I recently took a 20% pay cut to move from a factory to a remote desk job. No regrets.

I ended up getting a pay raise, and out of the field by switching gigs. Now I just shitpost, and clatter away ona keyboard from my swivel-throne. It’s great, and it’s remote.

When people say “remote,” is that the new code word for “working from home or wherever the hell I want to work, such as a swimming pool at a resort in Cabo San Lucas”?

Those people aren’t saying desk jobs are worse or even “just as bad” to make physical laborers feel better; it’s a word of warning to those with so-called “safe” jobs to be cautious of issues many people aren’t aware of.

It’s more about total impact on the general population. While working labor causes many chronic issues with your body, and working around hazardous materials is it’s own world of hell, sedentary work life is one of, if not the, reason that obesity, and a million cardio thoracic problems have ballooned to crisis levels.

Nah I like the chaos.
Fist fighting a pizza oven was the highlight of my career.

You can’t leave me with a hanging anecdote like that

So true, every non-desk job is a non-stop nightmare of blood and guts. I’ve worked a physical job for 30 years and saw a guy twist his ankle once and another guy cut his finger and need two stitches. I pray the nightmares will stop

There’s many jobs short of that without being a desk-job. Lots of factory jobs that work with candy-ass thruput or whatever. Candy-ass is nice

I don’t know man, seeing someone twist their ankle? How could you sleep, reliving that experience every night?

Genuinely: the worst part about my swivel throne job is that i spend all day perusing the algorithmically curated contents of Pandoras box.

They say you need no union if your collar isn’t blue
Well that is just another lie the boss is telling you!
For the union makes us strong!

Sounds like bad employers and safety laws issue, tbh. I was in a much better shape when I worked in a kitchen than now with an office job, personally, even considering the absolute idiots I had to work with.

At least AI is going to get rid of those office jobs. So dont worry about this

I work in a country with fairly stringent health and safety laws, still when we were young, it didn’t stop my friend and colleague from mixing chlorine bleach cleaner with an acid based cleaner for “extra” cleaning power, and consequently getting us all sent home early from work! 😂

Today I worked a corporate event. It was a lunch for all the bigwigs celebrating the completion of a freeway… that was completed 10 years ago.
These people just spend all day jerking eachother off while the guys who actually built the road are still out there working.
