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

I'm 32 and I worked as a janitor for 4 years.

There's no such thing as "permanent" jobs. If people are considerate and always cleaned up after themselves then fewer people get hired to clean and the inverse is also true, if people make more messes they hire more cleaners. In the end it doesn't matter, the boss always makes sure to force the maximum amount of work onto the fewest people. You can't actually make their job easier.

This isn't even a bad cleaning job. At least no one shit anywhere.

You are right. I have to remind myself that even in my country, where garbage collectors and janitors working in government facilities used to be civil servants with relative protections (they couldn't be fired without just cause), that's absolutely not the case anymore. Now, most of the cleaning work here is outsourced and are contracted on demand.
