What are the most EVIL (non-violent so; petty, cowardly..not like at least being a (((soldier))) on the frontline) 100% Legal jobs, under American Capitalism?
I think of:
>Repo Agency CEO
>Medical Debt Collector
>Pharmaceutical Lobbyist\ healthcare company negotiator (meaning; uses legal and other tactics to make CLIENTS pay more, have less benefits)
>specialised pro-landlord Lawyer\ pro-gentrification legislator
what else!!

High-ranking officer? General, colonel and such

Anything related to (((banks))).

Factory farm/slaughterhouse worker. You have to be sadistic paychopath to work there, even if you are not when you start you will soon turn into one.

According to the customers i served, hospitality/bartending apparently (i served the person first in the queue and didn’t make their drink right away afterwards)

50 job applications later and only two interviews, one of which hasn't got back to me with an interview date, and the other of which was a ten minute Q&A for a kitchen porter role.

Every care home in the region is also flooded with migrant labour so there are no roles going either.

I'll take anything holy shit.

A 1:25 ratio isn't that bad in this hellscape of an economy. Good going, comrade! Keep it up. I know it may be a stretch and a 'don't you think I already tried that' but have you asked your parents or close friends? A metaphorical LFG IRL. When I got out of college and couldn't find work in my field, I asked my bar buddy if I could have a job and I was a waiter the next week. Most of the jobs I've had in my profession have been from knowing someone who is looking for someone to hire, but they want some kind of social proof that the person isn't fucking crazy. Are there any local shops you frequent? Like a corner store or comic book shop where they know you? Do you have any friends who run their own business and you offer to be their bitch? (the soft and hard skills from secretarial work will be helpful when you have to do it all yourself in the era of personal computing)
>>1237
Keep applying to other jobs while you wait on the good ones. It will occupy your time and give a back up to your backup.

I have a profile that might get me an internship at a very high profile government institution.

But what's the point? Is entryism still a thing? Isn't this like getting a job and being subsumed at the Nazi Ministry of Air Defense?

What about doing help desk for like a year or two with the intention of becoming a Linux SysAdmin?

Open Insulin are an amazing co-op, and unlike most they aspire to be more than a coffee shop. They are trying to create a pharmaceutical co op that will distribute insulin to people with diabetes. They are in the process of fully developing their production techniques.

Recent insulin glargine results from Counter Culture Labs
>Over the past year the Open Insulin chapter at Counter Culture Labs has focused on refining our techniques for using transgenic Pichia pastoris in order to synthesize glargine, a type of long acting insulin. In 2024 and 2025 there have been two flask culture runs and one bioreactor run that have been confirmed to have successful glargine production with protein gels and western blots.
>The bioreactor run from 6/24/2024/ to 6/30/2024 has the most promising result because the other successful results were cultures grown in flasks which are less useful for producing large amounts of Insulin than cultures in a bioreactor. The synthesis pathway for glargine that was integrated into Pichia pastoris is methanol activated, meaning it will only produce glargine when methanol is added to the feedstock.
>The Open Insulin team at Counter Culture Labs has confirmed glargine expression from this bioreactor run as well as two flask runs. The first of these flask runs was grown from 11/25/2024 – 12/04/2024 and the second one was grown from 02/05/2025 – 02/24/2025. The former run was confirmed only via a protein gel; the latter run was confirmed via both a protein gel and a western blot.
>While these three cultures showed that the Pichia pastoris strain developed by Open Insulin is capable of expressing significant quantities of insulin glargine, expression is not consistent . The next step in our work is to continue experiments to obtain reliable and consistent expression.

I've been thinking of buying stocks, futures, and maybe even gold with the few laborbux that I can spare. I want to build up some kind kind of wealth that I can fall back on if I'm ever unemployed for some time or if I have an emergency. Is it immoral by leftist standards to invest in the stock market or is it okay?

Didn't Marx himself invest? lmao
Dude we are living in capitalism right now, in this system survival is possible in accordance to how much wealth you accomulate to pay for your basic living needs. Get your ass rich if you can.

>>1185
Marxism isn't a cult you moron

>>1240
Yes it is

>>1177
>Is it immoral by leftist standards
what are "leftist standards"

if youre a consequential then that means 'its okay when we do it'


you could also short

moralism shouldn't be a consideration if you are a marxist. marxism is by its very nature anti moralist, whether or not investing in the stock market is immoral is irrelevant, if it would improve your material conditions go ahead

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Good job doing all that, too bad an algorithm filtered out your application (before it ever saw human eyes) because your last name starts with the letter J.
Oh, you got past the algorithm somehow? That's cute, the HR manager got bad vibes.
Survived the vibes? Time for 5 interviews in a row.
Just kidding, the job was never real, they were just pretending to be hiring to get tax cuts.

pay: $10.15/hr

a thread for salting, becoming a salt




You just went from working a solid career-type job to working retail or fast food again? Become a salt. Recession compression creates ideal salting conditions–downward mobility, employer arrogance, worker bitterness. Embed without announcing. Become dependable, a communist should be the hardest working man in the shop, stay observant, find the cracks, then slow corrosive. Learn the workplace rhythms, identify informal leaders, exploit management contradictions. Never preach–weaponize the material conditions and shared misery. Reinforce that exploitation isn't personal, it's structural. Organize under cover of small talk. Normalize resistance. You're not radical–you're just the one who says what everyone’s already thinking.

Reading List (Contribute !!)

https://industrialworker.org/salt-is-back-on-the-table/
For those unfamiliar, salting is when workers seek employment for the purposes of kick-starting an organizing campaign, or to assist an organizing campaign already in motion. Salting can come in a variety of various strategies, depending on what organizing looks like in a specific shop or what the conditions are like in a specific industry.

>But why should we have so many people making a livelihood in service jobs like that while more essential jobs like nursing, manufacturing, construction, trucking, etc are left lacking in manpower?
because the more essential jobs require you to pay out of pocket for education/training and if people don't have the money to pay for the training they won't get it. make sense? in a planned society you would just put people in those jobs and pay for their training socially.

Yet people have no problem taking out five figure loans for college education that they won't be able to pay back in their lifetime.

DSA runs a national salting program and will try to place you where you have a good job of actually organizing to take money from capitalists and give it to workers.

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.

Does anyone here help organize like labor unions and tenants unions and so on?

I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize. It could help mitigate some of the harms of the nonprofit activist industrial complex by giving more power to the workers instead of the CEOs. I'm sure lots of NEETs here interact with social programs. It takes five seconds to ask your support workers if they've looked into unionizing.

Anyhow would love to your thoughts on praxis in general

>synthesism doesn't get the goods
How so?

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
