Be grateful for your privilege. Most employees aren't tech.
The workers at companies that schlep things around are working a real, non-stop 8 hours. This is why Amazon warehouse jobs are so shitty.
Teachers are pretty much non-stop as well. This is why so many of them have medical issues with their bladders.
The vast majority of workers are in positions that really do put in 40 hours of hard work a week--and they don't get paid anywhere near as much as tech.
