How come nobody worries about tipping McDonalds workers?

except where thers tip pooling, wich ironically defeats the entire supposed purpose of "tipping"

Myth. Most fast food workers are parents.

americans cut the tip of their penises off and pay tips in restaurants
the only tips they don't like are weight loss tips! LOL

I applied for it because I desperately need a job and they gave me an 'audition' (wtf?) and it is like I am meant to be a performer or something. My friends say its a strip club but online apparently its not. I don't want to be a stripper BUT I NEED A JOB. Is it worth trying or is it sex work? Damn on the googile images it really looks like a strip club.

Am only replying because no one else has yet; really have no knowledge to share.
They seem to be working with the label "technically not a strip club".
So dances on the bar rather than elsewhere, and no full nudity.
You seem to have reservations but are in need of money so are considering it anyway.
Maybe you could go and see what it's like or if you would be up for doing that sort of work?
It's criminal if there isn't work for able hands, and increasingly no safety net.

It's in between hooters and a strip club, with sightly better food than an average strip club and vastly better food than hooters. You won't be expected to disrobe on the clock, but the likelihood of sexual harassment is probably pretty high, especially from drunk customers. Best of luck regardless of what you end up doing

What makes you motivated to wake up each week day and begin another days work? Am personally not particularly motivated by things, so am looking for something of another form. Am currently a student more or less dreading and finding it difficult to imagine enjoying most of my life. Am looking for a perspective to stop dreading the future working so much.

Know statistically that most American workers are "very satisfied" with their occupation, but find this confusing. Who would want to work? Suppose someone who rationalized, or someone who earns money by coincidence (their interests and aspirations by happenstance being economically viable). Is there some way out of this?

>The brain seems to be wired where rewards like this just don't motivate. Being motivated solely by necessity seems like it be just a dreadful, slavish, existence, but it doesn't work for me anyway.

Listen to George Carlin's take on motivation.
He says motivation is troublesome because the people who have it are usually up to no good.

>The people who are motivated are the ones causing all the trouble! Stock swindlers, serial killers, child molesters, religiopolitical conservatives? These people are highly motivated!

I think the alternative to working would be doing something for fun (hobbies), or doing nothing and being depressed. Everything costs money, and I don't like the idea of living on benefits.

Why is it ok to criticize work but when I criticize schooling, it's considered wrong?
Schooling has far more dross than working.

It's true though, both parts.
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them
Knew so many people in my program who looked down on me for taking a university IT job. Some of them still unemployed when I left that job after half a year
>One well crafted email to the manager or HR is worth at least 10 spam applications and takes less time
You might as well copy paste your resume into the trash can if you don't try to put it in front of a human. Only using ATS is a retard filter. The HR guy at my old job told me as much (before they stopped hiring and started outsourcing to latam).

>>1175
>IT job.
Isn't "using someone else's PC" a totally different skill set from programming?
How could you get a job where your qualifications are completely orthogonal?
e.g. wtf is active registry, just know it's somehow related to gconf which had never been installed on my machine?
And there's apparently a whole suite of Microsoft tools for when LaTeX isn't installed, etc.
And then there's the part where you're supposed to explain things to people.

>>1175
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them
A bad job can potentially pigeonhole your career and doom you to a dead-end niche which will be hard to get out of

>>1175
>It's true though, both parts.


Which "both parts"?
Alot of STEM grass are stuck in deadens jobs with suboptimal pay and they're accused of entitlement?

I've been thinking of buying stocks, futures, and maybe even gold with the few laborbux that I can spare. I want to build up some kind kind of wealth that I can fall back on if I'm ever unemployed for some time or if I have an emergency. Is it immoral by leftist standards to invest in the stock market or is it okay?

Morality == moralism. Even if consider ethics as inherently "formalized morality," it is still a better framework than just random morality soup.

>>1193
Oh my bad, you’re right, spreading class consciousness is NOT something communists should

How do you suggest we organise a revolution then, you absolute retard

>>1177
To some extent it's life or death. It's for paying for care in your golden years, or when the strike fund isn't enough. You're exploiting, but it seems no one's given another option.

Think what's meant by the opposition to morality here is quite different from the opposition to moral feelings. Or else it's a coping mechanism for all to intense moral feelings.

>>1196
To take a nearly indefensible position it might not even be immoral to start a business. Considering that the proletariats are going to be exploited regardless of what you do. It's like flipping a switch which does the same damage either way.

>>1189
>>1189
WRONG. THIS "JOKE" IS NO JOKE. OBJECTIVISM IS RANCID GARBAGE. HOW CAN MORALITY BE OBJECTIVE IF IT ONLY SERVES THE FEW PARASITES? MARXISM-LENINISM IS THE ONE TRUE MORALITY. LOOK AT THESE SUBJECTIVE MORALIST "OBJECTIVISTS" WHO BREAK THEIR BACKS TO MORALLY JUSTIFY THE UNJUSTIFIABLE

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Whoever came up with using AI for tech support chat is a genious and a liberator, a hero of modern IT workers.
I fucking hate doing tech support. Blessed be LLMs.

>Talking to people is a skill. Communicating with people is a skill. De-escalating people is a skill. Troubleshooting is a skill. Tech support workers are skilled workers. Corona just fired, what was it, 700 of their tech support workers and replaced them with AI. So now what are those tech support workers going to go do? Get a job at the fucking McDonald's like everybody else? Get 10 hours? AI hasn't liberated anybody. It's only made the rich richer. That's fact. This AI shit isn't a liberation of anyone, except for your wallet into the rich people's fucking pocket.

Most of the jobs being deskilled are non-technical jobs anyway.

How do you go about looking for jobs anon?
So far have only skimmed through Indeed and applied to jobs that caught my attention.
Got nothing back from these, but that was before my resume was specialized.

Does anyone here help organize like labor unions and tenants unions and so on?

I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize. It could help mitigate some of the harms of the nonprofit activist industrial complex by giving more power to the workers instead of the CEOs. I'm sure lots of NEETs here interact with social programs. It takes five seconds to ask your support workers if they've looked into unionizing.

Anyhow would love to your thoughts on praxis in general

So in my city we have a very strong "Social Sector" branch of a major trade union in part because of this and it works pretty damn well. The skills people who work for charities can bring to practical union organising are immense and ideologically they are already pretty onboard. Same with the tenant union, a lot of htem come from an ant-homelessness and housing advice charity so all of the knowledge is built-in and shared pretty effectively through the organisation.

>synthesism doesn't get the goods
How so?

In December 1912, the UMWA had sent 21 "recruiting teams" to the Southern Colorado coalfields. These recruiting teams generally consisted of two union men: one who would embed himself among the miners and another who would find employment with the local management. Working in tandem, each pairing would locate miners who were opposed to unionization and report them to the company as union sympathizers—an offense that generally resulted in contract termination—in order to covertly replace them with genuine union members. It is possible that up to 3,000 UMWA members were introduced to the coalfields in such a manner.[20]: 10–11

hmmmm

>I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize.
I've recently begun considering social work as a career path is it worth it?
