True for centuries, yes. But the *awareness* is now driven home to workers in #BigTech and other IT fields.
For at least several decades, those workers thought they were especially favoured; well paid, good working conditions, easy to find a better job whenever they wanted. Most thought this was because they were not working class.
The past few years have collapsed that delusion.
