Marketing, particularly Ads people. They exist only to hype shitty products, primarily. Sure they might get eyeballs on unknown brands, but I feel like that's not what they are paid big bucks for.
post
Iβm gonna suggest two:
- anyone at all who works at ICE
- anyone who works at an America health insurance company in any sort of managerial or leadership capacity
Marketing and advertisers
This. Their job is litterally to get people to spend money on something they otherwise wouldn't spend money on. And they have a no holds barred attitude about separating people from their money.
Hedge fund investors, CEOs, cops, self help industry folks, homeopathic medicine salespeople, organizational structure consultants, social media influencers,
just gonna keep adding,
Suburban development planners, strip mall developers, developers who displace PoC neighborhoods, anyone in health insurance in the US, Catholic not-for-profits writ large, Catholic priests, tourist helicopter pilots...
Why tourist helicopter pilots? Everything else speaks for itself so Iβm curious about that one lol
Corporate lobbyists. They've played a large part in the gradual destruction of the USA in the name of profit for their filthy-rich overlords.
Scammer. People don't think it's a "profession" in the true sense but it absolutely is. Majority of higher up people in scam call centers or phishing campaigns do it as their day job and they certainly make more money than the average honest worker putting in the same amount of effort.
I have a volunteer at my dog rescue who got her MBA but focused specifically on non-profit administration. Sheβs amazing, one of the most amazing we have because she handles grant writing and all the paperwork that keeps us in line. Her income job is with an np that helps refugees get their new life established.
Itβs like lawyers that actually use their training for good, few and far between but there are some out there.
I still never remember what the fuck MBA stands for without looking it up, I can only think "Master Bachelor Associate" because I feel they're that pretentious; but, I know that's incorrect.
My former boss at an engineering firm had to do an MBA to climb the ladder. He said the secret to success was just to stop thinking rationally
Chiropractors. Itβs quackery performed by scam artists and idiots. A βghostβ told a crazy man about this magic during a seance, and his son saw a way to make a buck. The only thing itβs proven to do is cause paralysis.
In the same vein, homeopaths, and psychics that take advantage of vulnerable people (aka all of them)
I miss James Randiβ¦
wonder how less popular all that shit would be if the US just jad proper affordable/accessible healthcare like the most pf the rest of the modern world
I do want to say that not all chiropractors claim to be able to cure everything with adjustments. Some are more like physical therapists. In fact my actual physical therapist did what a chiropractor does a few times. And I did feel better. But I have met plenty of the snake oil salesman type as well. Saying they can cure cancer with all sorts of things. Grifter gunna grift, no matter what name you slap on them.
Salespeople at car dealerships (used or new), and dealership owners moreso. In North America they benefit from protectionist laws to keep people from buying cars directly from manufacturers, which adds approximately $2k to the sale of each car on average. Pointless middlemen who are almost universally the worst people you can imagine. And the dealer service shops are not much better than scams either.
I'm sorry you had that experience. I work with former dealer technicians and they are good at fixing cars. Decent people all around. The service writers are often to blame. But with all that money on the line there is plenty of blame to go around. Fuck cars.
Real-estate agents, followed by recruiters. Those people usually make good money while being absolutely shit at their jobs.
Try to find a real-estate agent who is capable of taking a single picture without their thumb partially covering the camera lensβ¦
I had an Army recruiter call me when I was in H.S. After his initial "sales pitch' I told him I didn't believe in the military. That asshole was positively apoplectic. He went on the predictable "if-it-wasn't-for-the-military-we'd-all-be-speaking-Russian" screed, to which I just hung up on him.
Lobbyists, Human Resources, CEOβs, Corporate Attorney, Hedge fund manager, FBI, CIA, Mossad, ICE and Televangelist
Law enforcement, military, defense contractors, Ad people, Mainstream economists and the obvious that follow from those such as so and so at policy institute of so and so.
Insurance workers/administrators. They are there to prevent you from getting the healthcare you need. Luigi did nothing wrong. The night that human shit-stain got shot, Luigi was at my house drinking beers and playing cards.
Generically sales people. People that call themselves hustlers. Whatever grind mindset that the people who talk that up the most always ends up being people ladder stepping salespeople
I despise tow operators (unless they exclusively work for repair shops) and their lesser cousins, car booters.
