I'm a dysfunctional transgender autistic NEET with a large resume gap and a tiny amount of work experience in software development. I'm around 30. I don't feel motivated to sit through corporate bullshit. I was thinking about going into retail and other unskilled labor with the intent to agitate and organize. Is this romantic silliness or is this possible? I don't have experience in retail or food service or political organizing. Also I'm pretty socially dysfunctional. But it strikes me that salting seems like something that would be really worthwhile and I'd really willing to sacrifice for. It feels a lot more positive than any other sort of work I could do. I don't have a family I need to support and so on.

Thanks!
The impression I get is that the easiest mistake to make would be adventurism. You have to work hard and be normie about things for the first little while. Patience and professionalism is the key. Not romantic adventure shit.

Anyhow I do think people who have NEETbux are an undertapped resource for worker organizing. If you're already living off of disability and leaching off family it lessens the threat of firing.

>intentionally go for shitty work instead
Not OP but bait taken: you expect someone to not only get a job in software development in current year, with a gap in their resume, and then salt a union into said software dev job?

I am in cadre/leadership of a union local in retail. It's very rewarding and you should get a service job and organize it. I am trans and had social anxiety disorder before I started working retail but not autism.

Computer jobs are not actually good except for money which doesn't really matter if you are a communist. If you have really bad dysphoria distress and want operations you can get that with a grocery job if you move somewhere where gender care is required by state insurance regulations. In Oregon we also have OHP which gives you face/puss for free if you are part time / poor

You could try living off welfare



 

You do not become unemployed when you quit. You need to register in the labor office, I thought it is easy, but I got it wrong.. What labor office means by unemployed, it is not someone who is not working. It is someone who is looking for a job! In the office they direct you to a job and IMO you can't decline. Also, is not inability to decline the job given - slavery?

Why register? The gobt ask you. If you can't pay city tax, you need to register. If you want to prove your 0 income, to get some heating compensated, they ask you to register. While as you see, you can't register.

Just if you got an impression that modern gobt is somehow humane, I'm not sure.. may be, but as you see, it might be a false imporession, in some cases.

Honestly if you get a job immediately that sounds pretty good at least if they pay you. But it's most likely a very shitty job and that sucks shit. They'll probably also get rid of you quickly which also sucks and then you tossed into another shitty job. Is that how they do it in Moldova?

Hey, I think I got an idea.

So, given unemployed is someone who is looking for a job and labor office duty is to verify you look for a job.. They verify that by giving you a blank that you should bring to an interview, then bring it back to the labor office. Then again, …

Why do that if I can just show them my email account? The messages I've sent, which firms reply to my message, etc. I can allow them to view that.

Labor office also can setup their own email server for unemployed. Which I could use to send my CVs and they can use it to view what I'm doing.

What it also will give them, is a tool the labor office can use to find fake job postings. They will see if the job poster did not reply.

>>1301
Idk, just some rumors. May be yes, getting a job fast likely will be a bottom job. Also will bourgeois use you more or pay you less, knowing you should accept their job? …

Boomp

I've already lived in China for half a year after all.

>>1294
>The program is for tech workers, sweetie, not bloggers.
I think it's more for foreign scientists because China has plenty of tech workers. With anti-rationalism gaining ground in the USA and the aging and decay of scientific facilities like the Arecibo radio telescope, China will be where science takes place from here on out.

I live in the US and work a quality role in manufacturing, and I feel ripped off by these guys on a daily basis. I genuinely believe that at least one person will die using our product due to the parts that China sends us. These things are supposed to be made to the same standard as the satellites that go into space, but I find it hard to believe they're made to any sort of standard.

Can't imagine having to live there.

Same. plus i have a kid, and elders (who are halfway decent people) to take care of. guess i'm stuck in the burger reich.

Bit of a raw rant I'm reporting here, over the miniscule company I work at.

