Oh sure, but if you look a little beyond the surface you'd see people who also just want to keep their jobs, just like you.

It's easy to vilify those you don't like, it's hard to really look at them and see that they aren't that different from us

Except they have access to everyone's salaries so they have greater bargaining power than we do. Not exactly the same as the average employee at a company.

May be so, but they're still human, love their kids, have problems just like you and me, and most importantly, they too can lose their job. I can just as well say that since I oversee all tech in the company that I work for thst, technically, if I wanted, I could see everyone's salary too. Doesn't make me better or worse or different than you.

The point is that they have greater bargaining power than the average employee at a company, not that they aren't human. I didn't say they were better or worse than anyone.
