There is this type of worker they call a scab.  These are workers that offer to work in the vacancy left over from striking workers.  Naturally they aren’t liked by regular unionized workers because they hurt the union’s bargaining power and drive down wages.

Something similar happens with high status people who ignore low status people.  If a high status person were to engage a low status person like they were a human it would send a message that lifestyles besides working yourself into the ground were OK.  But very few people would work themselves into the ground if our culture decoupled your worth as a person from how much money and status you had.
