It's really not, as evident by the statement immediately after that you left out.
The sad part was that I wasted at least 10 years of my life trying to achieve something that I eventually had to accept was never going to happen. I think I deserved a 6 figure salary for the work I was doing in IT. Other people had achieved it doing the same work. But after the last layoff and not being able to find something that wasn't pure tech support for less money that I had been making before, I had to make a difficult decision. And that decision is going to finally lead to the salary I want.
But what you're saying is "they don't deserve it, I do!"
As if this is a zero sum game.
Again, it's really not.
Everyone deserves the same chance for reward for doing the same work. Everyone.
Then why is it sad that delivery drivers will get a 6 figure salary?
Again...
I had to leave a 20 year IT career in order to get what I was looking for. Delivery drivers deserve every last cent they fought for. It's just a shame that IT works don't have someone fighting for them collectively.
Again
Why. Is. It. Sad. That. Delivery. Drivers. Get. A. Six. Figure. Salary.
Nothing else you're saying takes away from the fact that you literally said this.
I've edited my comment for clarity.
Seriously, stop focusing on your misinterpretation of a single statement...
That's all I wanted! When you make a communication error, correct it. Don't just argue about it lol
I repeatedly clarified my position. I wasn't arguing about it, I was correcting your misinterpretation.
No, you accused me of misinterpreting what you said by leaving things out, but that's not what happened. The quote I was drilling down on clearly said one thing, even though you meant another, but instead of just saying "oops, what I meant was" you came at me!
I was just telling you what you sounded like. "Evident". It wasn't evident, it was poorly phased.
Right. You couldn't get past your misinterpretation of a single statement, and ignored everything afterwards that clarified that statement. If you feel that I "came at you", that again is a misinterpretation. You're being confrontational. And I'm ending this now.
I didn't misinterpret shit. I interpreted it the only way it could be read. You miscommunicated.
