Your response implies that tech workers are mentally more fit than those who work for UPS. This is flatly untrue, if tech workers are so damn smart, why don't we unionize? We would make a ton more money, have better work life balance, and job security! It's the same story for every industry, unions are the antidote to capitalism death cult.
