/labor/ - Labor

With my friends I usually go with trying to sell them on workplace democracy first, it's an idea most people with any coherent political beliefs would agree with.

I'm can't offer much advice but good luck with this really anon.

im halfway into electrical engineering, i was between this and civil engineering, hope i made the right choice.

Now that I think about it and have some sense of sudden clarity, my parents have been doing really well as psych majors by offering therapy, the key is that they offer it at a lower than average rate and thus are overworked, but it seems to me that health care in general has been going up, and psychology might be the easiest "medical" field to get into. Its more or less accepted now that LLMs are poor replacement for conventional therapy

medicine and law are always good options

I've heard good things about the Medieval English Literature major at Montclair State University

I think more communists need to start going into manufacturing. I don't mean skilled trades, but straight up low skill assembly-line work. Usually wont require more than an associates or a certificate if even that.

School serves a big factor in capitalism: it frees up women to do labor.
The increase wage pressure that comes from a doubled labor pool more than makes up for the money spent on school.

School also serves as a way of cultural homogenization, breaking up ethnicities and absorbing smaller groups into the mainstream worldview. Basic assumptions like "rich people are awesome!" or "Arbeit Macht Frei!" is drilled into the youth, leading many to adopt capitalist logic in adult life without knowing "why" it feels "right".

Also, schooling can be very unequal, and in most parts of the world it's segregated economically. The poor people's kids go to poor schools, where the poisoned social environment encourages stupidity. The people with money move to neighborhoods or pay for private schools where the other middle-class kids are, and where an environment of good behavior and (slightly better) learning takes place.
The rich kids go to school with all other rich kids for super networking.

Not true. I remember that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
Learned that in skool

You’re a minority.
It’s not just a matter of what was or wasn’t learned in school but rather if you can remember it and if it was essential to industrial affairs

> School also serves as a way of cultural homogenization, breaking up ethnicities and absorbing smaller groups into the mainstream worldview.

This is the biggest gripe I have with schooling. It does cultural homogenization of childhood.
Children whom are ethnic, LGBT, or worldly are seen as dangerous elements.
Children are expected to conform to behavioral stereotypes based on their age

They’re not allowed to wonder about worldly things nor are they allowed to be cynical


>Basic assumptions like "rich people are awesome!" or "Arbeit Macht Frei!" is drilled into the youth, leading many to adopt capitalist logic in adult life without knowing "why" it feels "right".

I’ve never seen this in school. But, Kids are told that hard work alone gets you rich. Which leads to cult of personality.
Also kids are taught about capitalism having flaws but they’re not taught about how to look beyond capitalism

Schools are still accused of being “underfunded” although schools get a lot of taxpayer dollars to do benchmark tests.
But if capitalists really wanted to offset the costs of schooling, why not make schools into workshops?

you will actually get the job because they're afraid of you

Attached is my joke resume. I hope it lightens your day.

its several things
-rubber stamping
-status signaling
-self soothing

Undoubtedly there will be someone in the comments who will make a bad argument as to why
Y'all act like Siberia is for shit posting when clearly labor should be renamed into wagie cagie or labor aristocracy

Storytime: I was hired as a consultant.
It was a staffing agency that called everyone a consultant for the reputation.

From 1950 to 1980, manufacturing went from all in 1 roof to sub assemblies with interchangeable parts to minimize the impact of labor unions.

From 2010 to 2035, all online labor will move over to contracting to avoid certain labor laws and to hot swap staff in the event of unionization.

>>1596
Get back into your wage cagie labor aristocrat.

One of my gigs is as a "consultant." A trained monkey could do this and it's the highest paying gig I've ever had ($36/hr) but I only do it part-time.

>>1655
college isnt even a guarantee of that anymore, even the "useful" majors like CS or business are becoming useless you are the top of the class or have connections

>>1647
they are worse because you need to convince 5-10 people instead of just one person

Just completely bombed a second round job interview I faked my way into.

They all say fake it until you make it but sometimes you until fake it until you meet a hiring manager who is actually competent. This job would have basically made up for all my life failures up until this point and put me on the same level as my peers.

Now I am doomed.

>>1711
>This job would have basically made up for all my life failures up until this point and put me on the same level as my peers.
I doubt that. But my condolences and welcome to the failure club.

Its just a consequence of alienation. Employees are objectified and seen as replaceable parts so they give two shits if what theyre doing is reprehensible or hurts your feels.

>>1712
No, it actually was a FAANG-tier job in my industry. Now it doesn't even matter.

