Agreed, but I also think that some people are really fulfilled embracing this soulless corporate fake culture precisely because they are empty themselves to begin with.

Nothing feels more soul crushing than not having a dedicated space for yourself while you work. Unassigned, completely open seating and no privacy is cancer.

If they actually think worse of you at your interview because of you dressing too nicely then you don't want to work there. You might be desperate for a job but remember where ever you work at you'll most likely spend more time there on average than you do at home.

the reason why these top schools and jobs higher people with higher extracurriculars and interesting hobbies is because of how competitive the environment is. they want people that have outlets for stress. they want athletes/creatives/volunteers etc. because they know that when shit gets tough at school/work they have things to do where they can blow off that pent up steam/frustration. people without these things on their resume are a liability, they don't want someone that can't release stress outside of the workplace. you might be the smartest person in your class but if all you do is study and work then it's going to reach a point where you'll do something crazy at school/work and they don't want that.

they'll pretend they favor outgoing extracurricular types because they'll 'give back to the community' but it's a front for the truth. next time you apply for a reach school or a tough job make sure to mention you played football in high school or volunteer at a homeless shelter

How do these things relate to each others? People with hobbies are the ones who are less focus on their jobs. Look at all the snowflakes that come out of Ivy these days.

when your Theranos material, you just KNOW

The last 3 places I've worked moved from offices/cubicles to an open landscape office, and every single fucking person I talked to in the company absolutely fucking despised it. Even the most social people in the company fucking hated it.

Every single time, the general atmosphere in the company went from being good to absolute shit. When there were offices and cubicles, people could actually talk with one another without disturbing 20 people who were trying to concentrate. With the open landscape bullshit, if you need to communicate with one person, you either have to drag them out of the room or end up disturbing the entire office.

skilled jobs where you operate equipment to me are the best way to go. no office environment, you get to play with some big machines, get outside, feel the sun...now that its clear these jobs are here to stay for some time there's no downside.

I've been thinking the same, but productivity doesn't go up. People are fucking miserable, and the best talent ends up leaving the company in droves since the atmosphere becomes so shit.

of course! the higher ups commission some bullshit study from a university they donate tens of millions to just confirm what they want to hear and then present it as evidence to the proles that "you are happier now! look at how happy you are! this study proves you are happy!"

Shit like this, the lunch rooms being designed as prison cafeterias and Walmart taking out life insurance policies on their employees only enhances my belief that Walmart is actually trying to make their employees commit suicide as a way to generate pure profit.

I'm talking about the bottom barrel wagies working the register and stocking shelves who are easily replaced. With the whole life insurance on employees thing becoming public, I genuinely believe that corporate has decided that pushing the depressed wagies towards suicide is good for business. Why wouldn't they? When they can squeeze $90,000 out of the insurance company and have the dead slave replaced by noon the next day.

this user knows what's up. i work in industry in the US and shit is, to a certain degree, booming in my sector/region. the thing is: we make things, things people need to have a functioning society. many 'services' can be automated very easily. even highly automated plants, like where I work, require a good deal of operators and support people (maintenance, engineers, quality personnel). the day all those managers and paper pushers are obsolete will be a good day for those of us who make shit.

Like how didn't Henry goddamn Kissinger look at her, listen to her ramble about MUH WORLD CHANGING TECH and immediately see through her bullshit? Fuck man, I'd have a hard time loaning this weirdo $15 let alone BILLIONS.

HOW did so many "intelligent" professionals get duped SO hard? Was she blowing them on the side or something? I really don't get it.

Any job where you are physical is nothing like a job where you have to sit at a desk all day. It's horrible to be tied to a desk when you're healthy.

most office jobs are just moving data around and AGI in its current state is actually much more adept at solving those problems than maneuvering having equipment or performing complicate tasks in the physical world.

it just makes the most sense. the radar and sensors blue collar automation requires are just more degrees of complication and things that break, AGI within a network is comfortably in its own world. the fact that we were even pushed a "NO MORE BLUE COLLAR WORLD" meme in the first place by the media is highly suspicious.

