Yes, I find it quite ironic that one of the most privileged groups on the planet is suddenly supporting an essentially communist argument of wage theft, as soon as there's even a slight possibility of them being underpaid. Apparently they are also entitled to unprecedented upward mobility.
I sincerely doubt many software developers here spend any sleepless nights wondering what it would have been like had they been in another field or profession, which are just as much victims of wage theft as supposedly these engineers are.
Why shouldn't everyone care about getting paid as much as absolutely possible (i.e. the only meaningful definition of "not underpaid")?
It's a somewhat free market, shouldn't we all be striving to maximize our take? Or are you suggesting that the central planning committee should be handing out salary guides?
