It is just baffling that you think this. Have you worked in the service industry recently? Like about half of americans? Where you also work long hours, but don't have a set schedule, or health insurance, or pto. And are required to endure virtually any debasement a customer feels like exposing you to. And your behavior, appearance, comings and goings are rigidly governed by a handbook and enforced by petty tyrants enraged by also enduring all these same conditions?

Get some perspective ffs. This is the easiest, cushiest job I've ever had, and the only one where people with masters degrees often consider me their peer despite my 11th grade education.

Stop whining and join a union or something seriously. These are all minor and solvable problems.

Being cushy isn’t high status.

Many IT jobs are paid hourly, don’t get health insurance, and some even get paid minimum wage. That said, I have had plenty of people describe their retail jobs as cushy because it’s low physical labor, inside with AC, and they don’t have to think.

That says more about you than the average developer. You may feel you won the lottery because you don't have to stack boxes in your hometown for minimum wage because of the limitations on a grade 11 education. That person who put in the effort/time/money to get that masters might feel left out of the club of his former peers run the show.

Please get some perspective not everyone is in your situation.
