Stemlords are actually picrel. Its no surprise stemlords are complete retards. Im doing a masters in STEM and can't believe how intellectually barren math and this field is. There is no critical thinking involved, just memorizing some garbage symbols and their rules. Solving some dumb problems with some dumb patterns and repeat.

How did stemlords get so much prestige, while being just mere symbol technicians? Humanities at least teaches some theory and critical thinking, STEM is just complete trash meant for brainlets.

No wonder philosophy underpins all math and logic, stem is just surface level work for retards. I havent encountered a single intellectually deep thought in STEM once.

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.

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?

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?

I just started making money off of this and to be honest it came at a crucial time. It sucks they don't tell you what you are doing wrong. Feels Victorian, doing piece work. But it pays. Does anyone have advice for it so I don't get 'dropped' (stupid euphemism)?

How come nobody worries about tipping McDonalds workers?

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.
