    My old job, a software job, people would work nights and weekends to “make deadlines”. Arbitrary deadlines made up by ownership. I’d try to tell them that they’re devaluing their labor by giving it away for cheap, but they don’t care. No class solidarity.

    These are healthy young white men making $200k to $300k a year.

    These are the same people whose knowledge of history sums up to about “isn’t jim crow a burger place?” so maybe I’m asking too much of them.
