The work culture at rich tech companies (people read something upsetting in the news and want to discuss and 'process' it on company time) is so alien from most people's experience of work that it makes me despair for ever finding common ground with the actual working class

Tech workers see themselves as tomorrow's bosses, much more than most other workers. Seeing yourself as the boss's peer, when you're not, sets so many traps. "We have a flat organisational structure!" "Oh, you mean the people with actual power can share the blame around..."

This mentality always conveniently manages to stop juuuust short of actually being willing to stick one's neck out about injustices or bad policy that hurts, e.g. non-tech workers (Amazon, Uber) or customers (FB, Twitter).
