you ever wondered how do giant cranes suddenly get built overnight and you never notice them appearing until they're in place?
anyway making a new general for work in here, thread for all work Know-how, share all the unkown skills you know that are related to your work but most people don't know about/could use knowing

labour intensive work (how to hammer a nail, how to screw a bolt), shitty office work (how to multitask, how to avoid choking your boss, how to spread rumors about a cunt from Human Resources), food work (what we put in your sandwich behind the kitchen, how to mop the floor efficently, how to built tolerance against the smell of bathrooms) trades or STEM (how to argue online your profession is the best using mental gymansium) even sex work (how to suck cocks, how to fuck people in the ass, what to do when he's a shy virgin and he's annoying)

>inb4 i'm neet anti-worker
then share with us what you do to feel the best, how to tie a blanket around your shoulder like the pepe neet, how to get high at home no money paid, how to forge a katana, how to speedrun a game or a book, how to decorate your house in a way that don't make you feel like a miserable wagie

Anybody do wastewater or drinking water? Or if not and you have a problem with your septic tank or whatever I will try to help. I used to feel like a loser when I was still a meritocratic lib starting out working in poo water but I love this shit now.

You know I was thinking, not only are we not salting workplaces, we're not even helping fellow leftists get jobs. I think that's the best mutual aid you can do is help get a fellow leftist a job or a better job. We should have networks getting our people into good gigs.

good idea. rightoids and stormfags do this all the time.

I just found out they tried to arrest the entirety of the staff of two unions over "extortion". Police said the workers were asking for higher wages under the direction of the unions to increase their pay and hence pay higher union fees

This assault on bourgeois labourism will heighten the contradictions and further class struggle. The fire rises

>In 1868, the Money Order Office in London put in a formal request to the Secretary of the Post Office to employ three cats. Their weekly allowance of one shilling went toward food for all three cats. This arrangement was dependent on the new employees’ ability to lower the mouse population- a job they proved born to do!

>The outstanding performance of these brave mousers led to the formal creation of The Cat System, which began hiring at various branches across England. The standard weekly wage was between six and seven pence per-cat, which was barely enough to maintain their morale. Branch managers began to demand wage increases on behalf of the post office cats in order to fairly compensate them with food and healthcare.

>Minnie the cat served a long and successful career as a mouser at the Post Office Headquarters Building in London. Following her death in 1950, the position was passed on to her son, a large 23-pound Tabby cat called Tibs. Earning a certain celebrity status and the title “Tibs the Great”, he was celebrated for outstanding service up until his death in 1964. Sadly, around the same time that Tibs retired, pesticides became widely available which eliminated the need for post office cats on the official payroll.
Tibs is remembered with an impressive legacy. During his 14 diligent years of service as the Official Post Office Headquarters Cat, he kept the building free of mice and raised the standard for the treatment of great mouse-control cats everywhere.

railroad baboon is my favorite one

basically a baboon to assist a paraplegic man in pulling signal switches for trains to stop. look it up. I think it’s the most wonderful thing.

Jack was an employee of the railroad. He belonged to James “Jumper” Wide who worked as a signalman until he lost both legs in an accident. Wide earned the nickname “Jumper” due to his habit of jumping from one railway car to another and sometimes swinging from railcar to railcar. One afternoon in 1877, near Kleinpoort in the Eastern Cape, he attempted to leap to another car and fell underneath the moving train. The massive metal wheels of the train severed both his legs.

Jumper was devastated. Not only had he lost his legs, but he would be of no use to the railroad. He took a post as signalman at Uitenhage station, where he made himself two pegged legs he carved from a piece of wood, and built himself a small trolley he used to get around. Still, he was limited on how well he could perform his job.

One afternoon he was visiting the marketplace in Uitenhage where he saw a baboon leading an ox wagon. He met the owner who demonstrated how smart the primate was. Soon, Jumper was convinced the baboon could serve him well. He pleaded with the owner to let him have the baboon. The owner didn’t really want to give up his favorite pet, but he felt sorry for the crippled man.

He gave the baboon to Jumper and thus began the most unusual friendship in the railroad’s history. The two lived in a cottage a half mile from the railroad depot. Each morning Jack would push Jumper to work on the trolley. He would push the trolley up a hill and once on top of the hill, Jack would jump on the trolley for a fun ride as it rolled quickly down the other side of the hill. Once at work, Jack operated the signals that instructed train engineers which tracks they would take.


