/labor/ - Labor

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

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

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.

>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?

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?

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.

My friend works as this and messed up an interview at Apple for the same role. The job is pretty much deadend and sticking out will be an uphill battle as its really just like a factory line. You can try going above and beyond by asking ur manager if you can help with random shit or take work off their plate. Hopefully your at a good company that does internal promotions, otherwise it will be the same. Your next move up would be a data auditor and data quality guy

just making sure for a question, this is the site correct? and if so would this possibly be a good side-job to do whilst I am primarily a lumberjack? applying now but wouldn't know about this otherwise, if so thanks OP

mcDonalds has done a lot to propagandize culture into believing that
>fast food workers do not deserve tips
from not putting in a system in place to tip workers
to actively discouraging workers in training to not ask for tips to buying and supporting any form of media that encourages you not to tip fast food workers.

tips are fucking atrocious. just like getting paid by production

>>1023
is there a real reason to tip people like cashiers or mcdonalds workers? especially if it's one of those pooled automatically applied tips, just seems like price hikes disguised as some sort of charitable action so the consumer feels better about paying

>>1023
>le consumer politics
fucking nobody reads engels' on the housing question

I get a loaf of store brand bread from my grocery chain for about $2.50
Look into rice, you can get a big bag from mexican/latino stores for cheap my gram used to do that.

uygha literally just buy actual noodles in bulk packs, the right types cook in less than two minutes (less stove cost), and it encourages you to put actual nutrition in there instead of salt, salt n salty.
daily reminder that the dominant flavor in indome mee goreng is MSG. Taste raw MSG crystals and you will know I'm not joking.

>doesn't even list a country or date
terrible chart. absolutely disgusting. the fact that you reuploaded it on this site is worrying.

Therea an app called Too Good To Go, it let's you buy like a mystery bag of food from stores that's close to its expiration date. It depends on the store but at my grocery store we give some nice shit for cheap, its supposed to be $30~ worth of product for $5 last time i checked.

Here's one. I call it the Amazon Forever Warranty.
Say something you own breaks or wears down. Just buy the same item on Amazon and return your old one for a full refund. I have abused this policy for years. I think below a certain price threshold, they just don't care because I've sent returned incorrect items with no question. I must have stolen several thousand dollars worth of merchandise by now.

Condoms do sound like a goid thing to steal. I'll never use them but they're good to have. I say razors and razor blades the stores made them so hard to purchase that I wouldn't feel particularly bad just swiping them.

Also commit time theft as much as possible.

I used to work in a food packaging factory and alot of food got wasted if it was even slightly defective so id smuggle a few packs out every so often.

Where the fuck do you work? A brothel?

Best I can get is staples, pens, paper and premium tea for the important meetings.

I found the office floor with sharpies. And just after I trimmed my booty hairs too.
