The sanctimonious hypocrisy of the profession makes me shake my head in dismay. Look at what’s happening in Hong Kong, all those A scalers on very lucrative contracts who derided the ones who joined on lesser contracts, all of them now rushing to sign contracts which when compared to their previous salary is like flying for free. Hubris has a way of biting you in the rear end.
That high moral ground is a slippery slope, beware when preaching from it.
Do I think flying for free is a good thing? Of course not. But I’d never belittle someone else’s desperation to pursue their dream.