The working relationship between Jumper and Jack worked well and the two forged a strong friendship. Many locals would go to the tracks to see if the story of a baboon working the signals was true. Most marveled at how well Jack performed his job.
He knew the difference between the “home” and “distant” signals, and also the engine whistles; and although he was always under the eye of his master, he never made a mistake or required telling twice. Jack was one of the sights of Uitenhage for many years, and his astonishing feats of intelligence was the wonder of all who witnessed them.

Then one day, a prominent lady on route to Port Elizabeth observed Jack working and was horrified at the prospects of a baboon running the signals. She notified the railroad auPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

This was how humans used to work until after the Industrial Revolution when we switched over to pure artificial pesticides.

Instead of chasing away birds from the parking lot., keep them. They help take away trash.

Cannot pay humans to clean up shit because they just half ass and make more mess.

/labor/

is the working name for a series of articles/essays I would like to get off the ground

each month we cover a different job working with someone who has said job as to see what skill that job has, how people might get that job, labor struggles, unionization efforts, the real, raw reality of working hard ass jobs

"dirty jobs but leftist"

not sure the best approach on it, im thinking we want to give it a low to the ground, insider feel, you ever seen the leaked footage animal rights activists take from the factory farm slaughter houses? shits brutal asf, its unmasking, its real shit.

im thinking we can take advantage of the anonymous nature of this board to facilitate real stories/photos/the same kinds of reveals. we could have a pro-salting line, oh shit you work at the worst rated taco bell in Dallas? let's hear about it, let's hear about the guys who got fired for organizing before it even began. that sort of shit. you work at the mechanic shop and your boss stiffed your check? lets hear about the bullshit. that sort of thing but with a bit more of an essayist gleen

>I really should have heard about this through Palestine Solidarity. These people are so disorganised, it's really distressing.
Trades Councils (which organise May Day events) are geriatric even places where they are vibrant, let alone outside of the metropoles. They can't use social media for shit and are very bad at publicising their own events to their own audience (trade unionists) let alone outside of it. Good tip for local anons is to look up "X District Trades Council" (if you live in a small town it will be your local government district) and they will likely have something on their facebook.

Went for ps solidarity group, It was pretty small, maybe only ~100 people. sad.

>>859
As I said anon >>856 (me) unfortunately trades councils are shit at what they are meant to do nowadays. If you have the wherewithal to sit through a dull meeting once a month and pick up the huge amount of missing load I'd suggest trying to get involved to bring things together. They usually won't offer resistance because they want someone young to do these things. Still it will mean you are own your own though.

ITT we share our experiences with the NGO industrial complex while still deluding ourselves that entryism is a valid strategy for anyone except feds and hawks.

This evening I went on a deep dive on linkedin and just googled a whole bunch of political foundations I was interested in and laughed at all the weirdo glowie-adjacent people that work for them.

maybe get some shit on your cv to increase credibility but i wouldn't give it too much thought

Could you try unionizing? Might help protect against getting fired for actually trying to help people.

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.

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.

The entrance exam to the Faculty of Screen Arts consists of an interview with a committee (including the Dean and the heads of all undergraduate majors) based on the materials from the submitted portfolio. During the interview, the committee may also assign practical tasks to the candidates in order to gain a deeper understanding of their skills, knowledge, and artistic reflexivity.


The PORTFOLIO must contain the candidate's CV , presenting where and when he was born, what education he acquired and where, what materials he offers in the portfolio and why, what are the reasons for his desire to receive an education in the field of audiovisual and what (according to him) are his strongest and weakest personal qualities.

tbh i think ur getting brainwormed by capital. even if it is amateur I think if you put love into it theyll understand. although a fucking short film is a lot of work. Although Id do more research to see if the pathway of classes and teachers themselves will be helpful to you specifically bc a lot of artists say its a scam but the ones saying its a scam are also the artists advertising their personalized online course to get you ready for an industry they have not been part of for 5 years bc its more lucrative being an online teacher than in the actual industry

>>752
like theres a lot of materiel you can show by doing a short film. like storyboarding, how your concept evolved from rough to final, color, etc etc. You should probably ask is it an actual short film or more like an animatic? I think they want you to show your skills of critical thinking and problem solving more than your talent bc well talent is the result of critical thinking and if you somehow show evidence of that thinking and solving in your process, no matter how shotty it looks itll gain some merit. although your complaints still do make sense since who tf has time for that. its demoralizing.

oh shit uyghur why did you decide to become an artist? you should have studied medicine like you were told

>>759
Fucking this. I love it when people who have a knack for medicine or engineering or have family connections to those fields decide to throw it away for some non essential career and get pissed about costs and "slop".

We need to stop putting professional arts&craft on the same level of necessity as medicine and engineering.

You suggested it very well.
