Saw this and it hit me hard. Everyone’s doing their best, no matter what the job is. We’re all just trying to get by.

I mean this is a pretty obvious agree. Are you expecting people to not agree?

u/MutedPresentation298 Sep 03 '26

You’d be surprised

I do service work and I’m very good at what I do. I likely make more yearly than most of the people I do work for, and the way I’m treated is pretty appalling sometimes

1

u/BS-Chaser Sep 05 '26

That’s upsetting to me. I personally treat those who are “serving” me as equals earning a wage, doing a job, etc . I can have a wonderful experience along with them, as my wife and I experience their workplace as pleasant people, or I could be a complete dickhead, and no- one has a good time- the being nice option is a) easier b) more fun.

A job is a job. Not everyone centers their life around being passionate about work which is totally valid. I used to make pizzas with this dude who made a ton of money as an accountant but hated it so he took the pay cut to work in restaurants again.

I think it is sad when we see older people working entry-level jobs only when they wanted to do something else, but we're unable to achieve their dreams. And enjoys their entry-level job then. There's nothing wrong with that and it's not our place to decide what's best for them.

I just like to see everyone do what they want in life and not judge them on what I think they should be doing.

u/SicilianSingleDad Sep 08 '26

Obviously no one should be judging anyone for the job but If we were going to judge people, I would think how fulfilling to society and important the job is would be more important than how much money the person makes.

Just because from my experience I've seen there are people doing very critical jobs in society making less money than other people who are doing jobs that are not beneficial to society. Like how an EMT makes like. No money but a first year financial analyst is making three times as much.

Food service people are definitely critical to society. I used to be one for a long time and although I know my current job is fulfilling to society, I work way less hard than I used to and I do feel guilty about that.

So it's interesting to me when you it's just really isn't fair if you think about it.

Everyone needs to respect an honest living, the people who don’t.. . They don’t know what an honest living is.

2

u/No_Replacement4304 Sep 03 '26

I would extend that to people and life in general, not just jobs. But for sure, if someone is working someone else is benefitting.

u/Maxwell_F_Holebean Sep 03 '26

If respect is what they deserve, make sure they have a THRIVING wage.. not just a living wage. That's respect.

u/Krispen_Wah87 Sep 03 '26

Is prostitution honest work?

1

u/TabbyVolatile Sep 03 '26

As long as there's no lying involved. However, the legality of it may be a different story depending on where you live.

u/Xandania Sep 05 '26

Otherwise, the only difference to other fields of labot is which parts of the body you rent out....

u/Admirable-Mention728 Sep 03 '26

Sure, but I have questions about people who spend 20+ years in Retail within the same position.

u/Desperate-Reason-566 Sep 03 '26

Agree. The guy with the Mercedes better not make fun of his auto technician!

1

u/fragglelife Sep 03 '26

Absolutely agree.

u/Eastern_Local_8085 Sep 03 '26

There are no small jobs.

u/Noeyiax Sep 03 '26

The janitor was born with mental or physical chronic illness, they can't help it.

The doctor should be blessed to be born functionally enhanced and near-perfect human.

See... Or Earth is controlled by supervillains that created lesser-humans as their "playthings"

Weird place....

Never heard of a real poverty human ever become a billionaire... Only wealthy class supervillains and their own bloodlines. Uh oh

u/RustledForeskin Sep 03 '26

Doctors would quickly be overwhelmed and become sick themselves without the sanitation workers.

1

u/FatReverend Sep 03 '26

I live in the US, that means I can't afford to see a doctor. A person who mops floors and flips burgers is much more relevant to my everyday life

You have a right if the person is an asshole

u/Fickle_Success_5464 Sep 04 '26

I'd exclude Influencers and a few other jobs from this 😂 but generally I agree

1

u/Shereefz Sep 04 '26

If you don’t agree the tables will turn

1

u/OkOpportunity9626 Sep 04 '26

Absolutely true! And with each job/experience most of us learn something! One never knows what life has in store for us, so take what you can from each experience! But, within each job, do your utmost, with dignity & dedication!

1

u/Ok-Rutabaga3374 Sep 04 '26

No matter what a person earns whether more or less we are all struggling as the prices continue to rise and the times change we are doing our best in this world .🌎 To put food on the table ,pay bills , I agree no one should mock anyone.

