Because other people have to basically behave like wage slaves, doesn't mean that is fine and programmers should just shut up and withstand abuse.
This is the same argument over and over that IT has it too good and maybe when there are layoffs or abuse scandals, some people rejoice in knowing they too are suffering like others. Like it's deserved.
It isn’t deserved, but also, you do have to be able to withstand some abuse in this life.
Not saying I agree with it, nor am I saying it should remain this way? But having the fortitude to tough out some shit is a valuable skill. Not saying that OP doesn’t, but also, a lot of people don’t.
