I have one of these nondescript email jobs and I'm much happier on the days where I have a steady flow of work and variety of tasks. Time goes much faster. I still like to procrastinate a little in between tasks but overall it's much better than having literally nothing to do for 4 hours straight.

Can you not just surf the internet, or watch a movie or pull out a switch, or read a book or something?

If you have managers constantly walking around so you have to "look" productive then yeah that sucks. People that whine that they want to stay busy when they could just relax with free reign are fucking lobotomized wage slaves. Or people that could afford to go part time but say "aw man, I'd get bored at home!" fucking born to be a mindless worker ant

Not exactly somebody looking over my shoulder but it's not comfortable enough that I can just tune out for an hour and watch a movie either. My last job was kind of like that with nobody watching and nothing much to do a lot of days and I would just watch shows and play games and it wasn't that great, I felt stagnant and useless after a while. Unless you have some constructive project of your own you can work on during work hours I think you just get bored no matter how free you are to access entertainment on the clock. It's a balance I guess. Being smashed with work and stressed all day obviously sucks but feeling like you have had literally no impact on anything day-in and day-out sucks too. You can call it brainwashed wagieism but mentally were humans really built to do literally nothing productive all day every day?

He was only able to admit that after being hypnotized to not give a shit. The rest of his day was eating shit from his eight bosses and it was driving him crazy. He was also about to be fired for the incompetence of his eight bosses by efficiency consultants they hired to tell them how to not waste money. There’s an additional angle about how his job was to manually patch code for y2k compliance in 1999, which meant that job was either almost over or catastrophic failure as about to ensue, which he was also unable to give a shit about anymore, due to the hypnotherapy.

Also fun fact: in 98 and 99 there was massive over-hiring in tech to patch y2k. The companies told these new employees they were getting permanent employment, but once the patching was done laid them off, no severance package, because of “efficiency.”

It's basically what you're saying. We've seen with the covid scenario that we only need a fraction of the population's labor to keep society running. So, not only is full employment hard to achieve, it's actually inefficient. All these extra moving bodies just kinda get in the way. So we want them out of the way (not working) because their labor isnt needed, but we need them to keep consuming products so businesses can have revenue, and at the macro level keep the economy afloat. The solution to this conundrum of efficiency and consumer spending is to subsidize the population's income.

Once AI really kicks into gear and corpos lay everybody off, people lose income and spending power goes down, then profits go down. Then, the economy corcles the drain until UBI can bail us all out.

I know this is going to cause you to bust a blood vessel because it requires you to think outside the abstractions you've believed all your life, but inflation isn't real, only price gouging. Money is actually infinite because every bank lends out more money than they actually have. The debts we all owe are a farce. Market valuations are fairy dust. The economy is fictional.

its really mind blowing how nearly the entire white collar industry is made up of people who dont matter, their jobs are literally meaningless to the point they go to the office and barely work or work from home barely working and no one notices or cares, but the low paid schlubs who actually probably matter the most in society get told that they dont matter.

during covid, i dont think its a hyperbole to say that almost the entire society collapsed because grocery stores, the employment that people have always said is for moronic retards, were short staffed and not getting essential items stocked. and this would be nearly the same with the other negatively viewed jobs like janitors, delivery people, construction, trades people. etc. that society would fall apart without them. whereas these faggot white collar workers could just stop going to work and "work from home" and literally no one would notice or care if they vaporized overnight.

I think it’s useful to break it into tiers or sectors: primary tier is production, mining, food production, second tier is manufacturing, food processing, that sort of thing, third tier and above is pretty much useless for anything practical but may add value in the longer term through research and development. Unfortunately this tier also includes the FIRE industries, financial, insurance and real estate which indeed not only add nothing of value actually subtract value because of their bullshit. Government sits on top burning money because they want inflation. It all works until it doesn’t.

You're not really accounting for the effect of salary upgrades on prices, if you make a profit some of it should go towards improving workers' conditions and that has cost repercussions on the consumer end, an endless cycle in theory.
The debts we all owe are not a farse, the lending of money, so credit, has a real, unrealized cost to the lender, that of opportunity, that interest accounts for. Market variations are also based on expectations which are tied with credit avaliability and, again, cost of opportunity, very real and tangible factors.
There absolutely is scarcity of some things, especially in a culture of entitlement. Artificial scarcity is real but not universal.

End-stage capitalism is explicitly defined as manufacturing scarcity to justify the continued existence of capitalistic entities. It’s called end-stage because it isn’t sustainable, as the artificial scarcity can only be maintained by steadily increasing debt.

I work in a kitchen at a bar because in my state you have to serve food in order to serve alcohol. But nobody is ever getting food during my shift (6-230am). The pay is nice at $20.50 an hour plus tips. But like another anon said, sitting and watching shit on your laptop all day gets fucking old real fast, especially if you're doing it day in and day out.

This is how office jobs are. The amount of work you have at any given time is very inconsistent. But you're expected to appear busy at all times for 9 hours a day. That's where the "staring at my desk, but it looks like I'm working" comes in. The boredom really sucks. But it's still better than the alternatives.

absolutely 100%. and it doesnt help when the richer people doing the more meaningless work act like doing basic things that the poorer people have to do is basically akin to slave labor

>ahhh what the fuck do you mean i have to go into the office to sit on my ass for 8 hours staring at a screen in the air conditioning pretending to work to get my undeserved high salary? i can do this at home! making me go somewhere to work is literally like asking me to do sweatshop labor! only complete retards would actually waste time commuting!

never mind the fact that poorer people are always going to work sites to do their harder work, and have to sit here and get told that even just getting to your job in the morning and going home at night makes you even more pathetic and worthless. and the white collar faggots have been doing this for 5 years.

They're not as abstract as you think. They're very real in that they're behaviors that we can observe, with real consequences interlinked in a complex mesh that the average person doesn't bother grasping. I don't get this recent "economy/money is fake" narrative being parroted, just because you only see the tip of the iceberg in the form of numbers on some screen doesn't mean that there aren't very tangible events going on behind them. Currency itself is materialized trust whose job is allowing for the convenience of not having to exchange in kind, it's not fake nor will it ever be, its purpose is very real and practical.

Exactly why I plan to hopefully kill myself sometime this decade (currently 32). I can't imagine playing the charade for another 30-35 years with fake jobs propping up fake industries and fake economies, to buy meaningless stupid shit, just for the hope that when you get old as shit, you get 10 years, maybe 15, 20 if youre lucky, before you become an invalid and die on a bed in a hospital. and no, the joy of having a family to stay alive for isnt in the cards for me because i post on 4chan after all. so basically the only future i have to look forward to would be one based on endless consumerism and "keeping up with the joneses"

Nice trips. None of this was ever sustainable, yet it keeps going, and will find something by which to sustain itself. Perhaps with a global population of 1 Bn humans, perhaps with lunar colonies, etc. End Stage is a marketing term which suggests something that will come after it, usually some kind of Marxist genocide.

But's that's still a real behavior and its consequences are palpable. But know that I'm not seeking to admonish or talk down on anyone I'm replying directly to or not, I'm just hoping that someone more tangled up in the whole "current economy is an abstract farse" reads this so they can see that it's more nuanced than that, it's not some big sham at its core and its reckless abolishment would probably do more bad than good. It's necessary to root out the filth that unfortunately has become too decentralized and tenacious in not letting go, and I'm not sure how that can be accomplished.

International investment funds broke the social contract. They swooped in on the one deliberately-kept-gray-zone to usurp the middleclass of its most foundational possessions, and greed alone doesn't fully explain why. There must be an ulterior reason, or some valid justification they're hiding from us.
