Yeah, we need to stop talking about the pandemic experience like it affected people in any way similarily. Tech worked their fingers to the bone— 50 hour weeks and isolatng heads down grind. Everyone made money but it crushed their souls. Hospitality and entertainment stayed home and starved. Essential workers went in every day under crushing conditions, fear and literal death.

We were all subject to one master. But under a different punishment.

Hilarious to think that 50 hour weeks is working your fingers to the bone.

10 hours over the default American work week does seem a bit much.

This may have been your experience but it was nowhere near mine. I think talking about “tech” as a whole is generalizing too broadly.

America is not "the West". Everyone kept their pay check in my country.
