I don't know that it is worse for devs than other workers. Have any of you seen the incredibly demeaning chanting/cheering fake-excitement bullshit that service workers have to put up with[1]? And that's for shit pay, little meaningful chance of advancement and crappy alternatives.

Being talked down to by a bean counter in a superhero suit is empowering in comparison.

[1] For one example, google "wallmart pep rally".

This was satirized pretty well in the movie Office Space with the "15 pieces of flair" thing...
