    As a lifelong kitchen worker I truly don’t understand how anyone who works in the service industry can be anything less than the farthest to the left you can be.

        I can’t find any references to it now when i went googling, but in my first job at McDonalds they automatically enrolled us in the McUnion, which meant that we didnt need to bother with joining a real union.

        16 year old me didn’t see too much of a problem with this. Randomly thought about it recently like what the fuck was that how did they think that would work and then how the fuck did we let that work.

          Many companies have avoided the whole union issue with profit-sharing, which is actually a nice benefit but also something the company can take away if the employees unionize. But “McUnion” - srsly? Did they have McBenefits lol?

    Righties can’t separate the human from material value. OP in the screenshot was absolutely gearing up to judge people based on their job, which is a good red flag to avoid someone at all costs.

    Unless they’re a cop. You can judge them all you want.

    I fix soda/pop equipment, I love what I do. I’m slowly going insane though, we’ve been trying to find a second tech for 2 years now but people just don’t work out, it’s a sticky dirty job but it’s fuckin fun and you get to goto cool places and see cool shit like strippers.

    People struggle with the lack of structure, we have like 10 calls a week at most and half the time they are bunched up so you may have 3 shop days where your just fuckin around fixing shit. Jobs ment for someone who enjoys soda and learning how shit works.

    I develop software for the largest underground iron mine in the world. It’s always fun to say “I’m a software engineer, I work with mining” because most people’s reaction is “oh god, not crypto right?”

    It’s not crypto, but we’re still destroying the environment!

    In my free time I homosexually walk my dog, I enjoy gay cooking, I homo read books, I same-sex play games with friends, and queer do a whole bunch of other things.

    <Joke 'splanation>

    I’m joking on the idea of homosexual marriage, because it’s fun to extrapolate it into us gay-verb everything.

        Those are solid ironic examples. It’s normal, sadly, yeah. Like wearing non-zero drop, narrow toebox shoes, especially high heels. Or polyester. Or branded clothing. Or flipflops. Normal but dismal.

            They’re a hazard and should be only worn — in their safety form — by asian workers in heavy industry.

            Wear sandals. Crocs are made out of crushed dreams and lullabies.

      The trump administration has kinda ruined the Aerospace field for a while. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

      Ontop of that, the push to commercialize space has kind of made doing it a lot less satisfying.

      Can I join in on this dream? Aerospace really tickles my fancy, but it feels impossible to get a job in it that’s not destroying the environment and/or making bigger bombs.

    I work for for a health insurance company that tries to be a market disruptor that brings prices down. I vote to put myself out of a job at every opportunity, and realize that if my company goes under my only skills are for evil.

    Yeah I’m drunk right now, why do you ask?

      I thought the schools were doing the sex change operations after parents dropped them off? It’s hugely inefficient to split the workload between schools and hospitals. I’m a retired software engineer who optimized business practices.
