TheReanuKeevesWhat occupations do you consider scummy?
_deleted_- Real estate agents
- President of the United States
- Politicians in general
- Used car sales-persons
∟⊔⊤∦∣≶The last used car salesman I interacted with was great, he really went out of his way to secure the deal and gave excellent service. I’d trust him over any politician
Why not new car salespeople?
CerebralHawksBecause their job is to sell you someone else’s problem. While you can buy a used/previously owned vehicle that doesn’t have problems, if it does, they still have to sell it, and as long as it lasts longer than your local “lemon law” (if you have one) says, then it’s your problem after that and you have no recourse other than to sell it and still lose a chunk of money. (Most likely, after they sell it, and after the lemon law makes it entirely your problem, they spread the word around that the car is, in fact, a lemon, so other used car dealers won’t touch it.)
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S [he/him]Cops, soldiers, politicians, CEOs, judges, landlords, debt collectors, repossession agents, and any job solely designed to impose the will of the capitalists upon the world.
DFX4509BWhat’s wrong with door to door sales? Should people with enough money to pay a landlord for a storefront be the only ones allowed to sell stuff, or just dropshippers on Amazon, or just big box stores like wallmart? Also, do door to door salemen even exist anymore? I think I’ve only seen them in movies from the 50’s

Like the people who run EA, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. All inclusive, I don’t think there are any good ones. They’re all working to drive prices up, wages down, and creativity? These people don’t give two shits about the games. They are not gamers. They see gamers as useful to keep their profits high and that’s it.
Support indie game developers whenever you can. Stardew Valley is a game I’ve tried very hard to like, not because I bought it twice, but because one guy made it and has supported it faithfully for ten years, and he genuinely cares about the experience. It’s just not the kind of game I like. I should — I play Animal Crossing. But Stardew Valley is based on Harvest Moon (another Nintendo game), but way more advanced. I think Animal Crossing was also inspired by Harvest Moon, but it’s the dumbed down version for kids. (It’s also post-apocalyptic, if you read between the lines! So that’s awesome.) But nah, I don’t like the game, but I love the developer’s passion for it, and I plan to buy his next game straight away. I think I will like it (“Haunted Chocolatier”) a little more, since it’s less farming and more questing, but instead of farming, it’s shop keeping.
People who’s roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.
However, there’s a class of people that do nothing. They’re often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there’s often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don’t want to say it’s everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It’s also not limited to them.
I heard someone call these kinda of people “fence turtles”. Nobody knows how they got up there, they don’t do anything useful, and they’re not likely to come down anytime soon
I feel like those are the same people blocking every beneficial change for the company to maintain the status quo (and perhaps their position).
Along with all the others that have been mentioned here my personal hate is financiers and bankers and most people that work in finance.
ZiggyTheZygoteIsraeli occupation.
Cowbee [he/they]Landlords and capitalists, as well as those that exist to maintain them.
whotookkarlAside from cops and military worker solidarity with any working assholes over inherited wealth nepo babies and trust funders who use capital to oppress people who weren’t born under similar privilege.
watsonAnyone who makes more than 10 million a year or more is definitely not a good person and not to be trusted.
The cut off number could probably be lower but I feel confident in saying 10 million. So I’m going with that.
You can’t make that much without “stealing” it from many others. Exploitation.
Fuck it, I’ll cut out at 1mil. Doesn’t matter who, doesn’t matter why. Even if you dug up 1mil in gold from your own property by hand, you’re a cunt for letting everyone else struggle if you sit on it and don’t so something.
yeah I mean maybe. maybe a particular specialist surgeon or such can pass the mil and be decent but I kinda doubt it.
yeah just crest and because its income and not stocks or whatever they actually pay the highest rate on most of it.
There are some exceptions for celebrities and athletes).
No.
Why? Why do they deserve such huge salaries? Is the work they do of that much more value than, say, a beekeeper barely scrapimg by?
Well they don’t earn that money from exploiting others but from being exploited.
Especially athletes. They destroy their bodies and sometimes their minds too.
As for Celebrities like actors and musicians/singers. I think there is a fair bit of exploration of them. Especially young women and young men.
If a company wants to pay an actor 5 million to be in a movie, they are paying for the talent, the risk to the actor, and the advertising that comes with that actors name.
That honestly seems fair. I just wish the amount that producers spend on male actors wasn’t so egregiously higher than female actors.
At least these people did something real to earn that money. Shower up to sets. Or went on concert tours.
They didn’t make it from stealing from others.
None of which qualifies as harder work than most jobs or explains how they earn many times the average person’s yearly salary for a fraction of the work.
Does a sportsball player destroy their body any more than a tradesman? How does throwing a ball equate to mining coal?
Actors aren’t being exploited any more than the average worker. Compared to, say, a local news reporter that is on television 5 days a week.
Well I’m not saying the physical work is different than other labor jobs. Or even the mental.
Just saying it IS actual honest work.
Do I think athletes should be paid 5 million for a season. ?
No. But someone thinks they do.
The reason I don’t like billionaires is because of exploitation.
They are bad people causing harm.
I don’t think that’s true about athletes and celebrities.
I don’t like such extreme income inequality either. But I’m not going to lump athletes and celebrities in with unethical exploitive sociopaths just because they are paid high amounts.
Exploitation of others is the factor here. Not anything else.
Haunted house actors. They’re always trying to scare you, how’re u gonna trust that 💀
That’s a good one lol
