      Or she’s paid for her skills/experience/contacts, and he anon doesn’t have any of those.

      edit: She probably makes lots of money for her employer in those 1 or 2 conversations per day

          Eh, I’m not pro-management or anything. Maybe anon should be angry at their higher-ups instead of being annoyed at the success of their wife

            Doesn’t seem to me like op is annoyed at wifes success. Op os annoyed that bullshit jobs make tons of money and the actual hard work only earns you a broken body, depression, and poverty.

            You dont think laborers deserve ample time off and good pay?
            Please explain your position.

    She’s possibly a manager of some kind, I have seen plenty of managers that have days that are kinda like this, though less extreme

    Remember:

    If you saw someone living a decent life while “working” a bullshit job, no you didn’t!

      Yeah no. If I’m starving working 50 hours/week I’m gonna be pretty fuckin pissed seeing someone do fuck all for more.

      I’m not saying I’m gonna take it out on them but if they ever complain about work I’ll eviscerate them.

          And this isn’t always possible. In fact it commonly isn’t. I do agree the people who don’t do anything and complain is stupid but many jobs don’t have any opportunity for more and you become stuck.

            Then find something else, expand your skill.

            If everyone did that, those jobs would have to change or nobody would do them.

            Live your life for yourself, not for others.

    Yeah I bet it’s really annoying for your wife to contribute to her your shared income with her hustling skills gtfo. This is either fake or they’re both professional workers doing so well the man-child has to whine about how much money she they make.

      I am an elementary school teacher. I took a personal day and I was hanging with my friend. She works virtually for an NGO. She replied to a few emails, updated some data in a spreadsheet, she called a few people. That was all she did. I made some snide remarks about it and she was like ‘oh I’m sure your job is so much harder.’

      The sheer audacity. I do all that shit she does, in 20 minutes before class starts, while I am slamming coffee and doughnuts. Then I do exhausting work all day.

        If every worker wants other’s to have it as bad as them we’d all be slaves, blame the employers and economic conditions rather than the worker who has it better than you. Really if your job is stressful and more work you should want better conditions for yourself, not worse conditions for someone else. She has knowledge that professional employers think is worth paying for, that’s not something you should blame her for.

        IMO I think for teachers and nurses, they should be way better compensated, and even treated as a special class.

          While I agree, and I am a part of my teachers union, I also don’t see any evidence that teachers will suddenly become respected and well paid. Like, Suddenly we all realized that we should feel grateful that we can read. Nope.

          My NGO, WFH friend thinks she is working hard. The reality is, in our current system, the harder one works the less one is going to make. For her she has a stable position in the NGO.

          Their goal is to help save fisheries and wild fish stock. In reality she doesn’t even know what salmon looks like unless it’s on a bagel.

          You think these billionaires are just a billion times more hard working? They are just manipulative, insular, myopic, and selfish. Those are the key ingredients to success in our system. Surprise surprise, they are the opposite characteristics that a good teacher requires.

      I only recently learned that large onlyfans accounts hire employees to reply to all of the messages. Does data entry in the field of sex work qualify as being a sex worker or are you merely a sex industry ghost writer?

        I only recently learned that large onlyfans accounts hire employees to reply to all of the messages.

        I think most public figures with large social media accounts do. It’s not really possible for a single person to answer messages for someone with millions or even thousands of followers, but the appearance of personal connection is important to build your brand. All of it boils down to the commoditization of the fear of loneliness.

        It’s very unhealthy.
