Open Insulin are an amazing co-op, and unlike most they aspire to be more than a coffee shop. They are trying to create a pharmaceutical co op that will distribute insulin to people with diabetes. They are in the process of fully developing their production techniques.

Sounds based, hope they succeed

That's cool, but unrelated to communism.

a worker-owned co-op developing open-source medicine is literally communization in action comr8

fuck off

This is very cool. We should do the same for HIV meds.

I'm ready to quit the job I have right now. I work in a shitty supermarket in the hood. My job right now is basically getting verbally abused by thugs all day and I can't take any more of this.

I need a job that I'll be able to do while also attending college. Something with as little human interaction as possible. I was thinking of applying at the post office but idk

Depends but I think mostly no. Obviously armed yea, but most are just unarmed sentries just there to notify the cops. If you are open to night shifts there might be a lot of opportunity for that kind of work wear you literally don't have to talk to anyone your whole shift.

Why are service workers despised?
They're constantly berated by customers
Teachers and Parents treat it like the lowest possible job one can have
Pay most of the time is minimal

Because those kind of jobs are just used as some hangout space.
Alot of employees and managers see the job as a financial hobby to do or a stepping stone to better work.

The moment this site bans tor users, is the moment it improves 10 fold.

Its sad that retail and restaurant workers tend to laugh or smirk when I call them "Ma'am" or "Sir". Like they're in disbelief by the acknowledgement of their humanity from a fucking customer. People really do just put them through the ringer. Unironically emotional labor.

classism? its some kind of holdover from when aristocrats treated 'the help' like subhuman animals, but now you get to be the aristocrat when off work and people at work are the subhuman. the wonders of capitalism

I think of:

>Medical Debt Collector
>Pharmaceutical Lobbyist\ healthcare company negotiator (meaning; uses legal and other tactics to make CLIENTS pay more, have less benefits)
>specialised pro-landlord Lawyer\ pro-gentrification legislator

These are pretty good

I just got a call back for a sales job to basically entice people at malls and Costco to download this sports betting app

You'd think this would be the worst time to tell people about online gambling wheuyghs cost an hour's wage and people have no faith at all in their system but the opposite is true

People will look to copes. One of which is miraculous successes. especially something like sports betting where they can tell themselves it's skill more than blind luck.

I don't do it for the money.
I do it because I hate you lol.

Blue collar work breaks your body, but white collar breaks your soul.
If it wasn't for the physical constraints I'd love to to this more regularly…

White collar work actually does that more.
All that sitting down at desks all day staring at computer screens affects your health and it makes your spirit numb with all the focus on numbers.
Humans and supplies are seen as elements of mathematical sentences

I work retail and I got sciatica and hip problems and I'm only 33 fuck this shit

If we say that retail and food-service aren't "blue-collar" they're "dog-leash" I agree with this. General labor like warehouse stuff feels like just getting paid to exercise but trying to tank aggro from an endless stream of burger-crazed salaroids will take everything from you

>ohhhhhhh my poor le soul!!!!!!
Lol. White collar work is much better and cushier than blue collar work, what the fuck is this shit.

>>938
I remember seeing a bunch of articles and shit a few years ago about trying to find ways to deal with the back problems office workers get sitting down all day. I'm not saying it isn't a problem, but they can go for a walk or do some damn stretches, nobody's tryna figure out how to help our asses standing up and actually doing shit all day.

Not really something I've encountered at all in the logistics industry. You'll get paid less, but working for a small/medium sized company that isn't primarily software oriented is a much comfier lifestyle.

Practice a lot. If you get a good interviewer doesn't matter how well you do the problem, but about how cool your are, how communicative you are, and if you can think of different strategies even if they're wrong. Structuring code, naming variables correctly, stuff like this.

Practicing is very important and will give you an edge. Finally it's a numbers game, you need to go through this humiliation ritual several times, and face rejection. Think of it like practice.
>t. Have worked for Big Tech, in several countries around the world, senior engineer, have interviewed numerous people as well.

Anybody here been a network tech?
I'm in school about to graduate with a degree related to networking after switching over to it when I realized that I hated coding. I'm not expecting to make >40k to start off with, but I'm worried that I don't have enough experience to skip over more help desk stuff (did that last year) and that hating coding will bite me in the ass, since one of my instructors mentioned that the orchestration that lots of companies are turning to is more reliant on coding the control plane than loading up a config onto a switch/router.
I'm also very weak so I don't think going the cabling route will necessarily be a path forward either.

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.

The problem is, leftism nowadays has chosen the service worker as their poster child
Trades are looked down upon as petit bourg reactionary.

People think that doing service industry jobs are the only stepping stone to success.

>??? Whatever. Personally, I support education as there are way too many people that are illiterate and largely don’t know much going on in their own societies much less the planet at large.