That really depends on your definition of doing well.

not really

The point is that people stocking shelves and working the register at Walmart are obviously already at a low point in their lives. When everything in their workplace seems to be designed to only enhance their depression, and their employer has a $90k life insurance policy on them, you have to wonder why that is.

this lady stole millions if not billions and probably put a lot people at risk for giving out false blood reports. she's out right now in a luxury apartment banging some hotel mogul. meanwhile some dude who swipes a $10 roasted chicken is in jail for 20 years

an idea that could potentially disrupt the entire medical industry helmed by a stronk independent woman (regardless of how weird she was, which i believe helped her image as a 'genius') is prone to dupe anyone that throws their money at people like her day in and day out

I have no problem working for Walmart. I did work for them for about 1.5 years. I got ill and tendered my resignation when I was laid up for 2 weeks. It was a low wage but more than enough to live anywhere that isn't a liberal enclave. More importantly it was easy fun work with plenty of time to socialize.

all these corporations need to do is cut the hours of work by 1/3. that's literally it. no need to spend huge sums of money on keeping morale high by making people feel like family. literally just give people more time to live their own lives. people would much rather meditate/dance on their own accord during their newfound free time AWAY from work. why is it so hard for these places to realize that no one wants to mediate with susan from HR or bob from accounting?

Maybe you just have a beef with Walmart and are automatically projecting your assumption people are in a bad spot. Or, SURPRISE, most people in the bottom economic strata don't have their shit together. That doesn't mean everyone doesn't, and it had nothing to do with employers. PEOPLE are responsible for THEMSELVES. And employer is responsible for paying you for hours worked. Pretending Walmart is the problem is not only ridiculous, it does a disservice to everyone, especially the people who don't work at Walmart and are way more fucked up than the average Walmart worker.

>if you are slashing the workday by a third you are REDUCING COMPANY PROFITS BY AT LEAST 33%.
Not the guy you're responding to and I agree with your first point, but you're reducing company expenditures by the cost of that time. Also there are limits to worker productivity, and many workers in offices spend more than enough time goofing off or spacing out that they might actually be improving productivity (and thus, their worth to the company) with more time off

Just assuming every minute of the day is spent equally (so no assumptions of when productivity is highest, when demand is highest, etc), reducing the workday by a third will reduce wages and profits by a third. Every company can stand to optimize but the best way to do that is not always obvious. Reducing work by 1/3 across the board will wreck havoc, and is also unnecessary. No one is forced to work a salaried position. Don't be an idiot and exempt yourself from labor laws if it bothers you to work 60 hours a week.

This idea that because some people get worked to the bone by their employer, that there oughtta be a law, is so laughable. People decide to work their ass off. Who are you to tell them otherwise?

YES. Its fucking horrific. Every single owner of a company in corporate america has the same psychopath eyes. They make you do these things they think humans would enjoy. Hence, the webm...

cosy as shit. You just sit there with coffee and biscuits while people sort out all the problems they're having.

There were a few studies in my country in which they tried to reduce the work-week from 5 days/40 hours to 4 days/32 hours, and see how it would impact productivity of general operations. These were obviously offices and not manufacturing or other jobs where it is a physical impossibility to improve productivity.

The study showed that the vast majority of workers increased their productivity during the 4 days due to having an additional day of rest, and the overall result was that their completed workloads was actually greater during the 4-day work week, than it was during the 5-day work week.

Again, it obviously won't work in every environment, but it can work for some.

the point was originally made about salaried employees that dont get paid overtime. obviously they're retarded for not working for wages or comissions but that's an entirely separate argument that i didn't make

Attacking employers for doing this is pretty silly though. A salary is tempting to people for obvious reasons. It's guaranteed income. But no one is forced to do anything. It's a system of voluntary exchange, where people agree to trade their time and labor for money.

To assume you know better than these people how they should spend their money is ludicrous and paternalistic to the highest degree. No one thinks Walmart is a glamorous job. But for many people it is the first step to employment, and to others it's easy cash while they do whatever they want (me). And for some it's a job while they ruin their lives.

spend their time*

because working for a wage is trading, essentially. time for money.

Salaried employees in burgerland aren't automatically eligible for overtime? What the fuck? Don't the contracts for salaried employees state that they will earn X amount of money for Y amount of hours worked?

Do they just work for free if their boss asks? What the fuck is this cuck shit?

>reducing the workday by a third will reduce... profits by a third
I never said there ought to be a law, I'm arguing that companies should be doing this themselves so they can minimize the time where workers are inhabiting the building without doing any work

How would you make an office job less soul crushing?

>more breaks
>more vacation days
>gift vouchers every now and then (different from just a cash bonus, making people shop for something is better than just straight up money sometimes)
>4 work days instead of 5

Whoops, forgot to add that companies will be able to identify where these productivity and profitability gaps are and adjust accordingly. If your restaurant doesn't get any customers before noon, it makes perfect sense to open at noon. Otherwise you have employees running machines and generally increasing costs with no return for a few hours. Why not cut those hours?

I think it's amusing you think reducing the work day by 1/3 will automatically make the workforce more productive by a commensurate amount.

