I think I agree. Objectively we do have it better than most and tech is generally an extremely cushy job.

Even here in Europe salaries can match Doctors and Lawyers but the barrier to entry is much lower and in my experience employment is still based on merit more than anything.

Perhaps there's some element of "don't rock the boat" but maybe some guilt too. We really have lucked out.

Not sure how comfortable I'd feel taking union action over my job that requires me to leave the house once a week but pays 3x a teachers salary.
