/labor/ - Labor

I used to think differently about service jobs for years as I wasn’t one of those “if it isn’t blue collar it isnt a real job” socialist nut heads, but my feelings for that idea has shifted towards it for different reasons.

I dont think a socialist movement is possible of servitude and service work is allowed to continue. It took ages to illegalize slavery and yet there is more of it than ever—mainly through the never ending flood of terrorist and kidnapping groups that make eradicating the problem fucking impossible without eradicating kidnapping.
Service work doesn’t fair much better as it is only barely above servitude and slavery in terms of dignity but falls back to that status if public services are ever bought out and stolen by private actors.
Outside of being undignified, these jobs just flat out and do not have to exist in a socialist society. They’re just bad jobs period and it would be better for everyone if they went away. No one really needs a consultant, housekeeper, motivator, receptionist, gig workers, restaurant service workers, or whatever other petty job that a person—a normal person—can do themselves without guidance.

I won't lie I forgot this board exists for stuff like this.
Hi landlord problems guy here again.
They threatened to take us to court again, not in a "Do this or else" way but in a "We will soon." way. They did at first but now they said they'll do it.
We've been gradually paying off debts as agreed as a additional fee on top of regular rent, we paid rent on time, as far as we're concerned we've done nothing illegal, if anything they might be like someone else said.
Only question left now is do we ask for why they're taking this to court or do we just wait for a legal summons to court. Some of us are confident they won't as they have no ground to stand on, I less so, the bourgeoisie and especially property management are the exact type to drag things to court over the smallest things.
NY State law by the way, last I checked they can't evict over unpaid debts especially if they're already being paid in a constant stream as objectively the debt is gradually being paid. They're literally just mad they aren't getting money back fast enough.

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

Yeah, but this thread is ideally more specific and focused.

Anyway, add 'em if you got them.

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.

fellow burgers I need some toptier tax dodge tips. I dont want to pay the american empire, how can I dodge taxes like bezos on a small scale.

So far I see theres some roth ira credit which im going to take, i can deduct selfemployment part of taxes, going to max education credits. I donno how far I can go without being audited, but id rather pay a lawyer 10k to deal with it than give us empire money

Thread for being a based cheap piece of shit. Share your hottest penny pinching tips, anticonsumerist bias, environmentally dubious upcycling, or any number of ways you get dirty looks for saving every dollar you earn.

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?

How the fuck are you supposed to apply for an academy for a profession where they already require you to have prior knowledge and skill for it when you want to fucking learn it? I want to study to become a 2D animator and the requirements literally require me to make a fucking short film even though I have not been taught how to before. And I cannot find any private tutoring for 2D animation so I can actually prepare to apply.

how does one go about getting a job as a carnie? a traveling fair person? a worker who works at one of these? I had a one night stand (well two night) with a chick who did this, so i know it's still a viable thing
