Unless you have had a career as a janitor, it is extremely patronizing to tell the janitors of the world how fulfilling they should find their jobs.

- marginalia_nu 2y agoYou're free to make judgements about my work all day. Now come on, give me an argument for why it is patronizing. Stop implying it.
- wtetzner 2y agoI guess because if you haven't done it, how would you know if it's fulfilling?
- marginalia_nu 2y agoI'm not claiming it is though, only comparing relative degrees of alienation from the outcome of your work.
- makeitdouble 2y agoIt's less about personal views, and more about the fact that janitor's job is time and location bounded, and the result is immediate and readily assessable. Our jobs can be the polar opposite of all of that.
- agnoster 2y agoDidn't say "should", just said "can"?
- senordevnyc 2y agoHave you had a career as a janitor?
- drawkward 2y agoAm I telling janitors how "fulfilling" they should find their jobs?
- senordevnyc 2y agoYou're strongly implying that their jobs are not fulfilling, which it sounds like you have no more basis to claim than those you're responding to.
