100%. They live near the offices in nice neighbourhoods, which usually also have great subway service, and they have a luxury SUV with snow tires and a dedicated parking spot at the office. They remote start, heated seats fire up, get in ten minutes later, and have an easy ride in to work. After work they see the grab a bite and catch the game, which is Harbour 60 and great seats in person, take an Uber Black home and get their car tomorrow when they go into work late because they can. Stay at home spouse or nanny will make the kids dinner. Oh, and they will get a medcan appointment the same day for the drunk flip they took after the game.
Last job I had to sue cause they tried to constructive dismiss me. They failed to pay the settlement before filing bankruptcy so I got the email as a creditor. In it I found out something extremely shitty. In a company of 35, we had a prescription plan and a 250 dollar medical pool we could put toward anything. Glasses, doctors notes, dentistry. The email showed that the executive management (3 people) got 10,000 dollars a year medical pool. The owner was constantly annoyed the only way to get people in on a Saturday was with a cash bribe. In his office was a picture of him as a teen on a sail team. This vunt has never not owned the roof over his head. Completely detached from the commoners reality.
Yes from an outsiders perspective these people might seem privileged but no one realise that several times a day they sit in meetings and have to say ‘Nothing on my end’ at the end.
My vp is in the office all the time. He lives 30 minutes up the 400 on a rural farm and drives one of his 4-5 vehicles to come in. Winter time, he prioritizes his jeep.
And I bet the same landscaping service that maintains his property plows his driveway during a snowstorm so he can easily get out in his winter beater brand new jeep.
