a Homestuck meme in this economy?

Those combination fast food restaurants also usually sell only parts of the regular menu and not the full menu

surprisingly our place has all the food from each place, the only thing missing is a few drinks and the freezes from taco bell (and also we don't do taco bell orders through the online app, which is sad)

Service workers gotta be the most class cucked workers in my experience
>Coworkers would chronically work themselves to exhaustion for pennies
>Kiss up to management and business owners despite constant abuse from them
>Put up with being denied breaks by management because "it's too busy," despite it being against the law
Glad I left that shit industry. Front of house always had some baddies though

The company I worked (and stopped before than happened) for went under last week, the 11th. They have immediatly made another company after declaring bankruptcy, and resumed operations as if nothing happened. Thing is, all 10 of their remaining employees were fired the 9th, right as they arrived at the office. They are not going in the new company. They are not going to be paid for the work they did in September. And they have yet to receive the necessary document to be eligible for unemployment benefits. Some of these peoples are in their 50s, they have worked for them for more than two decades, the sector isn't in good shape, they'll have a hard time finding a job again. Yet they have the gall to go bragging in the media about how resilient they are, and lying about saving their employees.

I was a temp worker, and I had left right before the banks asked them to repay their gigantic debts. So, I'm not involved in this shit directly. But the atmosphere in this shitty enterprise was so bad, I did bond with the employees there, and I feel so bad for them.

If you're wondering about the company, it's a familial SME, and the new one they created to try to mitigated the effects of the bankrupcy pretty much only contains the 5 members of the founding family. So, here's to family businesses.

These customers are weird as shit, I'm a pizza merchant and these mfs will wait over 2 hours for a cheese pizza. Not even a pepperoni or something just plain cheese

>slacked off work during a major crisis to have coffee and chill with my union reps
Didn't even get in much trouble.

There's some kernel of truth to it: compsci graduates have highest unemployment numbers (7%) vs anyone graduating from a humanities major BUT humanities graduates have higher underemployment numbers than compsci graduates meaning that there's a greater chance that a humanities graduate will take any job vs a compsci graduate which will rather remain unemployed and bide their time

I dunno where else to vent, my workplace is going to shit and I feel like I'm going to be jobless soon, I started interviewing but I feel so nervous that I fucked up a leetcode easy, it wasn't even DP related, I just froze in the spot. I have no idea what will next year even look like

Just had an interview at a lab, they straight-up told me they don't have a job for me and that I just try again in 4 months for the coming 6 months period. They still showed me around for an entire hour and gave me all their personal contact information. Weirdest interview experience so far.

I'm tired of failing to get a good job. Even if I get a good job, what will be it, realistically? Probably $3k monthly at best where I am, in IT. In a very lucky scenario maybe $5k or $7k but that's entering "purely theoretical" territory.
Anyway, I'm tired.
How do I start dealing drugs? I heard they earn shittons of money. Where to get started?

Are you a retard who also books their flights through the flight platforms or something? You don't apply through fucking linkedin, lmao. You go to the company's website and look for the job listing there and apply there.

I actually hate STEM because it's too hard and I think the Humanities are easier. Is there something wrong with me? Am I a brainlet?

>hate STEM because it's too hard and I think the Humanities are easier.
which field of STEM and which field of humanities?

>>1340
>How
Capitalism. The rote memorization makes good worker. Thinking does not. school is not for learning its like a pedigree certificate. you still need familiar connections the cert is just proof. you are supposed to trade money and time for network not for education.
>>1342
>speak with your professors
They can't do anything about a system working as intended.
>>1344
>get into philosophy
philosophy is also infested with stem brainworms. its been replaced with analytics

>>1371
Math and English Language Arts respectively

Professors at my college were quite happy to give practical examples, feel like the main thing holding them back from putting it in the course material was time constraints, which ya know, capitalism upstream.

In December 1912, the UMWA had sent 21 "recruiting teams" to the Southern Colorado coalfields. These recruiting teams generally consisted of two union men: one who would embed himself among the miners and another who would find employment with the local management. Working in tandem, each pairing would locate miners who were opposed to unionization and report them to the company as union sympathizers—an offense that generally resulted in contract termination—in order to covertly replace them with genuine union members. It is possible that up to 3,000 UMWA members were introduced to the coalfields in such a manner.[20]: 10–11

hmmmm

>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?

That's fucked up

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".

ah I skim read, you're familiar with salting.

Go for it, OP, but focus on the work first then look into salting once you've got a hang of it.

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.

>>1330
>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