I'm also a "fuck cars" adherent, but tow operators are cop collaborators, and car booters are assisting them both to steal and ransom people's personal property at the behest of capital.
- (in-house) Recruiter
- Project Manager
- Agile Coach
These are probably my top three. Recruiters who work in company HR, are usually very moody about who they pick, based on personal preference rather than facts. Sole proprietor recruiters are effective though, thatβs why only the in-house ones.
The other two are similar, but theyβre the βI work in ITβ people who neither possess nor perform the technicalities. Actual imposters (unlike many good folk who do fair work but sometimes suffer from the βimposter syndromeβ).
And yes, exceptions happen too. I just dislike these three roles in particular.
Private equity firms, Attorney General, scalpers
Then I won't say but thats my answer
That's gonna be everyone's answer, hence I asked for anything else
Read the room, bro.
He literally did.
No, he wouldn't have asked if he did.
Seriously, why ask if you know the answer. Maybe ask what everyone's second most hated profession is? Y'know, cause I can read, and if you already know the first....
It's not that DW is dumb, its that she is stubborn and obstinate about being told what to do. Clearly you understand what the post was asking, you are just upset because it didn't ask it the way you wanted and doesn't contain the sentiment you wanted either.
Okay, I think we're crossed here. I am annoyed by your comment, not the way OP worded their question. Now my opinion, that this question is useless if you don't want the real answer, still stands. But you're not reading the room if you ask an obvious question but dont want the obvious answer. So my gripe here is with you not OP. Because they weren't reading the room as you claim. K, cool, facts are straight for you now.
They made a book based on that horrible movie??
Weapons dealers and manufacturers, realators, landlords, lobbyists, law enforcement officers, immigration officers or any other monopolists of violence.
I can't believe this is the only mention of landlords to date.
Probably because most people don't think of it as a "profession". Lots of landlords hire property managers, which is a profession, but the landlord themselves are just collecting the money. Small-time landlords that might have 1 or 2 places they rent out probably have a real job, and just landlord on the side.
It's probably a relatively small percentage of landlords who actually do the work themselves, and do it as a full time job.
It's not really a profession, more of a business which you may or may not run yourself.
There's also the kind that's old and semi-retired and cares for properties part time. I'm curious what the breakdown is now. When it comes to the big properties, at least in Canada it seems like there's more multi-shareholder corporate landlords than Trump family-type landlords.
Scammers/grifters. Put all that effort into something moral and legal and make a living without having to worry.
Disability lawyers. Don't get me wrong, there are good ones. But I see so many that make people do everything themselves, help exactly zero with anything after the initial application, and they take a cut of the proceeds if people's applications are approved. They do something allegedly if the case is escalated up to a judge, but many of them that I've dealt with seem incompetent at best and predatory at worst.
Not mentioned yet, people working at real estate agencies (at least for renting). They take a lot of money from both sides and at best just unlock the houses so people can see them, at worst they are actively disruptive to the process.
Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don't know what they don't know.
As an engineer, I can understand your sentiment. Unfortunately, it's a field that attracts a lot of smart and socially awkward people. Those whose heads enjoy engineering challenges often lack self awareness, and it results in either being really awkward or being obnoxious, or both. The "good ones" are less loud, so you don't hear from them as much.
I love engineers <3
Software engineers though tend toward tech bro. But on the other hand there are Really Amazing SWEs that again just aren't that loud or annoying so you gotta be patient or lucky to meet them.
As an engineer, I suppose I should be offended by this. But I realize that it is based on "emotions," a type of internal sensory experience some humans have on a daily basis. This is not logical, and shall be disregarded. End statement.
I always see people online answering lawyers to this question but after thinking about it I don't really understand why. Sure they might represent some horrible people but in the end they are just there to make someone gets due process.
I may have a theory but put your tin foil hats on
Maybe it's a psyops from the prosecutors trying to discredit lawyers because they are making their jobs more difficult
Why anyone should hate politicians is beyond me.
Edit: I was talking about hating "politicians" as a profession. I am not talking about just office bearers, but also people whose career is politics, whether they win elections or not.
There are definitely many power hungry and disingenuous politicians. Probably the vast majority. BUT hating politicians as a rule is just antidemocratic cynicism IMO. An excuse to not pay attention, to not hold politicians accountable, and to not want to compromise under any circumstance.
Defense attorneys. They give you false hope they can give you a positive outcome but they just want more billable hours.
