Found the car salesman.
All Carsalesmen Are Bastards.
Im not a salesperson, but I do work at one.
This has been a very "First they came for the Insurance Then they came for journalists then they came for salespeople" kind of feel
Technology doesn't make more better jobs for people. It just eliminates jobs, and people move on to usually worse jobs. or none at all
The moment someone ponies up and decides to pay my bills, I'll quit my job and join the rah rah crowd. but until then, I speak for both the innocent office workers, the technicians, service advisors, and the sleazy salespeople, they all gotta fucken eat.
I get that
Needed to fix issues. Makes sense.
Starting to lose me
They can get fucked. And not just sleazy car salesmen but all sleazy salespeople.
Why does the responsibility fall on someone else for you not to be a (self proclaimed) sleazy salesperson?
If someone wants to tell another person they shouldn't have the job that they do, then unless they're either going to pay the living expenses or arrange for them to move somewhere else without taking a huge loss on the home they currentley own, Their complaints are just noise.
There's things I'd rather do, but I never got the opportunities to realize them without taking massive risk to myself or family. And the job I have, fell into my lap during a time when it was and still is hard to find decent paying work around here close to my home. So at the end of the day, its the lower and middle income people telling other lower and middle income people their jobs shouldnt exist, who can get fucked.
