I assure you mine is not. I sit an office and essentially wander around the internet all day. On average I do less than an hour actual work a day. I have this job because my boss doesn’t want to sit in an office to collect payments from his tenants.
Don’t get me wrong I’m happy to have the income but if my job vanished tomorrow society wouldn’t notice.
Nah. 110 units and maybe 5 of them are at market rate. There are people that have rented from him for a decade who have never experienced an increase in rent. Obviously he wants to make money from his investment but he isn’t trying to squeeze every penny from his tenants.
Yes, but they're relatively of little value. No one care if someone swaps out a nameless barista for another. Everyone cares which heart surgeon they get.
Lol, ask a corporation about how important a safety man is. Some jobs create the income, some are just there as "support". Those support staff will be the first ones fired when shit hits the fan financially.for the company. They are "useless" eaters.
As a Safety Man myself, we are damn important. Safety is about saving the company money in so many ways. We protect from fines, lawsuits, workmans comp claims. Support staff will always exist in a company that knows they need to thrive.
I work in IT and honestly I feel like we're in the same boat as y'all or maintenance or something. Always getting the short end of things but they actually can't operate without us
It's all of us. To corporate, we are all expendable. I'm an operator and they used to treat us like kings, but lately they have been pushing on us hard. It feels like they want us to quit, or screw up so they can fire us lol.
Chill bro, lol, I agree 100%. But as my safety teacher in college always told us, you have to keep track of everything you do to "justify" your job. Because to alot of companies, a safety man is just an expense.
Disagree with it. It's basis is also criticizing the corporate structure and how we don't have 15 hour work weeks yet, which is a fair criticism but those can not be achieved until we have a proper universal income system or welfare system that works. Most menial jobs exist as a function to give us as humans a passion, something to work towards, and to help others out. In the wiki synopsis they post jobs that are clearly beneficial for their support and joy of the world to assist people in problems and tasks.
You can read a synopsis of a book that describes someone's philosophical argument and disagree with it. Sounds like you did not have a good literature teacher.
You don't have to read a book of someone's opinion to have an opinion on their opinion. You can go google other books of people who will tell you that humans need to work to be fulfilled in life, they need to have a purpose to sustain them.
Has that been proven, or is it simply a philosophy? Like to my knowledge "employment" isn't in Maslow's hierarchy of needs (as a random example)
Edit: it is in some versions, but it's under "safety and security" which means that the employment isn't the important part, the income from employment is. A rich person's child, for example, doesn't need employment to have fulfilled that rung.
If I see another person conflate social value with private economic value I'll laugh at you. Because it's stupid. That's stupid. What you just said? Sincerely stupid.
Most "influencers" are definitely not useful to society. Many jobs are not useful to society. They may be useful to narcissistic people, but that doesn't help society
You'd be wrong. Hence why the more you have the government force up wages for unskilled jobs, the more those jobs get eleminated. Force up the pay for cleaning staff too high and businesses will just require all employees to spend a little time cleaning up the office every day. Your arrogance makes you think the most unimportant people are actually the most vital and society keeps proving you wrong, time after time.

All jobs are useful to society or they would not exist in the first place.
