[...] In the neoliberal capitalist idiom, in the shadow of a system that is endlessly taking revenge on us in a myriad of ways we are invited to imagine our personal revenge in precisely the terms offered to us by that system. The bullied or fired worker dreams of becoming the boss. Indeed, the latest wave of digital hyper-exploitation germane to the "gig economy" is sold to workers as a kind of revenge against what is presented as an older, formal, hierarchical employment economy: be your own boss, work hard, and eventually you will be richer, happier, and more successful than the boss who once bullied and harassed you. Apocryphal tales of the culture of Wall Street and investment banks speak to the way new recruits are hazed, harassed, hyper-exploited, and abused to make them hungry for a form of revenge that will impel them up the corporate ladder to one day lord it over their inferiors in turn.
