Class Traitor

Somebody born to the lower class or "proletariat", who worked their way up in society to the point that they have moderate influence in a firm or organization, but has abandoned their modest roots in favor of mimicking the bourgeoise, even feeling in a sense that they are a part of them and that they have the right to treat their former class as inferior

: "Hey I heard Howie became a supervisor at the factory."
"Yeah, but he's all drunk with power now, did you hear he fired his own cousin for clocking in late once!?"
"Damn, that's cold, money changes people doesn't it."
"That's not even the worst of it, rumor is he actually fired him because his daughter has cancer, her healthcare was a drag on the bottom lime, I hear he justifies it as "Pressure from the higher ups."
"Wow, what a class traitor, petit bourgeoise scum"
