I would call many of these jobs exploitative. Huckstering or something. Tricking people out of their money or being a middleman has always been a, uh, profession. Not honest work. Then of course there are managers, and I'm being a bit cheeky about them.
Whats your profession?
I'm a computer programmer.
So you just sit on your ass and type into the computer
Sales: It actually works here, they become workhorses and their pay gets tied to performance, they're still lazy af physically, but it produces value for the organization.
LaborWorkers: it is a rare bird, that is both female and capable of this work, doubtful for most prospects, but she may exist and is probably a lesbian.
Managers: Nooooooooo.... they'll kill us all.
I would sooner offer a female the wages of the managerial staff, as a bribe for her to stop pursuing the position.
Salespeople are useful. I guess what I'm saying is I don't consider their efforts "work" but rather people manipulation. I'm not saying that everyone who sends emails is a useless partner. At the same time, there are people who are useless, or nearly useless. And a lot of those are in the emailing job.
Women clean everywhere. I consider that labor work.
Yeah management I wasn't thinking of when I wrote my two sentence post. They do send a lot of emails. At best, I think they make decisions and get other people to respect those decisions thus improving efficiency. That's based on my own job (computer programmer) ; they may have a different role somewhere else.
also a programmer here, thats why I despise the managerial class :)
I have a theory that the final war to end all wars will be Engineers vs Managers, more of a fantasy really.
In my experience, the managers are basically children shouting "I WANT" and under no obligation to understand the requirements of their demands.
My last manager, was pretty cool, I liked him, but he was clueless as to what I actually do. I've gotten in 'trouble' for implementing his requests!
8 bosses!!
I might just be ranting now.... goddamn the managers!