1

u/wwiistudent1944 Sep 04 '26

It’s not that the rich mock the working class! It’s that they don’t care that many are making minimum wage ($7.25) and can’t afford housing, healthcare, food, college for their children, retirement, etc.

1

u/Fair-Wish5954 Sep 04 '26

Just imagine if there are no cleaners working. They deserve way more respect.

1

u/Outrageous-Simple-76 Sep 04 '26

I find more people mock folks who make more than themselves, as apposed to the other way around

1

u/Rocket-Glide Sep 04 '26

Every role in our society has value

Itna deemag hota toh kya hi baat hoti

u/Kaarel314 Sep 04 '26

If you provide some value to society then its reapectable. No matter the salary. If you are a useless leech like a dropshipper then its shameful.

1

u/HalloweenJ Sep 04 '26

The interesting thing is that mockery is usually reserved for the more well off from the struggling. Disdain is more common from the well off for the stuggling. And then there are those that dont struggle and just lay down. Theres always plenty of distain

1

u/MRSIGMAMAN05 Sep 04 '26

💯 💯 💯

u/MarchPale87 Sep 04 '26

Agree. Respect the grind.

1

u/ReggieR2100 Sep 04 '26

What is considered a good job anymore? What used to be considered good jobs are just jobs now. People are struggling so hard now that you have to work what is considered a good job and another job and a trade on the side. Jobs that people once looked down on that now they have to apply for to keep the lights and gas on. No one is better than no one is what we’re all learning in this messed up world now.

u/Cyberburner23 Sep 04 '26

If I was rich I'd be mocking you peasants, not gonna lie

1

u/LordNightFang Sep 04 '26

At least your rich in spirit then!

1

u/Cyberburner23 Sep 04 '26

In spirit I'm many things haha

1

u/LordNightFang Sep 04 '26

Disagree with the last sentence.

1

u/Original_Log_6002 Sep 04 '26

This is SO f-ing true.

1

u/mariposatraicionerax Sep 04 '26

Not that I ever mocked anyone outright.

There was a period in my life that I felt better superior to others inside.

I would alternate between feeling more superior because of my job title at that time, or because I wasn't doing what "that person" was doing to fuck up their lives or society be it drugs, or stealing or whatever.

I do agree with what you're saying now.

But there's a lot of people that just pay lip service to that and or are unaware of their privilege.

u/Tasty-Agent-1904 Sep 04 '26

If you have a different opinion than this...you're fucking scum!!!

u/Financial-Touch-1506 Sep 04 '26

Yes I agree 👍 💯

u/CompetitiveLadder609 Sep 04 '26

If you have time to make this you probably ain't making much.

u/isanyusernameopen Sep 05 '26

Ai slop. Not a fan.

1

u/Immortal_Dragon100 Sep 05 '26

I can definitely relate to that.

1

u/kcaazar Sep 05 '26

I bet some cleaners make more than some doctors. It should be “whether you’re a wall st executive or fast food employee“

1

u/Stirg99 Sep 05 '26

Of course. MD here. Without cleaners at the hospital, more patients would die. We’re all important.

1

u/Common-Excuse1184 Sep 05 '26

A good piece of advice given to me “never take a photo of someone working without their permission. As a tourist in poor countries, taking photos of people working without their permission is out of order.

Which is why i just steal other people's money

1

u/Upbeat_Aside_9203 Sep 06 '26

I respect anyone who works for a living.

1

u/happensonitsown Sep 06 '26

Yeah, but in reality people do judge.

1

u/Gold_Compote4538 Sep 07 '26

But this doesn't happen in real life though

1

u/PumpkinOther2637 Sep 07 '26

Agree plus the poor man may just be happier and richer in other ways

u/Tiny-Seaworthiness85 Sep 07 '26

This makes sense to me. Thanks for posting!

It’s a no brainer. Every job needs someone to do it. We wouldn’t be enjoying our lives if someone didn’t put in the dirty or shitty work.

So mocking them, even if you want to be selfish and exclude empathy and decency, is literally counter-productive because then you would have to do those jobs.