Today we had to finish this Virtual Machine with a DNS resolver in it.
Yesterday my direct superior instructed me that this morning I should finish testing the partial domain update procedure, and then test the overall performance in another location that we have
Thing is, this morning I arrive at the office
And before I even had the time to touch the power up button of the PC, the boss of all bosses comes in and tells me to come into his office so we can test the domain upgrade script
Yesterday it took like 6 people to not make the VM explode during load testing.
We were load testing the whole machine by running the entire script, from head to bottom
Today my boss tries to repeat that, except that as soon as he sees the number of solved DNS queries drop even by the tiniest bit, he immediatly stops the load testing tool
So basically the loss rate is 96% instead of 99% as he wants, because in that particular section that lasts 2 seconds at most the machine slows down
So he sends me to fix that
I spent the whole morning trying to get that fucker to work with a 99% rate
And when afternoon comes he arrives in my office complaining that I didn't update him (about results I didn't get)
Meanwhile the best I managed to get that fucker at is 97.5%
So now it also arrives my direct superior who tells me that I didn't test the VM in the new location

Apologies in advance for how stupid this probably sounds, but just an idle thought:

We all know globalization gives US workers less leverage than ever before, but what if it could be turned around in their favor? What if a bunch of workers in some company in the US decided to form a union and go on strike and they reached out to a competing company in China and made a deal with the Chinese executives where the Chinese company will send the strikers money via Bitcoin or something and in exchange the US workers will not show up at their jobs and the Chinese executives can short the US company's stocks and profit from their decreasing stock prices from the strike. Could the law stop people from doing something like this?

war would happen

>>1346

It already is a war, and the workers are losing.

Would make a cool plot device in a gacha game maybe.

what the fuck is their problem? are they just class traitors?

I just had a technical phone screen with an HR rep who looked like she had fetal alcohol syndome. Why must wagies be repressed by these failchilds?

its not really their fault its just how corporations work. the one example going around right now is where they hire and underpaid immigrant but the conditions of the visa say they have to offer the job domestically first and can only import labor if there is no alternative. so they do fake interviews. its just checking a box to increase profit. if your hr person didn't do it someone else would. they do the same thing when they promote internally to save on retraining. hr isn't any better or worse than any other bullshit job

>>1329
nah but they have a say though, they just choose to remain silent. If the HR managers refused they would either have to lay off the whole department and cripple their hiring (which is an effective strike almost) or just cave and give better working conditions.

These class traitors would never do that though because they are greedy losers that love the feeling over power and steamrolling better workers than themselves. its like acab for HR the good ones probably just get laid off and only the psychos remain

>>1302
lmao no, and CEOs arent proletarian either

>>1317
cops get a lot of benefits everywhere, are you kidding me?

>>1322
>vibes and psych pseudery
just another awesome thread on leftoidpol dot org

>>1329
you are allowed to hate the bourgeois no matter how small (as long as you dont present it as "radical praxis")

It's Monday I within 10 minutes I got 2 rejections back-to-back from two end-stage interviews after dozens of initial applications.

It has never been more over.

>>1337
The end stage interviews piss me off, giga time waste. Like 4 or 5 rounds just so one lazy asshole in the end can fail you.

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.

Hazcel detected, opinion rejected

>>1017
service workers are semi-proletarians. your time is better spent with proletarians, as a proletarian.

>>1083
this is actually really insulting to the other russia movement, pls dlete this

>>1084
That's not what semi-proletarian even means. The restaurant owner owns the real estate (capital) and the service worker is divorced from it. They are proles.

>>690
Industrializing domestic labor is essential to emancipating women and preventing gender division from interfering with class struggle you dunce.

Is the economy really as bad as everyone says right now for jobs? People keep crying online about how theyre not getting anything for months. Just wondering if its even worth applying or its already ogre.

File: 1757630701684.png (59.22 KB, 500x566, lazers bear.png)

It'll settle down but yeah there's better things you can do to make money right now than waste your time on job applications, they're all fake rn.

Go see if your local mom and pop shop still exists, and if they need the trash taken out or an oil change or something. Go see if the local petboojes need their lawns cut or their street number repainted, etc… You won't make much but it's better than nothing.

What is /labor/'s opinion on making content about your job to share on social media? Is this an effective method for spreading class consciousness? (Ignore the genpol shit please)
