Being a CEO is a low-skilled job.

I would generally be considered a “skilled worker,” I work in a lab and actually have to rely on fundamental knowledge I learned getting my degree. When I was in undergrad I worked at one of the big pizza chains.

The pizza job was way harder and whoever’s doing it should be paid more than I am now and more than pretty much anyone I work with.

The work was hard, it was hot, it was stressful, you barely got to sit down unless you were driving, the hours were dogshit, it was genuinely dangerous, and you’d come home smelling like sweat and old pizza. My current job in a 40 hour work week I do at best 25-30 hours of actual work. I get to work in a well air-conditioned building, I get to sit down when I want, I don’t have people micromanaging me every second, I get to wear what I want and except in some rare circumstances I come home pretty clean.

And I don’t have a do-nothing bullshit job or anything, I do actual stuff with chemicals and rodents, not just sit in front of a computer. And I make more than I did when I did a much much harder job.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
