Anyone who makes more than 10 million a year or more is definitely not a good person and not to be trusted.
The cut off number could probably be lower but I feel confident in saying 10 million. So I'm going with that.
You can't make that much without "stealing" it from many others. Exploitation.
(I'm not talking about a company that makes 10 million, I'm referring to an individual that does. There are some exceptions for celebrities and athletes).
Fuck it, I'll cut it at 1mil. Doesn't matter who, doesn't matter why. Even if you dug up 1mil in gold from your own property by hand, you're a cunt for letting everyone else struggle if you sit on it and don't so something.
yeah I mean maybe. maybe a particular specialist surgeon or such can pass the mil and be decent but I kinda doubt it.
If so, it would be like just at 1m, and not even close to 2m.
yeah just crest and because its income and not stocks or whatever they actually pay the highest rate on most of it.
Online moderators.
They're such fragile people behind them keyboards.
The down vote you got kills me
Marketers
Landlords and marketing people.
Any job in marketing.
Cops.
Haunted house actors. They're always trying to scare you, how're u gonna trust that ๐
Politicians, lawyers, hr
Landlords and capitalists, as well as those that exist to maintain them.
People who's roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.
However, there's a class of people that do nothing. They're often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there's often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don't want to say it's everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It's also not limited to them.
I feel like those are the same people blocking every beneficial change for the company to maintain the status quo (and perhaps their position).
I heard someone call these kinda of people "fence turtles". Nobody knows how they got up there, they don't do anything useful, and they're not likely to come down anytime soon
I like it.
Israeli occupation.
Aside from cops and military worker solidarity with any working assholes over inherited wealth nepo babies and trust funders who use capital to oppress people who weren't born under similar privilege.
Marketing/occupations in advertising.
Health insurance executives and administrators
Hospital executives and administrators
Most tech executives
Private equity firm executives and administrators
Student loan collection agency executives and administrators
Working for ICE or Working in Trumps management team.
A lot of other answers are right but this is next level.
The last used car salesman I interacted with was great, he really went out of his way to secure the deal and gave excellent service. I'd trust him over any politician
Why not new car salespeople?
Because their job is to sell you someone else's problem. While you can buy a used/previously owned vehicle that doesn't have problems, if it does, they still have to sell it, and as long as it lasts longer than your local "lemon law" (if you have one) says, then it's your problem after that and you have no recourse other than to sell it and still lose a chunk of money. (Most likely, after they sell it, and after the lemon law makes it entirely your problem, they spread the word around that the car is, in fact, a lemon, so other used car dealers won't touch it.)
Cops, soldiers, politicians, CEOs, judges, landlords, debt collectors, repossession agents, and any job solely designed to impose the will of the capitalists upon the world.
Insurance loss adjusters
was looking through the list because common ones like lawyer and politician have bad folks but many good folks actually trying to improve things. Seems like its hard to be a success long term wtihout being one. This though. Man I would likely put at the top. If someone is successful in this field they are aweful.
Data brokers, easily. Also, bill collectors are one of the stereotypical scummy occupations alongside door-to-door sales and buy-here-pay-here car lots.
Project managers. Not racist I just dont like them. Never met one that wasnt a useless overpaid Muppet.
Management
Game publisher executive.
Like the people who run EA, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. All inclusive, I don't think there are any good ones. They're all working to drive prices up, wages down, and creativity? These people don't give two shits about the games. They are not gamers. They see gamers as useful to keep their profits high and that's it.
Support indie game developers whenever you can. Stardew Valley is a game I've tried very hard to like, not because I bought it twice, but because one guy made it and has supported it faithfully for ten years, and he genuinely cares about the experience. It's just not the kind of game I like. I should โ I play Animal Crossing. But Stardew Valley is based on Harvest Moon (another Nintendo game), but way more advanced. I think Animal Crossing was also inspired by Harvest Moon, but it's the dumbed down version for kids. (It's also post-apocalyptic, if you read between the lines! So that's awesome.) But nah, I don't like the game, but I love the developer's passion for it, and I plan to buy his next game straight away. I think I will like it ("Haunted Chocolatier") a little more, since it's less farming and more questing, but instead of farming, it's shop keeping.
