It’s funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren’t going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic.
Also, sure Millenials and Gen-Z are “choosing” to go back. They aren’t compelled in any way. Right.
It me, though ultra-wealthy is a disingenuous choice of words: unless you can live off of your capital alone, you’re not ultra-wealthy.
It’s just more shifting the goalposts.
By lowering the bar on what “wealthy” is, it starts targeting those chanting “eat the rich” at each other.
Timmy the Zer sees Dave the Xer with a house and car and equates that with wealth and starts blasting. While the actual wealthy hide away in their riches and are left alone.
Right? I’m just sitting here like “I got $1000 in the bank, a nice job that lets me travel, living comfortably within my means; we’re all in the same metaphorical boat.”
At least they didn’t call them middle-class.
