I have noticed the same thing with my friends who are in Tech and make good HH TC but still stingy AF. On the other hand, I have not so privileged set of friends but are very generous at heart. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/13/why-your-rich-friend-venmo-requests-you-for-4.html
Has nothing to to with tech job. People come from different backgrounds, their family style or how they were brought up plays the major role on how a person manages their finances and life styles.
No one is asking to give away or forgive large amounts. It's small things like not asking for tea/ coffee or small meal reimbursements. If you are making 400-500k, not asking back $20-50 rarely will not make you poor or bankrupt
Again that is just personal styles has nothing to do with their job. Basically they learnt these from the family which they grew up with. I once had two teammates, they are best friends at work. One family dines exclusively at Michilin restaurants, shops at Balenciaga Gucci Hermes. While the other family shops at Costco and mostly cook at home, owns zero luxury items. It is in the end just personal life styles and influenced by their upbringings. Has nothing to do of whether or not they work in tech.
Is this a real thing? If I go out with a friend often one of us gets the entire bill because we trust we aren't taking advantage of each other. The only time I've ever asked someone to Venmo me is if it was a large group and it's too expensive to pay for everyone.
it’s almost certainly not a real thing it’s made up by communist resentment because they want to think rich people are all evil
I come from nothing and the ghetto and no matter how much I make I will never ever do this shit to my friends. This is beyond stingy. 460k TC but not in CA.
Racist to make white people and white passing people the stock image
How is it to always be the victim?
White people are not victims. We are perpetrators of all crimes against humanity.
you people need to go outside or get more friends outside tech. Ive never seen this
Once you make about 100k, the amount of work and effort it takes to get there, you start seeing the value in time. Which is what your money is. Trading time and valuable skill for money.
One more stingy post. 🙄 stingy > debt living
So you think it’s alright to be a free loader and call out those as stingy when they ask you to pay for your own meal? You have some serious issue bro.
If close friends this is never a question. If acquaintances or semi friends yes they’re paying for their own.
Seems like someone got angry that their swe friend didn't want to pay for her and wrote a rant disguised as an article, with anecdotal evidence.
No wonder you take advantage of those not so privileged and they stay where they were.
Oh man $4.00. Such a leech. Not even a drink at Starbucks
