I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.
I oppose the occupation of gaza by Israel !
But fr, anything position that gives one power and a feeling of superiority : magistrate, judge, police officer, military, …
You may not understand this, but humans are selfish and immoral and need rules. without all those jobs you mentioned, the rules are meaningless.
Kudos to the people who actually adhered to the “unique” part of this. No, you’re not unusual for hating money men. It’s only a matter of time until someone posts “cops”.
The entire entertainment industry is gross and depressing seen from anywhere close to the inside, but I’m not sure I’d really say I oppose it in concept.
“unique” doesn’t necessarily mean you and only you uniquely hate the occupation. Your hatred for that profession might be unique among the professions you hate. It’s not really specified what OP meant by the question.Yes, it was poorly worded, that’s fair. In the context of OP’s other simultaneous post, and in the context that it’s typical to ask for “unpopular” responses it’s a bit clearer.
The jerking off thing is a definite projection. No u.
Literally anyone who works in health insurance.
Currently work in biotech, and have worked in medtech; I have had to integrate systems with insurers (payors is the industry term). I know exactly how fucked it is on a statistical level.
I used to work for an insurer. Our entire health system is just a steaming pile of crap. Providers will double or triple bill. Hospitals raise their rates through the absolute roof so they have room for negotiations. The uninsured people more often than not get billed at the unnegotiated rate which is many times what it should be. If the insurers are short on money or profit margins are down and their stockholders are angry they end up turning down shitloads of procedures looking at the statistics for what’s least likely to cause lawsuits and death. Medicare requires you to go and recertify every patient every year, Mr Johnson’s an amputee, well you better get him back in to make sure he still is or you’re not going to pay for DME. Half the big insurers are still running on Big iron of one form or another, FTP over SSL coming hot off of mainframe.
It’s not a good look.
I design big iron. The hardware is great, don’t blame us.
I googled big iron. I still don’t understand what you two are talking about, don’t blame me.
Big iron means a mainframe. The Ferrari of servers.
Thank you!
Ferrari? More like the passenger train of computers.
Like I said, I help design them. I’m interested to know why you think that. You work with them? How old are the ones you work with?
Big iron on his hip
What is “big iron”?
Mainframe computers
Thanks.
Found Texas Red.
What’s texas red?
Big Iron is a song by Marty Robbins, about a criminal named Texas Red, who wore a big iron on his hip.
Ha! That went right over my head. Thanks for explaining.
Hedge Funds and Short Sellers.
I thought you meant military occupations and I was so confused. Like asking what’s the one military occupation you oppose (you aren’t allowed to oppose any others)
All of them.
All of them. Abolish occupations.
Why?
For most people, having an occupation means giving up roughly half of your waking hours, as well as a toll on your body and mind, to the minority class that happens to own the things needed to do this occupation in exchange for wages. These wages are required to buy the necessities for the rest of your life from this same minority class. Getting rid of occupations means ending this relationship so that we no longer have to support the exorbitant lifestyles and cruel whims of this minority class. It means putting us in control of the value we create with our labor and not wasting it on the likes of telemarketing, car dealing, or denying health insurance claims.
That is not the fault of the occupation, but the system we are doing it in. People will typically want to work at SOMEthing. The system we have has perverted that drive toward what you describe.
Division of labor happens in societies, no matter how small.
I’m not saying that talent, preference, or experience aren’t real or that people won’t naturally focus their efforts on certain activities. I’m saying that people shouldn’t have to effectively blackmailed into certain activities, whether they align with their preferences or not. I like being a mechanical engineer. I do not like that I have to do it for forty plus hours a week, 49 weeks out of the year. Getting rid of occupations means that I would not be penalized if I decided to cut back on engineering and devote some real time to things that actually matter to me, my family, and my neighbors.
Bingo. If I had all my family’s expenses paid, I’d do my job for 3-4 days without pay. Maybe not as long, but I like my work.
The wording of this question has a very narrow permitted window for an answer, but I’ll say fuck “influencers” anyway. Entire concept should be rolled back like 20 years. Disc jockeys and similar precursors weren’t quite so prone to being narcissistic kiddie creepers that were famous for being famous.
“Influencers”
This. They were the first thing I thought of when thinking of useless.
I have ad-blockers to filter out crap. Now I need influence-blockers.
infuencers are just rebranded shills
What gets me is how transparent the term is, and people still act like its a good thing.
Gas-filler. There’s a couple states in the US where you aren’t allowed to pump your own gas, someone else has to do it for you, and you’re expected to then tip them.
The job is essentially getting me to pay to be inconvenienced. I’d prefer to pay to let me pump my own gas.
Oregon let’s you pump your own gas now, so it’s just New Jersey afaik
The first time I crossed the border into Oregon years ago and started pumping my own gas, the attendant came out shouting “Hey! What are you doing?” As someone that had never heard of this law in either state, I was about as confused as you could possibly be, because this obviously seemed like a trick question.
Just reinforces my belief that America is a bunch of weird different countries smashed together under a bastard flag.
Oh, that is absolutely correct. Texas is so different from California, which is so different from New York, which is so different from Florida which is so different than Massachusetts, etc. forever.
California would be the sixth largest economy in the world if it was its own country.
Those people deserve a tip, alright. The tip of my middle finger. Pouring fossil fuels into people’s cars is evil.
ACAB.
Realtors.
I don’t know of a job more pointless. And I worked (reception) at a realty office and still didn’t see the value.
Realtors are fucking useless, they provide none of the information you actually need but you have to go through them to figure out what the deal is with a space.
Seems useful to me. If I’m selling my house I don’t want to spend a bunch of my own time setting up all the showings and being there for each one. And if I have to trust someone else to do it, they should be licensed and trackable in case something goes wrong.
It does seem like a job that attracts lazy people though, and it also seems like there are way too many agents in general.
I just bought a house, and having someone to coordinate all the paperwork thoroughly and promptly was definitely valuable to me.
Bankers, lawyers, marketers, police, military, landlords if that was a job, politicians.

Chiropractors. It’s pseudoscience. Maybe it’s not the most unique opposition from me as I know some others dislike chiropractors, but I think it’s backwards that medical aids or health insurance will literally pay for their client’s appointments with these modern day charlatans, while denying payment of scientifically proven treatment options.
Advertising. Landlord. Intelligence agent or special operator for a bourgeois state.
Came here to write advertising. Your product should speak for itself.
Landlording, however, is not an occupation. They’re just parasites who’ve convinced people it is.
