Among poly-workers identified by Deputy, the vast majority (78%) work in the hospitality sector, 12% work in healthcare, 6% work in retail, and 5% work in the service industry.
So the jobs that historically pay as little as legally possible are the ones where people are working multiple jobs? Shocker.

Wage slavery? No. It’s poly-employment.

As in: Both partners in a marriage will have to work at least two jobs each to pay the rent for the one-bedroom apartment and will still need to go to the food bank in order not to starve. And people wonder why they have no kids…

How soon do you think we’ll start seeing articles about indentured servitude being great for you and the next hot thing in work trends? Some Linkedin lunatics are probably praising it already…
Next big work “trend.” A fucking trend. Give me a goddamned break…

What is the point of LinkedIn anyways, can anyone actually describe it to me? All these years later and I’m still confused. The only thing I’ve found it useful for, is basically a digital rolodex for when I want to get ahold of someone. I can’t read the news feed or whatever it’s called, it’s insufferable.
