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

Yeah, I don't mean discussing this stuff at work, I mean sanctioned official spaces (message boards, memegen, forums) where you do this quasi officially.

I think of it as where the mental line is drawn between "our business" and "the employer's business". Tech workers in my experience have an identification with and trust of their employer that would make a steel worker's hair stand on end

I'd be interested in hearing more about this comparison, since you have a foot in both worlds. My experience (direct and through parents) of jobs was always service work, McJobs, or stuff like low-wage warehouse labor, never a unionized industry