Since the 1970s/80s, college has become the more common experience for prime age adulthood
More people spend their youth in schooling than ever before.
And despite this, we still have so many people being labeled illiterate.
Interestingly enough, the people we look down on for being illiterate are master craftsmen. They know how to build fences, fix cars, change door locks, even make elegant meals from scrap.
Also they tend to have more direct experience with other parts of their geopolitical region.


>Universities do a lot to socialize people into communities as they do work with other organizations (at least the credible ones) to gather patents and data on emerging fields.

>Nothing pisses me off more about Western society than the ass backwards notion more work means less rank. And people will actually look at you confused when you give them attitude and tell them flat out you work twice as hard as them so either shutup and listen, or this project can fail. The end.


Their is the common assumption that the elites don't do any work at all. That they're all party animals who have their genitals wipe constantly by maids

CEOs have to be in meetings constantly. They don't get to really enjoy the money they make. Most of it has to go to insurance for their jobs and lives.

Most self proclaimed leftists seem to have a bit of entitlement about them. They feel they deserve more toys but they don't wanna put in work to earn it.
They support lumpenproles as some misunderstood heroes who should be funded for their "careers".
Most lumpens would either rather have a decent job or would kill/rape children an homeless for monetary gain if there were no consequences.

Capitalist services produce no value. Capitalist services are imperialist phenomenon. Capitalist services destroy value. Capitalist service workers are not proletarians.

The export of capital sets a mark of parasitism on an entire country which lives by exploiting the peoples of other countries and colonies. The capital invested abroad forms a continually increasing proportion of the
national wealth of the imperialist countries, and incomes from this capital an ever increasing element in the income of the capitalist class. Lenin called the export of capital “parasitism squared”.

Inseparably connected with increased parasitism of imperialism is the fact that huge masses of people are divorced from socially-useful work. The army of unemployed grows and the surplus-population engaged in services to the exploiting classes increases, as also of those in the machinery of State and in the incredibly inflated sphere of circulation, intensifying exploitation of the proletariat.

The decay of capitalism is further shown in the bribing by the imperialist bourgeoisie, out of its profits from the exploitation of the colonies and dependent countries, of a small upper stratum of skilled workers—the so-called labour aristocracy—by means of higher wages and other sops. With the bourgeoisie’s backing, the labour aristocracy seizes the leading positions in a number of trade unions; it forms, along with petty-bourgeois elements, the active core of the right-wing Socialist parties and constitutes a serious danger to the working-class movement. This stratum of unproductive workers who have become bourgeois is the social basis of opportunism.

The opportunists essentially play the part of agents of the bourgeoisie in the labour movement. By splitting the ranks of the working class the opportunists justify imperialist parasitism and idleness, preventing the workers from uniting their forces to overthrow capitalism. This is one of the reasons why the bourgeoisie still continues to hold power in many countries.

Yes, I would literally kill and rape EVERYBODY if there was no consequences.
Hell, I'd do it anyway. Fuck your consequences. There's a mod right in front of you. Dox and kill him or you have NO LEGAL RECOURSE for me. NONE, you fucking cuck letting that pedo psycho just sit there banning and harassing us. That alone has given me all the legal privilege I need to do whatever I want whenever i want. I have legal authority to give people authority to shoot up schools. My entitlement supercedes the faggot president of the United States of Amerikkka

Why is it socially acceptable if not encouraged in all political axes to hate work but it's considered blasphemous to hate school?

Why is it that whenever I ask most people what they learn in school, all they tell is the dumb shenanigans they committed, even to the point of wanting to officiate "rites of passage" based on dumb reckless childish stunts, but they cannot remember one intellectual thing?


Whenever adults are asked to help with schoolwork, their minds are blank. Whenever it comes to bullying, they have no backbone except for punishing victims for self defense.

I notice that the people who miss school the most usually are those with no work ethic or people who kinda have some unfulfilled teenage quests.

I'm not against schooling, but we need to revamp it entirely. Trying to segregate worldly factors from the classroom for the sake of "protecting the younguns" usually results in an immature society.

I believe a lot of our problems with labor and education is due to how modern society views them as parallel worlds with differing rules.

School should reflect the workforce in social treatment, type of tasks, and infrastructural design

>why do people get nostalgic over hanging out with friends and getting free food in a building with AC/heating when compared to actually going to work
Imageboard mindset lmao just cuz you thought you were to smart for the normies to cope doesn't mean everyone else had the same experience lmao. its not even BlAsPheMouS to hate against public schooling ppl do all the time they just recognize sitting around and goofing off with the other middle schoolers isnt the same thing as a going to work. only imageboard mfers be saying stupid shit like this get a fucking job
