Boss making $415K rants to poor employee about first-class international plane tickets costing $20K each: 'My boss makes a mockery of people who fly economy.'

Does she know how out of touch she sounds?

It can be incredibly disheartening and uncomfortable to work for the ultra-rich. I'm not talking about your average, run-of-the-mill boss. Every employee knows that their boss makes more money than they do and can therefore afford a more luxurious lifestyle. Your boss might feel free to eat out every night of the week while you pack sandwiches for lunch and dinner. Your boss might travel when they take their PTO, while you "indulge" in a staycation that costs you nothing. It's a bummer that your work isn't as "valuable" as your boss's, but if they're a normal person, that's incredibly valuable.

It's so much more difficult to work for a rich person who never denies themselves anything than for a normal high earner who doesn't let it get to their head. Rich people who see everyone who is poorer than them as inferior make the workplace miserable. They only care about themselves, and because people rarely say no to them, they get to do so with very little pushback. They can't even imagine what it's like to earn $100K per year, let alone $50K.

The employee in this story has to deal with his boss complaining about the price of international first-class plane tickets. Instead of being grateful that she even has the means to travel internationally, she loudly proclaims that she could ever take coach, even when first-class tickets are around $20K a pop. The worst part is she doesn't even know she's out of touch.

My boss rants about the flights being too expensive. She refuses to fly economy and was laughing at people who do.
