Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks?

Gentle reminder that without “small time”, hourly workers doing real labor your easy, sweatless, office job would disappear overnight. Perhaps some gratitude? Maybe even some solidarity?

As a former IT professional turned baker, I dislike the condescending attitude too many white collar workers have toward the actual wheel turners of the world.

“doing real labor” “easy, sweatless, office job” “the actual wheel turners”

“I dislike the condescending attitude”

It never ceases to amaze me how often people see and hate shit in other people that they epitomize themselves.

And honestly, my experience has been the opposite and I see the condescending attitude, at least more openly, coming from blue collar workers more often.

    At the end, we just all want to get paid. And UBI doesn’t exist yet.

If you want solidarity you need to stop shitting on office workers first. You’re lambasting your own behaviour with this comment. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black…

I’ve done it all, from shoveling asphalt to dishpits to customer service, all that and a dozen more. Guess what? Those were shit jobs. Doesn’t make the person doing those jobs shit.

Some of y’all are so eager to be offended it’s ridiculous.
