No saying politicians please
united states businesses
Law Enforcent. Military personnel.
Interesting, are you American? Asking because people from other countries respect their millitary personnel (except pakistan maybe)
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.
They made a book based on that horrible movie??
- (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, that’s why only the in-house ones.
The other two are similar, but they’re the “I work in IT” people who neither possess nor perform the technicalities. Actual imposters (unlike many good folk who do fair work but sometimes suffer from the “imposter syndrome”).
And yes, exceptions happen too. I just dislike these three roles in particular.
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.
Marketing is an industry built around manipulating people to buy things they otherwise wouldn’t be interested in buying. There’s no redeeming quality; the entire premise is shitty.
“Marketing” is just a euphemism for “propaganda.”
Ads make me especially mad because there’s reasonable evidence to suggest they aren’t effective at increasing sales so the whole thing feels like a scam to waste everyone’s time and money
Wait, really? Do you have a link?
The conventional wisdom is that they barely ever work, but they’re also cheap enough per view it still makes economic sense for the one influenced purchase per person per year or whatever.
The research on it is pretty murky because marketing firms frequently fund research studies but if you poke around at some of the many meta-analysis papers out there I think it’s hard to conclude that advertising is a net profit for big companies, at least in a dollars in dollars out sense. Freakonomics did an interesting episode on the topic in 2020.
For a new brand with zero visibility I’m sure ads gain new customers, but established brands (which make up most of the advertising I see) probably aren’t making much of an impact on their sales with their incessant campaigns.
I want to also ad the people who are determined to put ads on FUCKING EVERYTHING. I grew up in the 90s, I remember when gods damn gas pumps were silent… I remember when the flashiest thing we saw on the store was when the soda displays were made into cool shapes… Get off my lawn and take your damn roofing company sign with you.
Fun fact: you can silence most gas pump ads by pushing the second-from-the-top button on the right-hand side of the gas pump screen… Not all pumps, and every now and then I encounter one that uses the third button down, but most pumps I’ve run into can be silenced.
It’s unforgivable they’ve jammed ads into pumps full of disgustingly overpriced gas that you’re already paying for…
I have yet to run into any gas pumps with video ads personally, but this seems like a great way to drive EV adoption
As if they’d not eventually show ads aswell since charging times are even longer…
Luckily(?) charging times are long enough that you’d probably walk away from the charger and wait somewhere else.
That used to work but no longer does on a lot in my area. Stuffing recipts in the speaker holes could help if you know what I mean
keep an awl in the car… poke the speaker .
or, get some 3.5mm male ends and stick it into the headphone port for the bild folks. does it screw the blind/visually impaired from getting gas? sure…but it’s an unfortunate side effect to saving all our ears. I wouldn’t mind if I was blind, I’d just ask the attendant for assistance in pumping.
Is there a statistically significant population of blind people pumping gas? If you struggle to pump gas unassisted, I’m honestly not sure how you would safely operate a vehicle.
If you’re legally blind you cannot get a drivers license. And it doesn’t take much to be legally blind.
I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.
Some ads I saw last year didn’t even talk about the product, I had no clue what they were selling, other than a quirky relationship video
Whatever people with MBA’s do.
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
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.
Master of Bullshitting and Asskissing
Master of business administration.
I have a volunteer at my dog rescue who got her MBA but focused specifically on non-profit administration. She’s 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.
It’s like lawyers that actually use their training for good, few and far between but there are some out there.
No one on earth hates MBAs enough
CEO and Marketing
Hedge fund investors, CEOs, cops, self help industry folks, homeopathic medicine salespeople, organizational structure consultants, social media influencers.
Why tourist helicopter pilots? Everything else speaks for itself so I’m curious about that one lol
Ha, it is a bit personal I guess. They fly routes below 400ft continuously over parks, known landmarks, etc adding noise pollution that really gets to you.
Private equity firms, Attorney General, scalpers
came here to say data broker but private equity takes the cake. no “job” worse.
Chiropractors. It’s quackery performed by scam artists and idiots. A “ghost” told a crazy man about this magic during a seance, and his son saw a way to make a buck. The only thing it’s proven to do is cause paralysis.
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
Fun fact, in Europe a lot of countries will pay for your homeopathy. Woo actually might be a bigger thing there.
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.
In the same vein, homeopaths, and psychics that take advantage of vulnerable people (aka all of them)
I miss James Randi…
Have you followed Captain Disillusion by any chance? Similar vibe.
Sure have, CD is the best
HR managers. They are there to protect the company and not the employees
Scammers/grifters. Put all that effort into something moral and legal and make a living without having to worry.
SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS
I’m 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
Insurance claims adjusters.
