Calling fast food workers monkeys won't make you look any smarter.
- reaperducer 6y agoI'm not. It's a very common business phrase about cheap labor, even here on HN. The fact that you equate the two says more about you than me.
- javajosh 6y agoI've not heard that term used, and its bad. You shouldn't dehumanize people for being "cheap labor". Honestly, that guy flipping burgers is doing more real good for people than any number of highly paid software devs working on VC funded projects that will mostly end up in the trash.
- ahartmetz 6y agoI think it's more acceptable to make fun of people of your level of privilege and up (like the management who underpays) and less of those lower. If a fast food worker at a better paying, better run chain or restaurant said it, it would be still a little mean (as intended), but not kicking down.
- xeromal 6y agoyup. They call it punching up. No one likes someone who punches down. lol
