Why is it that white collar jobs pay more than blue collar jobs but have less pressure than blue collar jobs? Like I worked in both. I've had shitty warehouse jobs where you had to punch in BEFORE your start time. Your breaks/lunchtime were timed to the dot. You could not leave early under any circumstance. If you worked faster than everyone else and were just standing around catching a breather your supervisors would just give you bullshit to do just to do something. But with white collar desk jobs I can start late. Leave early. Nobody tracks my lunch/break times. Plus I get paid way more and the work is so much physically easier. Why is it like this?

It's a class thing. Can you imagine a son or a daughter of a rich parents being berated for being tardy? They would not take such treatment. Professionals take all the liberties to be comfortable at work.

Ive thought of this before and realized, the most intelligent thing you can do is to not work, you get some other idiot to do the work for you

because white collar jobs are made for the elite's children and their friends

Not only the elite, you have to treat corporate employees nice or they quit or quietly quit. Only the poorest of the poor people can you treat like shit.

The people doing blue collar jobs need to be babysat. They're low IQ, usually drug addicted, with poor impulse control and bad decisionmaking skills. If they weren't all of those things, they would be doing a better job.

You clearly have never been in a real white collar office ever. In white collar, your coworkers will try to destroy your life (legally, financially, etc.) while still keeping you biologically alive to clean up the fallout. At least in blue collar the druggies will just straight up kill you. That's a mercy the white collar psychopaths will never give you.

immigrants or any other mental tard can do blue collar jobs, the ESL indian janitor can clean up the place. Theres much more appliances to blue collar jobs, anyone can do manual labor so the people are easily replacable so no one gives a shit if you complain about conditions or pay since there are 20 other bums or jeets willing to work for a cheaper wage, but white collar jobs atleast require some kind of education or qualification, and they are closer to the corporate elite so they get the benefits
Plus humans naturally accept heirarchies, we humans are naturally slaves for the elites

there are no immigrants here, we have a highly literate educated population, so theres less people willing to do manual labor, so here manual labor workers get more pay than office workers, but everyone atleast went to high school, university can read so everyone wants to work a comforable office job

Blue collar jobs are for dumb fucks AKA normalfag nigger cattle. They must be treated accordingly. White collar too, but a little less.

Supply and demand. There are low-paying white collar jobs, like in customer service, and high-paying blue collar jobs, like in skilled trades. But it's harder to find workers for low-paying white collar jobs than for low-paid blue collar jobs.

To work in any white collar job, even at the lowest level, you must be: English literate, able to deal with customers, talk on the phone, computer proficient, and able to understand how your team interacts with the rest of the organisation. These are the minimum requirements for virtually any office job. This cuts off the majority of dopes, aggros, and immigrants.

What do you mean? Blue collars get to have breaks while I barely get time to eat sometimes.

Blue collar labor fucks up your joints from the repetition and physical exertion.
Anonymous No.82499739 [Report]
Most jobs arent even real. They just go there and pretend to accomplish stuff. Because this world has a designer who controls them like robots. And they would just be sitting around anyways, so he tried to make them do something cool. Its so fucking retarded.

Because you worked shitty warehouse jobs. I'm an industrial electrician, I make more than the vast majority of white collar workers ever will, and I do maybe... three hours of actual work per week, most of my work week is spent in my shop shitposting on 4chan or playing video games. If nothing breaks, I have no actual work to do and am simply required to be physically at the facility so that on the rare occasion something does break and can't be fixed through a computer, there won't be extra downtime delay from travelling.

So, I'd say it was a skill issue on your part.

White collar work fucks up your brain through sleep deprivation.

What? Blue collar is much worse for your sleep schedule.
>wake up at 4am
>be physical all day
>you won't be able to eat enough to handle it
>need 8 hours of sleep. you get home to where you might get 7 at best

As someone who has worked in both white and blue collar I can safely say that the biggest difference is white collar work is more bloated inefficient and topheavy. There's more pressure in white collar work because it so fucking leaky and inefficient you need to do more work to properly prioritize and identify work and so on, there's also way more pressure to 'keep busy' and waste your time with meaningless busywork in white collar.

In white collar world it sometimes took a whole week just for me to get a plan together. Just the other day in blue collar world I got a plan together with two different companies in 10 minutes. I was in a good mood all day just thinking about how nice it is to not deal with office politics bullshit and the ease and joys of efficiency.

So we're just making shit up now? You haven't heard ANYONE discuss the influx of Indian and Chinese migrants to tech, call centers, help desk work, major phone companies, etc?