Maybe a short work day will encourage people to slack off more. If I only have to put in 5.5 hours, I wonder how many of those .1 I can shave off taking an extra long shit?

I'm with you. From my position I think we will move towards a new kind of economy where the only jobs are related more directly with production while transistors do all the busy work for us. All the haughty office types are in for some pain in the next dozen or so years. Can't wait.

yes. there are companies that set up a business model where the average work week is 80 hours and people, straight out of college, will sign up for it and slave away for two years. bonus is a $150 amex card if you exceed what's expected of you.

these companies look so good on resume's that people willingly do this to themselves for a few years so they can get a better job. turnover for these corporations are so high for the lower staff level/junior analyst positions because they're churning these kids out of college every year paying them a base salary for insane hours.

You think this is a trivial problem, but people have been writing up work schedules for centuries and still can't perfect it. That's because human behavior has a degree of unpredictability to it.

Here's the setup at my current office job:

>Can take breaks whenever the fuck I'd like. Often take 30 minute shitbreaks to browse Yea Forums. Lunch break is 45 minutes (paid)
>Since lunch break is 45 minutes, actual workday is 7 hours and 15 minutes
>25 paid vacation days. Can take as many unpaid vacation days as I want, as long as manager approves and it doesn't affect general operations
>Mandatory office hours are 10am-2pm. Meaning I can start working at 6am and go home at 2pm, or start working at 10am and go home at 6pm. Whatever fits my sleep schedule
>Ability to work from home on fridays
>If I receive a work-related call after-hours, I am eligible for 1 hour of overtime pay, regardless of how long the call lasted
>Ability to work overtime on weekends (on request). Weekend overtime pays 3x the normal daily salary. Meaning if I want to work both Saturday and Sunday, I'll net an extra $1.5k in my monthly salary

Same applies to every employee in the building, and most people are satisfied. I'm not in burgerland, though.

This is not the guy you were responding to, but I am. I do not think ALL service jobs will be automated but that such jobs will overall be more effected my automation than factories. I don't know much about how call centers will play out but I know I hate when I get a human-sounding machine when I call any sort or help line. Maybe they will get better.

>>gift vouchers every now and then (different from just a cash bonus, making people shop for something is better than just straight up money sometimes)
Fuck off. Gift vouchers are shit and I would much rather just get a cash bonus. You never end up using all the money on a gift voucher anyway.

Because they didn't. Theranos was a front company for shady government shit that they threw under the bus when a journalist started sniffing around.

>There's too much vague and human stuff in it.
i feel like you're not even aware of the kind of progress machines are making. i don't mean the kind that gets publicized in the news, i mean the REAL progress that won't be uncovered for years due to tech corporations wanting to drip these 'developments' inch by inch every year so they can reap the most amount of profits.

apple can make hologram laptops. they're hiding their powerlevel not because they don't have the tech to do it, but because making miniscule changes to each device for years on end is infinitely more profitable than putting everything they have on the table for the next release.

point is the average person has no idea how far AI REALLy is

you cannot reason with retarded boomers. They're angry about wasting their lives for lying bosses and the idea of other people avoiding that same fate terrifies them.

If you didn't formally resign, the life insurance they have on your head is probably still active. So don't do it. It's what they want you to do.

>I know I hate when I get a human-sounding machine when I call any sort or help line.
Exactly. I don't think it's ever going to get to the point where it's totally convincing. I'm almost a robot on the phone; I pretty much just stick to the call flow and rarely bother to socialize with people. It's an inbound call center so I can no incentive to build rapport. It's more about volume than anything, but I still get conversion from people who don't want to deal with a computer system.

Humans are very good at picking out fakes and imposters. It's hardwired into our biology to spot deception in social interaction. As long as we are human, and interact with humans, humans will be at the forefront of customer service. Even deepfakes require a human narrator. In 100 years maybe it will pass the Pepsi challenge.

Open offices provably lower productivity

>You think this is a trivial problem
Again, stop putting words in my mouth. This is a huge problem, you have people spending large amounts of their limited time on this earth sitting in jobs but not actually working. Cut the dead space and everybody is happier (provided there's a reasonable wage/salary increase). The worker gets more time off, the employer gets to cut costs for the time not used productively.

I'm 23 and have never had a job. The thought of going into soul-crushing wageslave retail work or becoming a corporate drone fills me with the bleakest despair and makes me want to kill myself. What am I going to do, bros? How am I going to avoid the rat race?

