Are u anons ready for slavery again, without even being fed by porky this time

>porkies trying to prevent workers from quitting
>using already existing indentured slavery model, where you have to pay off company loans
>trying to make it apply to on-the-job training now as well
>prevented nurses and other essential workers from leaving to other hospitals for hell
>pushing to make it wider
>Rightard states rejecting any legal challenges
>calling them TRAPs to rub it in

Yeah no shit. Anyone who stays in America is retarded. What do you expect from a country born to bootlick the wealthy?
>MUH WAR OF INDEPENDENCE
<WE FOUGHT FOR LOWER TAXES ON OUR ELITES
retarded country. retarded people. retarded system.

America never left slavery.
If we are entering slavery again, that would mean loan debt and compulsory law never existed between 1865 and 2025

I applied for it because I desperately need a job and they gave me an 'audition' (wtf?) and it is like I am meant to be a performer or something. My friends say its a strip club but online apparently its not. I don't want to be a stripper BUT I NEED A JOB. Is it worth trying or is it sex work? Damn on the googile images it really looks like a strip club.

I think you're the jokester, considering I cleared more on a Thursday night at bars than in a whole week at taco bell, and that's the third biggest money night.

>bouncing your tits around is "sex work"
what the fuck does sex mean to americans

>>1220
You're asking the wrong people about sex

>>1219
It depends on what kind of bars though

Whoever came up with using AI for tech support chat is a genious and a liberator, a hero of modern IT workers.
I fucking hate doing tech support. Blessed be LLMs.

>Talking to people is a skill. Communicating with people is a skill. De-escalating people is a skill. Troubleshooting is a skill. Tech support workers are skilled workers. Corona just fired, what was it, 700 of their tech support workers and replaced them with AI. So now what are those tech support workers going to go do? Get a job at the fucking McDonald's like everybody else? Get 10 hours? AI hasn't liberated anybody. It's only made the rich richer. That's fact. This AI shit isn't a liberation of anyone, except for your wallet into the rich people's fucking pocket.

Become a clerk or something

>>1086
also complaining about the deskilling of labor, an inevitability of capitalism, is the petit booj as fuck lol. as expected from the "zine" content creator

>>1113
Most of the jobs being deskilled are non-technical jobs anyway.

>>1117
The people who are the most pissy about AI are usually people who don't do any essential work.
They usually do hobby work.

They're averse to blue collar jobs in the first place.

Depends on the type. Some system and network admins know the entire product catalog of CISCO, but use PCs in a manner barely more agile than a boomer

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.

Am up 80 applications so far but no bites yet. Lots of internships applications too, and have been pumping out personal projects for the portfolio.

So did finally manage to get out of bed and get to looking at least.

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

You live in a 90's coming of age comedy film.

>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

Well, we never really left the 1990s. I mean most of our pop culture producers now are mainly Gen X and Millennials.

>It's not that bad to be stuck in a classroom filled with other kids who are prone to acting out and making your life hell and making you tempted to ruin your life.

>Work is hellish. I mean who knew making things that help society run efficiently was so degrading? I wanna be a lazy bum all day! The world owes me for not having that stupid teenage adventurism

>>917
It's funny how society will ban kids from recreational or industrial activities over isolated incidents but when frequent incidents happen in academic activities, nobody wants to restrict/vet

Actually, most image board users are the biggest romantics for schooldays.

Anybody know of any good job sites for part-time work, ideally uk based? I’ve been using indeed for a while but it’s shit, i’m just looking for bar work or something before i head off to university in the autumn but every job site i’ve checked (cv library, reed, etc) are just filled with garbage jobs that i’m either not qualified for, are too far, or are just email scam type jobs

>>1009
for service job the old fashioned way is still the way, at least that's my experience. Print a lot of cvs with a good and simple presentation, lie about experience ALWAYS, prepare a route in your town to cover as many restaurants/bars as possible, and walk and talk. Say hello to the people, look for the person in charge, and then just humbly say thay you are looking for work

Pic rel has been pretty helpful in my job hunt.
Helped me filter out a bunch of jobs wouldn't qualify for.
Might still not get what I'm looking for though.

wrong. you may as well say peasant are reactionary. truckers went on strike in canada and threatened to collapse economy. the glowie unions denounced the strike and functioned as scabs.

Are master's programs really just cash cows like everyone keeps telling me?

Tldr all the arguments I hear against doing one:
>costs too much
>easier admissions process
>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

I have yet to find a professional Master's degree that is actually useful. MBA? Trash. MPH? Double trash.
The only reason to get a master's is if you want to work towards a PhD and live in academia. The only graduate degrees worth a damn otherwise are medicine, law, dentistry and perhaps engineering.

>>351
OP I am going to be frank with you: Discussions about college degrees on the internet are 99.99% vibes-based and people who have no understanding of the subject think they're qualified to talk out of their ass about it. In particular people who fellate "the trades". It's become a cultural signifier, there's basically no facts involved and even the anecdotes are unreliable at best.
I would speak with an actual counselor and figure out what exactly your future career prospects would look like, and then with that baseline you can do further research from there. Obviously the counselor is part of the university so they wouldn't give an absolutely objective viewpoint, but they would still give you a general idea of what exactly it is you're looking at career-wise.
Is it actually true that you could get a job with the degree you already have? Have you tried to figure that out? You would know better than us. It's your money/debt, your desires, your time.

Bruh, I hear more people fellating college degrees and treating trades as fascist breeding grounds

I want do individual entrepreneurship playing music for money, what is the most effective instrument to get the most money in street busking *(without singing)?
I'm thinking accordion, bagpipes, guitar or violin.

They get actual chump change where I live, its so fucking miserable, the working conditions are awful and the pay is so shit its compareable to a street sweeper. I did 2 months at mcdonalds, NEVER AGAIN.

>>1051
This is why general schooling should be mainly vocational, especially in poor areas.
Once you graduate, you get free waivers to good colleges.

>>971
OP what is the point of this thread? Do you even play an instrument already lol? The best way to get a living as a musician and something even people who went to Berkely or Juliard do is to play weddings and etc. But like I just pointed out, these are top tier musicians working for basically chump change in the first place. You're not going to make a living busking especially if you're not already like some master musician.

The Irish Uilleann Pipes - an instrument so impressive that learning it will keep you fed, clothed, and welcomed wherever you go. In the summer i'd make more money busking than I would in a day job.

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.

>>821
good idea. rightoids and stormfags do this all the time.

is it betraying humanity and earth, to seek employment in oil-offshore plants, or mining sectors, namely as specialised truck\crane operator, or, as any other sort of qualified technician?

>>1045
That's an individualist vision of the world. Capitalism won't survive because you go in the banking sector. Climate change won't get worse because you work for an oil company.
What matters is the action of collective subjects.
