People love to talk about how zoomers are so woke and redpilled, but all the ones I ever meet are Bernie Bro commies.....

2019-12-16 21:41:37 UTC  

You have to keep in mind, they are only woke and redpilled in comparison to the fucking millennials.

2019-12-16 21:42:12 UTC  

Kids are always going to be idiot leftists primarily, because they've never had to pay for anything by and large.

2019-12-16 21:42:13 UTC  

There's a lot more woke millenials they just fear the consequences of saying anything

2019-12-16 21:43:07 UTC  

Even people who are sympathetic think the diversity training and alll the related politics are a retarded waste of time

2019-12-16 21:43:28 UTC  

i'ts only the single cat ladies with a masters degree in social work whot hink that shit is a good idea.

2019-12-16 21:43:47 UTC  

and unemployed retards who have never had to sit through diversity training while they have real work to do

2019-12-16 21:52:15 UTC  

I've only had to sit through one, and compared to stories I've heard, it wasn't that bad. Still, I think I would have preferred working through a break or two if it meant not having to sit through the HR guy doing that bullshit chummy, friendly 'I actually give a shit about you,' routine.

2019-12-16 21:56:38 UTC  

Thankfully I've never had to deal with any of that shit. My job is definitely not PC. We use a swimsuit model calendar and one of my coworkers has topless women on his toolbox. It's pretty great when one of my coworkers has to ask me "What the fuck is binary? What the hell does it mean to be non-binary" and then when I explain it, he goes "I don't know man, that shit is all just... pshh, it's fucking weird. I don't get it."

2019-12-16 21:59:07 UTC  

Although the company I work for is pretty conservative (large insurance corporation), they have dabbled in the PC stuff like pandering in emails. I think it's just about image. Keep their image clean and money rolling in.

2019-12-16 22:00:36 UTC  

I think at a certain size, all companies have to indulge that stuff on some level. I work at a company that probably has 20 employees overall.

2019-12-16 22:01:11 UTC  

Yeah we have more like 1000+. It's very one-size-fits-all PC pandering.

2019-12-16 22:02:06 UTC  

Yeah, they have to account for the fact that around 50% of those people buy into that crap.

2019-12-16 22:03:25 UTC  

On the other hand, at their Christmas party every year they get up there and thank sweet baby Jesus in front of the IT department which is made up of a lot of people from India and Pakistan. Lol

2019-12-16 22:03:54 UTC  

What, are you from the south? lol

2019-12-16 22:04:13 UTC  

Nope. But sweet baby Jesus nevertheless.

2019-12-16 22:05:22 UTC  

I'm picturing some sys admin fuming thinking "You should be thanking me, motherfucker!"

2019-12-16 22:06:07 UTC  

I'm right there with 'em lol. Jesus has got nothing to do with our enterprise software.

2019-12-16 22:06:09 UTC  

Poor IT people. I'm so glad I decided to work with my hands instead of following my schooling. All I learned at school was how underappreciated I'd be

2019-12-16 22:06:26 UTC  

The money makes the medicine go down.

2019-12-16 22:07:53 UTC  

Yeah, I program machines to cut stainless steel. So I guess I'm still doing something with computers... Just less office cubicles and more steel toed boots

2019-12-16 22:08:29 UTC  

That would be cool. I program accounting software. Steel-toed cubicles for me.

2019-12-16 22:09:32 UTC  

Doing something like that would make me envious of people who watch paint dry. So mundane

2019-12-16 22:10:22 UTC  

It sounds a lot duller than it is. A better way to put it is that I solve puzzles all day.

2019-12-16 22:10:52 UTC  

But every time I try to leave they find a way to keep me.

2019-12-16 22:12:26 UTC  

Hey, me too! Except when I fuck up it's less error text and more the sound of grinding metal. It's... exhilarating.

2019-12-16 22:12:50 UTC  

Sounds like expensive fuckups.

2019-12-16 22:12:51 UTC  

black people will never become trump supporters bc they want to speak their anti jewish minds.... #jewseycity2019

2019-12-16 22:13:06 UTC  

Yeaaa.... I've lost a $10k piece before..

2019-12-16 22:13:16 UTC  

Holy shit

2019-12-16 22:13:34 UTC  

I probably make the company around $50k a day

2019-12-16 22:13:38 UTC  

w/o the media putting them down

2019-12-16 22:13:59 UTC  

Which... now realizing this, I need a raise!

2019-12-16 22:14:11 UTC  

#soundbit "I doubt it"

2019-12-16 22:14:19 UTC  

Good Lord, most I've done is kill production servers in the middle of backups.

2019-12-16 22:14:35 UTC  

Which is a huge headache, but not ten Grand worth.

2019-12-16 22:15:26 UTC  

killing is never good

2019-12-16 22:15:57 UTC  

Yeah, working on a custom pinion for a water pump that drains the water from a reservoir in Mexico. Thank god I have a nice boss, because I felt like I would've lost my job that day

2019-12-16 22:16:26 UTC  

from my experience with mexico corporations/companies... their shit sucks

2019-12-16 22:16:35 UTC  

"It's only ten grand. We all make mistakes."

2019-12-16 22:17:13 UTC  

I didn't know it was that much at the time. He just said "Cut another piece of stock and try again"
