Uh, yeah, of course. I wasn't saying anything contrary to that.

All I said is that people focus on the FAANG perks way too much, as if they're contributing to some problem. Even in the article, one their shining moments was when they cooked for themselves and found another doctor (??).




Sure, but I think the point the author was trying to make was that those perks, and the way they are sold to employees, are a much thinner veneer over ultra-capitalism than might be expected.

These companies really do sell themselves and their perks to their employees and it’s pretty horrific that they seem willing to attack the victims instead of the perpetrators.
