“This is disappointing, how is possible that a driver makes much more than average Engineer in R&D?”

Because the engineer is being exploited and refuses to unionize.

“To get a base salary of $170k you know you need to work hard as an Engineer, this sucks.”

Bitch, UPS workers work harder than I ever did as an electronics engineer.

As a tech worker in rhe U.S. we are definitely not being exploited. I’m all for unions but we’re doing just fine.

Let’s just say that some tech workers in the US are being exploited more than others. A lot more
