Our service economy that we live in is structured around there being a poorly paid and poorly treated underclass. Sure some in that class could leave but there aren't enough good jobs for everyone. We're talking about a structural problem, which can't be solved by individual action. I understand that can be hard to conceptualize for some.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoIt isn’t hard to conceptualize because it doesn’t exist as you imagine,there are great service jobs, and calling them all bad is prejudice and shows a lack of experience with any good ones. I know college graduates that work as servers and hosts/hostesses, they love the social life, the tips they make are more than their college required job, and they made a rational decision. The service industry isn’t a monolithic evil.
- hkt 5y ago> The service industry isn’t a monolithic evil. It does somewhat seem that people don't like working in it. From reading the antiwork subreddit, the general feeling appears to be that they want to improve the conditions (by rejecting bad jobs, or unionising) which suggests there is something to be desired.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoAntiwork people don’t like their service job so it’s universally hated? Seems biased to me. Photography is a service job but I don’t see anything but negativity of that kind, it doesn’t mean that all photography jobs suck.