>>1573
this is solved by boomer dying

when I was younger I never understood how people kill their parents, now I get it

Sad that it's the young, entry level workers who are getting fucked as predicted. There is literally no bottom rung of the ladder anymore. I look at people age 18 to 30 in my life and most of them are truly broke. I'm 30 and I only have one friend who owns a home and it's a modest one he needed a partner to afford.

dunno if this is the right thread, but does it seem like tech jobs are picking back up to anyone else? is AI not convincing managers anymore?

>>1605
my feel in the tech industry is that nobody has the money to rehire to previous levels or expand. it's lean times for the orgs that buy software and their IT depts, lots of cost cutting and penny pinching right now, and that means lean times for the software sellers

>>1705
Well no, but that seems true of every industry barring healthcare, we ARE in a recession right now after all. People are struggling to decouple the recession numbers from the AI numbers but I don't think anyone has cobbled together a convincing picture yet

One more tip: Unlike online jobs, this is a great chance to hone your rhetorical skills.

You are always in contact with many comrade employees. Improve your social skills, and you will even be able to engage customers on socialist ideas.

Eventually, you will overthrow your boss to create the Socialist Democrat Soviet Republic of Walmart, when american civil war #2 starts.

Been in the grocery game for 15 years now, get out before its too late. By late I mean injured. I've seen lots of people that get hurt over the years and end up stuck here

>>1613
Last day is today, I'm completely exhausted both physically and mentally, I'm in pain in my entire body, especially lower back and knees, I don't know how people put up to this shit because I'm fucked up in a week let alone a month

>>1639
never worked as a cashier I see

>>1639
Not to mention, i like the super market
It has stuff i like
Like yum yums. I remember working Wal-Mart and would just eat breakfast there. Skittles and monster coffee. That was my breakfast and i liked it. No twat mom to tell me that isn't a meal.

I liked organizing the aisles. I put this box on the shelf. No faggot boss is gonna go out of their way to tell me I'm putting it on the shelf wrong (some will still try…) There's no optics over how i put cereal on the aisle shelf. Ain't noone gonna be sued because the cereal called someone a racial slur or pushed them. (I might though lol)

Same even with cleaning. I mean people are nasty, but cleaning up aisles is fine. Oh your kid vomited? Thats ok. His diet is composed of sunshine, lollipops, and the belief that there's still good in the world. He doesn't goon all day, pretend to be a femboy "not like other girls teehee" than ghost you the minute he gets your cum like a fucking succubus demon. This is why LGBT face violence, this is why Jeffrey Dahmer existed.

Work isn't what makes jobs unbearable…people are.
Not some random ass customer.
Not someone bringing in their cute little dog.
Not even some belligerent crackhead.
The people I see every mother fucking day and still gotta argue with, deal with gas lighting and downright lies. I guess the "we're like a family" part is true. So like family I'm not above throwing a beer bottle at them and pulling their hair out.

Prediction:
1. Get rich quick schemes don't work.
2. Mail metadata is logged. One way export flags you. Many consumers flags you.
3. Risk requires reward. Jail is brutal.

My advice: Install Solar Panels for a living. Wait until AGI and UBI.

That employer is trying to obtain H1B visas. To do that, they have show they tried to fill the position, but no one was qualified.

You can try Fiverr or Mechanical Turk, but the payout is VERY low after all the deductions, maybe half of minimum wage?

You can try small engine, boat engine, or lawnmower repair. Obtain junk from Craigslist, fix it up, sell it for a profit. You may need to invest in tools and knowledge to make the best use of something like that though.

You can use the internet to find tax sales and estate sales. Sometimes you can find valuables here that are sold so cheaply, you can turn right around and sell them for a profit. However, you may need to invest time in learning what to look for and what not to be fooled by.

You can do OnlyFans. Consider doing feet only or similar content if you're shy. Don't forget to write off any purchases on your taxes.

The good thing about not having skills is that you're free to learn whatever you want and build something that's yours. The bad thing about not having skills is, you're very limited in the ways you can make good money to start out.

It's easy. Pull up your local crime map and find the reddest area nearby. Next, go to the ATM and take out as much cash as you can (drug dealers only take cash). Now, go to that red part of town, make sure to dress nice and wear your most valuable clothes and jewelry, then start talking to people. Let all of them know you're looking to become a drug dealer, tell them how much money you have and tell them you'd like to buy some drugs with it. They'll be happy to tell you what to do from there.
