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

I'm compiling a big list of vape shops to contact and see if they're hiring. It aggravates me how there's literally a vape shop every block or so yet i never see ads for them on indeed or Craigslist

Also if I'm willing to compile this list im willing to sass them if they say apply online

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?

To take a nearly indefensible position it might not even be immoral to start a business. Considering that the proletariats are going to be exploited regardless of what you do. It's like flipping a switch which does the same damage either way.

>>1189
>>1189
WRONG. THIS "JOKE" IS NO JOKE. OBJECTIVISM IS RANCID GARBAGE. HOW CAN MORALITY BE OBJECTIVE IF IT ONLY SERVES THE FEW PARASITES? MARXISM-LENINISM IS THE ONE TRUE MORALITY. LOOK AT THESE SUBJECTIVE MORALIST "OBJECTIVISTS" WHO BREAK THEIR BACKS TO MORALLY JUSTIFY THE UNJUSTIFIABLE

Either morality is a spook or you're an objectivist. You're fence sitting.

There are frameworks of ethics to be made with dialectical materialist analysis, but once that becomes vibes-based and religious enough to be moral then it becomes reactionary as all morality inherently is.

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

I've recently begun considering social work as a career path is it worth it?

What makes you motivated to wake up each week day and begin another days work? Am personally not particularly motivated by things, so am looking for something of another form. Am currently a student more or less dreading and finding it difficult to imagine enjoying most of my life. Am looking for a perspective to stop dreading the future working so much.

Know statistically that most American workers are "very satisfied" with their occupation, but find this confusing. Who would want to work? Suppose someone who rationalized, or someone who earns money by coincidence (their interests and aspirations by happenstance being economically viable). Is there some way out of this?

>The brain seems to be wired where rewards like this just don't motivate. Being motivated solely by necessity seems like it be just a dreadful, slavish, existence, but it doesn't work for me anyway.

Listen to George Carlin's take on motivation.
He says motivation is troublesome because the people who have it are usually up to no good.

>The people who are motivated are the ones causing all the trouble! Stock swindlers, serial killers, child molesters, religiopolitical conservatives? These people are highly motivated!

I think the alternative to working would be doing something for fun (hobbies), or doing nothing and being depressed. Everything costs money, and I don't like the idea of living on benefits.

Why is it ok to criticize work but when I criticize schooling, it's considered wrong?
Schooling has far more dross than working.

It's true though, both parts.
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them
Knew so many people in my program who looked down on me for taking a university IT job. Some of them still unemployed when I left that job after half a year
>One well crafted email to the manager or HR is worth at least 10 spam applications and takes less time
You might as well copy paste your resume into the trash can if you don't try to put it in front of a human. Only using ATS is a retard filter. The HR guy at my old job told me as much (before they stopped hiring and started outsourcing to latam).

>>1175
>IT job.
Isn't "using someone else's PC" a totally different skill set from programming?
How could you get a job where your qualifications are completely orthogonal?
e.g. wtf is active registry, just know it's somehow related to gconf which had never been installed on my machine?
And there's apparently a whole suite of Microsoft tools for when LaTeX isn't installed, etc.
And then there's the part where you're supposed to explain things to people.

>>1175
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them
A bad job can potentially pigeonhole your career and doom you to a dead-end niche which will be hard to get out of

>It's true though, both parts.


Which "both parts"?
Alot of STEM grass are stuck in deadens jobs with suboptimal pay and they're accused of entitlement?

>specialised pro-landlord Lawyer\ pro-gentrification legislator

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.
