I mean, it's a shop that sell robot vacuum, and emplyee is sweeping a small space themselves, what's the issue here? You can't expect to use the robot to do the work for such a small space.

Not sure if sarclstic but they make robot mops too and they can work on areas of any size.

In what part does it read like sarcasm?

Also i know, i own one and use it in my bedroom, but in what way does this post fit this sub?

Edit: okay i can see it now. But what i mean is you can't expect business going the suboptimal way of using a robot to clean such a small space while their employee can do it in 5 min. If the supplier didn't come with a free sample unit then the owner will have to pay for it themselves. And this is at most an irony, but nothing dystopian about it

To your edit

You really don't see how what you mean is a dystopian way of thinking? Who fucking cares about what the owner has to pay when the money he is using to pay for it is being generated by the labor of the workers? Instead of the profits from their labor going to improve their working conditions, they are being stolen by an owner who is exploiting their labor for his own personal enrichment. Do you not understand how that is exploitative and dystopian?

?

Do you ever work retail? How is sweeping the floor dystopian? Good lord how spoiled you people truly are, to even considered sweeping the floor a dystopian because it didn't done using machine.

You're literally trying to make excuses for bosses commanding people to toil needlessly. How fucking warped is your perception of reality?

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's called a job. Sweeping the floor and cleaning the working environment is part of the job. You guys never work retail or blue collar for small business, that one is clear as daylight.
