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

never worked as a cashier I see

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.

>>1388
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.

>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?

That's fucked up

You should study the great October socialist revolution.

Creating a participatory/democratic class organization is the correct thing to do. The bolsheviki created the Soviets with other left factions and then struggled democratically within them for political leadership over the movement. If you don't commit to a structural Democratic form of organizing the class you end up in a position where political line gets propagated and accepted on the basis of the technical skills of whatever cadre follow that line not actual mass acceptance of the political doctrine behind it. This leads to an overestimation of forces and political prematurity. You can look at the humiliating failure of the dual union period in domestic communist policy in the United States for a clear view of what happens when you try to organize all of the radical elements and organizations separate from the rest of the class rather than creating democratic class organizations and functioning within them for political leadership. The reason that the strategy of boring from within was defeated in addition to the overall political moment was the fact that existing unions were not democratic, but when you're creating new organizations you don't have that problem. The Union Democratic struggle also allows communists to establish themselves in parallel to the proletariat's overall political task as described by Lenin as " the vanguard fighter for democracy".

its only econonmism if you're purely focused on just extracting concessions. Unions that strike for more than just labor issues are good. Like the unions who striked in minneapolis.

>>1588
There were strikes?

>>1569
as in they realize association among proletarians leading a stateless propertyless moneyless society as a necessity or do they just want welfare reforms?

>>1570
I've directly spoken about marxism and not gotten a negative response so thats hopeful

Networking is just a euphemism people with actual connections use to obfuscate their nepotism.

>recruiting event
Literally pointless. It's basically just one big ad these days. It's just 100x different iterations of 'please apply at our website, scan this qr code'/'we don't have any current entry-level or intern positions available'.

Networking should just become a euphemism for sex or something. It would be a more honest way of getting a job.

>>1576
Yes recruiters literally meet hundreds of students and get thousands of emails, what makes anyone think they’re special or will be uniquely remembered unless they have some special connection.

the "shortage" is overstated. The shortage mostly exists among late career professionals and AI and outsourcing is not helping things either. You'll need a 4 year degree in accounting to get hired anywhere. There are opportunities and certainly not as bad as tech is, atleast right now, but I can't say how it'll be in 4 years.

tbh that's recent now that everything is total shit, every job i've landed except my first two was through linkedin's inbox

>>1448
Why are you even on leftypol if you can't even bring yourself to criticize LinkedIn of all things?

Go stick your face in bourgeois asshole and take a big smell of the farts over on linkedin

>>1558
>Why are you even on leftypol if you can't even bring yourself to criticize LinkedIn of all things?

Are you functionally illiterate? I just explained to you why linkedin is crap. Wow, those corona years really did a number on your people's education.

Just get a goverment job like me
The pay is meh but it's safe and they desperately need people so your CV can be overlooked

half of jobs on linkedin are fake and just there for data harvesting

>serial killer(Yes, I'm from the U.S.)
its hard but if you get into Delta Force you can get paid to be a serial killer.

>>1549
It's just too hard to be a serial killer nowadays. Maybe if it was the 1970s or 80s it could be an actual goal.

>>1546
legit no one ever asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up so I didn't give it a single thought. It ended up screwing me though because I didn't have an idea of what to do in college and switched majors like twice, dropped out, and returned like 10 years later.

>>1550
it's hard to determine,because it's reverse survivor bias,if you don't get caught,you can't appear in the statistics
and if you look at the number of unresolved murders,it's probally either easier than you think,or the pigs really do not give a shit anymore even about the most ethical part of their jobs.

It probably depends on where you work

I always wanted to be an inland waterway boatman when I was younger. I thought the biggest part of the job would be drinking tea and watching the world go by. Don’t know how it really is tho.

Computer programmer. You just sit on your ass all day solving fun puzzles while making huge amounts of money and changing the world for the better.

>>1531
now give us your serious answer

>>1531
I do this except the money isn't huge, just comfy, and I don't make the world a better place. However, the puzzles are fun and I agree it's the coziest job if you have the right personality to stare at a screen all day.

>>1543
I'm sorry but this is ver funny, cartoon villan shit.
