The 'temporarily embarrassed' phrase is a trope used to belittle those who aren't sore losers about other people being more successful than them.

Not at all. I used the phrase as a riff on "Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires": people who make judgement calls based not on their current societal class but on their expected class, since they expect to soon join that other class.
I feel it's an adequate explanation of why people who are currently employees who support such employee-hostile policies.
