      6 figures is a salaried position. You aren’t even getting paid hourly, and likely not clocking in or out, at that point. You aren’t the person getting sent home by this rando middle-manager - more likely his boss.

          Salaried employement is literally a different category than wages. At the level of 6-figures, you’re more “company representative” or “asset” than employee.

              6-figure salary workers generally get severance pay, even at companies that otherwise don’t offer that. They generally can’t unionize - THAT’S how en-meshed they are with their companies’ interests.

              You either have no idea how far the people you are talking about are removed from a wage-slave like yourself, or no idea how far you yourself are removed from wage-slavery.

              These people are well into the top 15% of earners. Outside of the biggest cities, they run hospitals, school districts, multiple floors of office buildings. They are the ones getting special tax credits for their 2nd homes. They are landlords and/or small business owners(like myself). People with an exit plan, not just for their job, but for their state, for their country - plans they can impliment at the drop of a hat with minimal impact to their savings or retirement plans. They and their friends buy up neighborhoods together; They are the bourgeoisie. Near-aristocrats and merchant class that see themselves as poor.

              The only kool-aid drinker here is you.
