could make in engineering if we unionized.

Tech worker here making less than a UPS driver. Good for them, a rising tide lifts all boats.

👏 unionize 👏 yesterday 👏 techbros 👏

You can get all that and even more if you pressure your libertarian peers to nut up or shut up

Not sure if I read it right, but this was based on one comment? To me this just sounds like they're trying to pit tech workers against ups drivers.

There's no way in hell I'd want to deliver packages in this heat. Mad respect to UPS workers, they deserve every dollar of it.

To get a base salary of $170k you know you need to work hard as an Engineer, this sucks.

LOL - this motherfucker talkin about hard work. You actually think sitting in an office for 8 hours a day is working harder than the guy delivering packages? GTFO with that shit.

The only appropriate reaction is to congratulate them on their success and continuing fighting until EVERY worker is receiving not just a livable wage, but a thriving wage. Anything less than full-throated support for across the board pay raises is class treason.

UPS is actually somewhere I've wanted to work since my uncle works there, I have a bunch of certs though so I'm going to at least try to make the tech world work for me post military
