I feel like this community is always spitting out the most vile dreck imaginable under the "it's just a joke" excuse. Now they're literally upvoting the Babylon Bee.

I bet the office worker that wrote this never carried 30kg bars of Bitumen up 30m ladders. That was a fun between jobs I did for a little while back in the day.

The popular idea they have in their head of the communist and the reality I see outside are totally different. If anything this is them projecting themselves into the accusation. The railway maintenance union RMT is the most radical union in the UK and they had soviet flags out at some of their picket lines. The more physical the worker the more radical things tend to get in my experience.

office workers really be acting like fucking around with spreadsheets all day and contributing nothing of value to society is 'hard work'. it's so delusional lol

I do this for my job and I make it a point to let all my prestigious college grad friends who do this know that we do nothing of value. We add nothing to society. We make spreadsheets and explain those to shareholders and C-suites who don't understand it anyway.

It's all just a grift all the way down

It's a skill that could be of value (there is value in resource management under communism, for example), but under capitalism, it is meaningless.

im not saying office workers don't have skills, im saying their skills are totally wasted on meaningless business slop
