Geez Louise have you actually ever met anyone working at a big tech company? Trust me we are all just like any other tech worker. Compensation is higher but there is still the same dynamic of capital against labor - just look at all the talk about "coasters" and "low performers" from CEOs across the industry. They are trying to trim fat as fast as they can now that there is the cover story of "economic uncertainty".

Everyone has their own story so please don't assume and judge. Many of my colleagues are H1B, or support their family back home, or has student loans, or whatever else.