>Again, stop putting words in my mouth. This is a huge problem

>Whoops, forgot to add that companies will be able to identify where these productivity and profitability gaps are and adjust accordingly.
>Why not cut those hours?
It's not that simple. That's why. Though AI is already doing a better job of scheduling people than people do. But even the best AI cannot predict human behavior. Any job that involves interacting with an unpredictable human element will have unpredictable demands, and require flexibility and readiness in scheduling. The easiest way to stay ready it to stay staffed.

It's not that bad. Just imagine being homeless where rape is a currency.

Are you a shut-in?

You could always do some dumb shit like become a park ranger, swimming instructor, garbage man, etc. Thousands of options.

Are you good at art?

So say you're an employer and you've figured out that in the last 3 years of business, not one dollar has been earned after 2:00 PM. However, between 2:00 and 5:00 you still have people in the office, using computers, using the phones, requiring the building be kept cool, keeping the lights on, etc. Do you think it would be okay to say "Everyone can go home at 2:00?"

I got a two year degree to become an electronics technician and I fix machines in a factory. I love my job. I read a lot when things aren't breaking, when things do break it is like being a detective to discern the cause and fix and I mostly joke with my similarly blue collar coworkers. This is an option for you.

I'd rather not hang around with blue collar proles.

I am sure the employer has a good reason to keep people working, if for no other reason than it keeps those people on the clock, assuming they are working for a wage. Or the employer is a fool, which is entirely possible, but really that's the employer's prerogative to be foolish.

At least you are allowed to leech. My dad is also loaded but I have to work or get disowned.

Then become a park ranger. You get to chase hobos out of your territory.

My point is, obviously in your example it would be ok to let people go. but it's such a cherry-picked example it does not deserve serious consideration. You do not know what employers know. Assume they know more than you.

It depends on the office.

I'm in the UK and work in an open plan office. My team is all a similar age and we all get along well. We often meet up outside of work, go for afterwork activities, and i've even been on lads holidays with most of them. We're genuine friends and so being in an open plan environment with them is actually very enjoyable.

Fair enough but they at least don't talk like faggots, can take a joke and are capable of completing useful tasks with their hands.

You won't be working for long, eventually your life will fall apart. The capitalist will have made a lot off you.

You realise that working salaried just guarantees money for that time worked? You don't automatically get overtime anywhere. That's entirely company policy.

They mention it in the documentary, it was for FDA approval for a single, rarely used blood test on their edison machine, which is essentially meaningless when they offer over 200, the vast majority of which werent being done on those machines. It was like winning the tiniest battle but partying like you won the war.

What ever happened to the Gen X attitude? Holy fuck

work for a govt lab. you'll make less than industry but it's worth it

>You realise
>You don't automatically get overtime anywhere

No, I didn't realise that, which was why I asked the question to begin with. In my country, if your salary is for 40 hours of work and you are made to work 41 hours, you are by law eligible for overtime pay. Employers can't force employees to work for free here.

When I finished my masters and thought about doing a PhD, I asked around and only heard horror stories.

Gen X are literally turning into boomers as they're all turning 50

this reminds me of bitconnect looololl

p.s. go for a fucking DoD lab. you will never have to deal with the type of faggotry you're seeing ITT. when we have our "all hands" type meetings they start with the fucking national anthem

doing a PhD is great if you have the right advisor

Yes very funny haha it's just so silly giving people their fucking freedom.

I'm not broken just because I don't have a job. I also don't have any crazy political views, don't have any mental illness, no autism, not antisocial, have a normal height and weight, good hygiene, don't do drugs, don't have trouble conversing, don't watch anime (this is a big one), and am just a regular albeit slightly dumb guy. I dropped out of college because I didn't fit in and it was making me miserable. The reason I don't have any friends is because I don't really get opportunities to make any as I'm not in school or work. I don't think people here are as one-dimensional as you make them out to be.

>The problem is I'm just too dumb for engineering or anything related to it.
That doesn't stop some of the people I work with! The electronics program I was in was somewhat grueling, I guess, but if you are dedicated and understand how algebra works its not too bad. The main thing is to have an interest in it. I got into electronics because I was fascinated by how guitar amps work so I had a Why. If you have Why, you can deal with any How.

None of this is to say my job is cake. It can be exhausting and occasionally mind numbing. Some days are fucked up something awful and nothing wants to run correctly. Moving big electric motors and separating parts that are bound together with fine rust dust and such can be a bitch. Tracing down bits in a byzantine program some French nigger (I work for France's finest tire manufacturer) wrote can be obnoxious. But over all I really like what I do and maybe you would too. The point is there is all kinds of shit out there and, like you, I could never sit at a desk shifting information around while pretending to care about football/whatever with the guy at the desk next to me.
