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.
Get experience with the job first, then learn about union salting, that's what it sounds like you're aiming for.

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.
>>1313>>1314Thanks!
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
