It's not normal to work two full time blue collar jobs. They wear you out. You don't have the energy.
This original post is unbridled greed and while legal, it further cements my opinion about this industry and who it serves in society. It's a wealth transfer to the already wealthy and well connected. The work is laughably easy and the pay is at least an order or magnitude better than the average. The demographics skew hard towards white males.
The reason people start talking about going to the IRS is because they see the inequality and want someone to do something -- even though there is nothing they can do.
- sjs382 6y agoMaybe not normal but it's definitely common. That's splitting hairs though—conversationally, they're a bit interchangeable.
- birdyrooster 6y agoAh yes, I meant common. It is not common that people have two 40+ hour blue collar jobs. Not at all. I would agree if you said its common to have two (nearly full time) part-time jobs at 30-35 hours per week each.
- asdff 6y agoWell yeah, because most blue collar jobs don't want you to be classified as a full time employee. It's still de facto a full time job even if you are only on the time clock for 38, imo.
- birdyrooster 6y agoExactly, they have to work those 38 hours while a tech worker can probably work half of those hours and still get their work done (and again an order of magnitude better pay).
