    Did anyone read this article? The summary and title make it sound like a bad YouTube video in article form… “Tech workers react…”

    Is there anything actually interesting inside?

      It’s businessinsider. The answer is always “no”

      They found a post on an anonymous forum complaining and made an article about it because it fits their narrative that workers are being paid too much

      They even misspelled “job” in the middle of the article they spent so little time proofreading or fact checking

      Edit: The only interesting lines in the article

      could get $170,000 in pay and benefits in five years’ time

      The agreement has yet to be officially approved

      the inside or substance doesn’t matter; what matters is that it gets attention (like it is here) and makes other mad enough that drivers are getting paid so much more than they are that they support politicians and laws capping/crippling pay transparency.
