We still see this attitude in HN comments sometimes. People thinking their piddly $500K in RSUs that vests over the next decade somehow qualifies them entry into the Global Elite class. And then they’ll argue against unions and other things that help workers because they see themselves as rubbing elbows with Jeff Bezos. Yea, yea, your handful of stock options make you just like him…
(And big tech execs still make orders of magnitude more in compensation than you do. You two were never alike!)
