I think his point was that it's the job that you signed up for, so either do the job, or don't work there.

Working for minimum wage wasn't part of the contract you signed ("your job"), so your example isn't valid.

The article is, ostensibly, a call to recognize class warfare, and certain elements of "engineering culture" as aspects of same. Did you sign up for class warfare?

If you simply refuse to participate in the notion of seeing this as class warfare, super!, but that's actively disengaging from the substance of the article.
