Or she’s paid for her skills/experience/contacts, and he anon doesn’t have any of those.

edit: She probably makes lots of money for her employer in those 1 or 2 conversations per day

Eh, I’m not pro-management or anything. Maybe anon should be angry at their higher-ups instead of being annoyed at the success of their wife

Why would it make it absurd? Those few conversations possibly bring the company incredible value. Just because someone works hard doesn’t mean their job has incredible value, since effort isn’t proportional to value.

We don’t know who those customers are. If she’s meeting with Google and Microsoft, or Walmart and Safeway, then “one or two customers” is huge.

Also, we are seeing an easy day for her. Many people are hired for when the shit hits the fan. If there’s a huge recall that jeopardizes all the business with Walmart and Safeway, or some similar issue that affects Google and Microsoft, you better believe she’s doing more than 2 hours of work. That’s probably what she’s waiting for.

That’s a lot of assumptions. I think it’s equally probable that in this insane reality we live in, she doesn’t actually do shit and is basically paid so that her salary won’t get cut from her department’s annual budget.

Remember:

If you saw someone living a decent life while “working” a bullshit job, no you didn’t!

Yeah no. If I’m starving working 50 hours/week I’m gonna be pretty fuckin pissed seeing someone do fuck all for more.

I’m not saying I’m gonna take it out on them but if they ever complain about work I’ll eviscerate them.

Instead of getting mad af someone else’s begter paying job, maybe work to improve your own?

And this isn’t always possible. In fact it commonly isn’t. I do agree the people who don’t do anything and complain is stupid but many jobs don’t have any opportunity for more and you become stuck.

It’s kind of a crab bucket mentality. Virtually anyone any of us have ever seen, who had “jobs” of some sort, were working class, and not mill/billionaire class. We all have more in common with each other than with the one percent, and if someone I know has figured out a way to claw a little bit back, then more power to them so long as they’re not hurting someone. Oh, boo fucking hoo, they figured out a way to scam a livable wage out of a Fortune 500 company! I say, good for them! We should all be so lucky.

Instead of getting mad at a fellow worker for having a job that doesn’t exploit them, why don’t you get mad at the people who actually exploit you?

We call them “flow through heaters” because they take the same info anyone already has and restructure it and put it in a ppt or something.

Ask the bosses that. Would you rather we all suffer? Or would you rather we make it so the people breaking their backs no longer need to?

Trying to drag down the people who are slightly comfortable seems counter productive.
