Ppl in tech don't all make hundreds of thousands a year. Ppl are scraping by, especially after the last 5 years of inflation. Y'all have insane expectations you'd never personally meet because this the internet and you can just say shit.
Even the lowest salaries in tech are often still higher than the average salaries in other fields. The bargaining power is rubbish now because tech was too comfortable to unionize, but the salaries are still higher than most blue collar roles. I’ve taken lower salaries in the past myself just to avoid terrible industries—in some cases well under $100k—and they were still higher than other fields.
People are not throwing their lives into economic chaos to satisfy your moral demands and it's not reasonable to be demanding it to begin with.
No one is demanding anything. I know people in comfy jobs will continue to make excuses to stay, even at companies that have been morally bankrupt well before now, like EA.
