Lmao my man came here with his green text telling everyone how happy he is for getting money for doing essentially nothing and people here are just straight up calling him a dumb poor bitch.

That’s how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol

It’s somewhat the same argument for universal income. Gives people time to learn valuable skill sets without giving all their time and energy to some company.

I agree. I’m lucky I got this opportunity which really made me believe in social safety net as an ideology. So many people are stuck because there just no time to respecialize and re-invest your human resources. Automation, AI, robotics are only a problem because of this. If AI can take taxi driver’s job and the taxi driver has the support to re-specialize to something more fulfilling then it’s a win-win for everyone.

I agree, though I prefer the Negative Income Tax formulation over Universal Basic Income, for the simple reason that there’s a lot less bookkeeping (only need to pay out for people making <$X). Ensure everyone is over the poverty line whether employed or not and we can eliminate the minimum wage and people will likely be better off since they can pursue their passions (which they’ll likely be a lot more productive at) instead of doing whatever makes enough money.

Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?
If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can’t wait for working hours?
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 days ago
These stores are not open at night. They sometimes have overnight staff that process loading bay trucks and/or restock shelves on the retail floor.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Basically every chain grocery store does this at least once a week as well. I remember them trying to get me to do it when I worked for one while in college. Acted like it was such a great opportunity to get an extra buck an hour, which I quickly refused.

I worked retail at a major store ~45k sqft and we had people come in at 2-3am and work until 10-11am “stocking shelves”. Thing is, part of our closing duties when it wasn’t busy was to restock the shelves. So most of the time the people stocking just ducked around for 8 hours. They were always super chill but had terrible weed.

I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.

I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
You’d have to be pretty low volume not to have shit to do. Hell, moving pallets around that were placed in overstock way far from their stock location because people were too busy would be a full time job itself. That said, it’s rare for anyone overnight to get the training to actually know what needs to be done.
Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 1 day ago
European here (we don’t have Home Depot), isn’t Home Depot a hardware Store? What is there to do at night for eight Hours?
UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn’t want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.

Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can’t even rent an apartment at $17/hr.
Zippity@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Not all entry-level jobs start you at a “living wage.” When I was in middle school, delivering newspapers, I didn’t make enough to rent an apartment either. In college, I had roommates because none of us earned enough to rent a place by ourselves. So climb off your arrogant and ignorant high-horse.
Also, for the lazy ass dude who started this, work hard and don’t be a leach. If you think you can do better than where you are now, move on to that place and stop gaslighting everyone.

Getting paid to be there through the night for the times when a person is actually needed, as well as being on site to keep an eye on things. Sounds like honest work to me
Maalus@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Especially since it’s nights - when most people don’t want to work, and when it fucks up your health doing it regularly.
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
That’s basically it. They’re just there just in case they’re needed and many people actually can’t stand working like that. There are a ton of jobs where someone only needs to be there just so any potential work gets done right away. But it’s shocking how few people actually enjoy getting paid to do nothing most of the time. It definitely takes a certain mindset.
I work a similar job right now. I’m support in a factory. I show up to work with the expectation that I’ll only actually be working for maybe about 20-30% of my shift. If a machine needs attention or a production coworker has a question then I deal with it, otherwise I read a book. Whenever one of our production workers gets promoted to support, it always takes them months to get used to not working. They always start out trying to take literally every call just to have work to do and nervously twiddling their thumbs while staring into space at their desk when they don’t. Eventually they start pulling out their phone but they always look so guilty about it and hide it as soon as a boss walks by. And these are internal hires who even have the advantage of having personally watched me fucking around on my phone sending memes to my boss all day at work every day without issue. We actually just lost an external hire maintenance guy because he was constantly woried that he wasn’t doing enough work and was going to get fired.
hydrospanner@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
That’s a failure of management.
Or rather, that’s a symptom of a certain kind of management that incentivizes people to look busy, punishes those who don’t, and doesn’t give people accurate and realistic guidance on their responsibilities.

Why not cut out the walking around in a store for 8h and still getting paid 17$/h. Universal Basic income now!

I hear what you’re saying but the walking was probably the best part of that job. Barring disability, walking is so good for our bodies.

Ok, but what are the benefits? Is there a union? $17 is barely more than minimum wage.
PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 day ago
$7.25 is the federal minimum, which is the still minimum for many states.
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Eh I’m sure they’ll raise it to $7.50 in a few years
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
And $12-15/hr is a completely reasonable wage for an adult in many states.

This was how it was in the good old days working third shift at Walmarts back when they closed at like 9-10pm. You were just there to unload the trucks and restock the shelves, so our store would put the peddle down and be finished at 3-4 in the morning. Our shift was until 7am so we’d typical goof off playing video games in the electronics department or watching movies.

Where is $17 a lot of money? In your parents basement??? I guess tendies would be covered for this greentext. Get an education and get double that, still be broke, and still work until your mental breakdown, at which point if all of you’s can organize your break downs to align, we might be able to take that mental anguish out of the 1% families who’s houses are burning in the palisades. Yeah I said it, the universe hates the palisades. Burn baby burn.

its annoying that people want to share these posts but are offended (or afraid of advertisers being offended) by the words “fuck”, “shit”, “bitch”, “pussy”, “rape”, “suicide”, so on and so fourth.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Yeah, I don’t get it. I personally don’t like swearing, but I honestly don’t mind reading or hearing it. It’s really weird to me that people get mad at not seeing swearing, as if somehow naughty words make something better.
