No saying politicians please
Lobbyists
Insurance workers/administrators. They are there to prevent you from getting the healthcare you need. Luigi did nothing wrong. The night that human shit-stain got shot, Luigi was at my house drinking beers and playing cards.
Real Estate agents. Pointless leeches no one needs.
Generically sales people. People that call themselves hustlers. Whatever grind mindset that the people who talk that up the most always ends up being people ladder stepping salespeople
Marketing and advertisers
This. Their job is litterally to get people to spend money on something they otherwise wouldn’t spend money on. And they have a no holds barred attitude about separating people from their money.
This! Also , dishonesty and manipulation runs deep.
HR
You mean “The Fun Police”
At best. At worst they’re happiness enforcers, and/or corpo double agents
Corporate lobbyists. They’ve played a large part in the gradual destruction of the USA in the name of profit for their filthy-rich overlords.
Marketing, particularly Ads people. They exist only to hype shitty products, primarily. Sure they might get eyeballs on unknown brands, but I feel like that’s not what they are paid big bucks for.
Ads make me especially mad because there’s reasonable evidence to suggest they aren’t effective at increasing sales so the whole thing feels like a scam to waste everyone’s time and money
Wait, really? Do you have a link?
The conventional wisdom is that they barely ever work, but they’re also cheap enough per view it still makes economic sense for the one influenced purchase per person per year or whatever.
I want to also ad the people who are determined to put ads on FUCKING EVERYTHING. I grew up in the 90s, I remember when gods damn gas pumps were silent… I remember when the flashiest thing we saw on the store was when the soda displays were made into cool shapes… Get off my lawn and take your damn roofing company sign with you.
Fun fact: you can silence most gas pump ads by pushing the second-from-the-top button on the right-hand side of the gas pump screen… Not all pumps, and every now and then I encounter one that uses the third button down, but most pumps I’ve run into can be silenced.
It’s unforgivable they’ve jammed ads into pumps full of disgustingly overpriced gas that you’re already paying for…
keep an awl in the car… poke the speaker .
or, get some 3.5mm male ends and stick it into the headphone port for the bild folks. does it screw the blind/visually impaired from getting gas? sure…but it’s an unfortunate side effect to saving all our ears. I wouldn’t mind if I was blind, I’d just ask the attendant for assistance in pumping.
Is there a statistically significant population of blind people pumping gas? If you struggle to pump gas unassisted, I’m honestly not sure how you would safely operate a vehicle.
If you’re legally blind you cannot get a drivers license. And it doesn’t take much to be legally blind.
That used to work but no longer does on a lot in my area. Stuffing recipts in the speaker holes could help if you know what I mean
I have yet to run into any gas pumps with video ads personally, but this seems like a great way to drive EV adoption
Marketing is an industry built around manipulating people to buy things they otherwise wouldn’t be interested in buying. There’s no redeeming quality; the entire premise is shitty.
“Marketing” is just a euphemism for “propaganda.”
I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.
I’m gonna suggest two:
- anyone at all who works at ICE
- anyone who works at an America health insurance company in any sort of managerial or leadership capacity
Outgoing call center, Door to door “sales”, professional panhandlers.
Cops
Real-estate agents, followed by recruiters. Those people usually make good money while being absolutely shit at their jobs.
Try to find a real-estate agent who is capable of taking a single picture without their thumb partially covering the camera lens…
I had an Army recruiter call me when I was in H.S. After his initial "sales pitch’ I told him I didn’t believe in the military. That asshole was positively apoplectic. He went on the predictable “if-it-wasn’t-for-the-military-we’d-all-be-speaking-Russian” screed, to which I just hung up on him.
Politicians please.
And landlords and the entire finance industry.
Whatever people with MBA’s do.
My former boss at an engineering firm had to do an MBA to climb the ladder. He said the secret to success was just to stop thinking rationally
I have a volunteer at my dog rescue who got her MBA but focused specifically on non-profit administration. She’s amazing, one of the most amazing we have because she handles grant writing and all the paperwork that keeps us in line. Her income job is with an np that helps refugees get their new life established.
It’s like lawyers that actually use their training for good, few and far between but there are some out there.
I still never remember what the fuck MBA stands for without looking it up, I can only think “Master Bachelor Associate” because I feel they’re that pretentious; but, I know that’s incorrect.
Master of business administration.
Master of Bullshitting and Asskissing
Scammer. People don’t think it’s a “profession” in the true sense but it absolutely is. Majority of higher up people in scam call centers or phishing campaigns do it as their day job and they certainly make more money than the average honest worker putting in the same amount of effort.
It’s absolutely true. They might be a building over from someone doing level 1 tech support but making half the hourly rate.
Just having no morals won’t make you rich, but it can pay the rent alright.
