I am tired having to smell people’s #2 at work. This is why WFH should be the future.

I am applying to fully remote jobs only for this reason. Disgusting.my boss doesn't even wash her hands after pooping no joke.

In your HONEST opinion, would you say that college is essential in securing a job? Is a college degree worth it in the long run?

I’m currently a senior in high school that’s going to be graduating in 10 days or so, but I’m still not entirely sure if I want to go to college. I’m deathly afraid of the prospect of being swamped in student loan debt and not even having a decent job to show for it. I do not come from a privileged household in the slightest either so I’d be paying off my college tuition by myself without any help, aside from POSSIBLY a small scholarship. Majority of you on this subreddit have college degrees and a job, so I was wondering if you guys think your college degree was worth it and what you would do differently? I’d appreciate if you guys could lend me some of your wisdom!

Found out that on cruise liners (from the UK at least) that same job levels on boats get paid differently depending on what country you come from. Global south country workers get less than Europeans – despite doing the same job.

I have a friend who works in management for a major international cruise company. She told me that based on what country you’re originally from, you get paid less. African, South East Asian workers get paid less than people from the US or Europeans. While she said she did her best to immediately hire people into slightly senior job grades to ensure people get paid the same – she’s only one person in a rotten industry, and only on one part of the ship ops (hospitality) So aside from destroying our oceans, cruise operators are conducting some of the biggest surplus value thievery on the planet and swimming in the misery of others. You can probably guess the operator. They’re the biggest in the world.

9-5 is BS

First of all, let’s be honest. It’s actually 8-5 (or 9-6) in today’s world. How are we supposed to be buy stuff, get things fixed, go to businesses for ANY reason, if we are supposed to work a 9-5? We’re all working during those times. How can anyone, other than the capitalist, elite, class, be expected to get things done if we’re working during business hours?

Hmm interesting. Imagine customers complaining about inflation and then wondering as an employee your boss is still paying you the same unliveable wage since you started working.

Another union success! This is why we must all have the access to unions. Unions do work and corporations do not want you to know this.
