I don’t need to know exact companies, no need to unnecessarily expose yourself or anything, but as we are a workers rights instance of Lemmy, I safely assume we are all proletarians. I for example work at a unionized grocery and I work outside. I have many complaints but I try my best to work as little as possible while getting my paycheck. Customers are usually fine but occasionally just dumb af to the point where it’s annoying(I have millions of stories) managers are very kind, only ones who were dicks left(unfortunately they probably got promoted if I remember correctly) and my coworkers are eh. Some are great to confide in and joke with, while others are rude or annoying, some are very nice but have garbage politics (libertarians who don’t understand their benefits from being in a union/don’t care enough about the differences to advocate for it). I plan on becoming a firefighter, not only for the pay, job security and union benefits, but it’s also an essential job that doesn’t exist just to create capital (no judgement to those who work in corporate environments, I’ve never done it and can’t judge it). I like my job overall but Goddamn the weather. Edit: Kinda cool to see so many people who are in tech.

    Not only that but in order to advance in capitalist society you are required to risk taking on debt. Need a new car thats reliable and wont break down on the way to work? Sorry your credit score is terrible. You should have taken some debt and paid it off to prove that you can pay for things before we can let you buy this car. Need a degree to do the work you want to do? Well you gotta take out all this debt first. Your wages aren’t paying enough to live and your career isn’t advancing the traditional way? The only legal way to advance is to collect some debt, invest it, and hope it doesn’t backfire.
