    You’re all working class!!! If you rely on your work for your living, you’re working class. I get what they mean, but don’t forget that.

      The article addresses the fact that it’s a bad definition, but since it is discussing a study they have to work with the definition the study used.

        if you’re only 2 pay cheques away from homelessness in the c suite I can perform some very cost effective consultancy work for you.

          I’m totally working class but I’ve got a year of float saved up or… Like fifteen days of cancer, so hoping those cells reproduce correctly!

            After all there’s more than one way to increase your maximum unemployment time… you make more, lower your living expenses, turn to highway robbery…

        Depends. I’m in the c suite but I don’t have “fuck you” money. Hence, I am stratified into the class of schmucks that have to maintain their jobs, and my solidarity is with them. I don’t think I’ll have “fuck you” money until my retirement. My plan is to fuck off into the sunset, rather than accumulating wealth until I die.
