I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

    I'm not sure I do, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is consumer psychologists. I once read an argument that they could be improving people's mental health, instead they are working on manipulating people into buying more.

    Chiropractors. It's pseudoscience. Maybe it's not the most unique opposition from me as I know some others dislike chiropractors, but I think it's backwards that medical aids or health insurance will literally pay for their client's appointments with these modern day charlatans, while denying payment of scientifically proven treatment options.

      Would be better to abolish free storage of private assets on public land either by reclaiming the ROW, causing people to have to manage their own storage or charging for said storage either with registration fees or parking fees. Someone's gotta collect.

    Advertising. Landlord. Intelligence agent or special operator for a bourgeois state.

    Off-topic: Lemmy really needs better crosspost functionality.

    Lemmy is a small group of people, let's not divide it further by having the exact same conversation in two (or more) places.

      no, it's a feature, not a bug, that we can have more than one community for discussing the same topic here; makes it harder to censor

        It did use to be when rent was low and tenants had stronger rights. When things broke, you'd have to fix it yourself or hire someone to do it. When a tenant was making everyone else in the building feel unsafe it was up to you to drag them out.

        When rent went up and tenants rights were thrown out of the window, it became easy street. You hire someone to take care of it all, and sip your coffee in the morning.

        It genuinely used to be a high risk, low reward venture. The shortage of housing skyrocketed it into an occupation for rich dullards to sit on their ass all day.

        Do you have any idea how hard it is to sit on your ass until the end of the month and then carry all those checks to the bank and sign them all? Think of the poor landlords and their signing hands! 😢

      Somewhat agree. The good ones you'd never know exist until you need help. They are a god send. Fuck the rest of them

    The wording of this question has a very narrow permitted window for an answer, but I'll say fuck "influencers" anyway. Entire concept should be rolled back like 20 years. Disc jockeys and similar precursors weren't quite so prone to being narcissistic kiddie creepers that were famous for being famous.

    Kudos to the people who actually adhered to the "unique" part of this. No, you're not unusual for hating money men. It's only a matter of time until someone posts "cops".

    The entire entertainment industry is gross and depressing seen from anywhere close to the inside, but I'm not sure I'd really say I oppose it in concept.

      jagoff "unique" doesn't necessarily mean you and only you uniquely hate the occupation. Your hatred for that profession might be unique among the professions you hate. It's not really specified what OP meant by the question.

        Yes, it was poorly worded, that's fair. In the context of OP's other simultaneous post, and in the context that it's typical to ask for "unpopular" responses it's a bit clearer.

        The jerking off thing is a definite projection. No u.
