Do you consider Sex Work to be Work?

I hear a lot of people say that sex workers are just lazy, that they don't want to get a “real job”… I am not talking about underage, or trafficked girls who are NOT doing this by choice. I am talking about grown women who are not being coerced or pimped. I see a lot of people say that it's “degrading”, but to me, working a shit job for minimum wage is degrading. Even an older escort can make minimum of $200 an hour. Many women can make $1000's an hour. Personally I know for a fact that sex work is in fact, real work. But what do others think about this?

Advice needed on challenged dismisal

Sorry if this is not allowed here. Throw away account. Based in UK. Long read. I need work advice on what to do next or if i can challenge a dismissal from work only after working for my employer only for 2 months. Let me setup the premise of why I was let go. I wont say who i work for but it is a tech firm that requires it's employees to travel around the UK and Europe to setup IT infrastructure. I only worked for this company for 2 months and my first event (event A), in London, went perfectly fine. The 2nd event (event B), in a western European country, went poorly for me due to me having the covid booster shot, my 3rd vaccine shot since I thought I would require being fully vaccinated with 2 vaccine shots and the booster shot. The first 2 shots I…

How do I rig “Early Out” Lottery, and/or avoid calls without suspicion?

I work for a call center from home using Avaya program on desktop. I want to avoid taking calls without raising suspicion. There is an “early out” lottery in Verint to be randomly selected for early release during slow times. We do this by typing “Y” or “Yes” into a box and save it to our profile. To NOT be in the lottery you would leave it blank or type “N” or “No” I want to be selected for early out more often if it's possible.

If you became the boss, what would you do to make work better?

Not counting more money/better benefits/treating people with respect. Those are a given around here, what else would you do? We are a long way from being able to not work, but what do we want until then?

Lack of motivation in a well off situation

Hey this is a throw away account just so i can rant into the void chamber. So my life story is that I'm a child of divorced parents, both pretty well of, but one of them moved to USA and become quite successful. Fast forward to adulthood and i flunked uni, asked for a job, got it and later moved with a green card. I was hired as an IT person, because i was good simple computer tasks and felt that it intrigued me. However, the “pleasure” of work never came and i started to hate the life of an adult that came to USA to live in the basement of his father (back in Europe, i was lucky enough to be gifted a one room flat, that i could live alone with my girlfriend). Work in my dads company continued and i “climbed” the ranks towards IT Manager (more…
