This has been a very
“First they came for the Insurance
Then they came for journalists
then they came for salespeople”
kind of feel
Technology doesn’t make more better jobs for people. It just eliminates jobs, and people move on to usually worse jobs. or none at all
The moment someone ponies up and decides to pay my bills, I’ll quit my job and join the rah rah crowd. but until then, I speak for both the innocent office workers, the technicians, service advisors, and the sleazy salespeople, they all gotta fucken eat.
Why does the responsibility fall on someone else for you not to be a (self proclaimed) sleazy salesperson?
Ah yes, Lemmy, where we realize that the working class has it hard and people take whatever job they can get, UNLESS it’s a job you don’t like, in which case they should get fucked and find a different job.
They were making a point. The salespeople probably got those jobs because there was nothing else available that they could reliably do. Your enemy isn’t the salesperson who’s trying to make the best of their situation, it’s the legally mandated dealer network.
If someone wants to tell another person they shouldn’t have the job that they do, then unless they’re either going to pay the living expenses or arrange for them to move somewhere else without taking a huge loss on the home they currentley own, Their complaints are just noise.
There’s things I’d rather do, but I never got the opportunities to realize them without taking massive risk to myself or family. And the job I have, fell into my lap during a time when it was and still is hard to find decent paying work around here close to my home. So at the end of the day, its the lower and middle income people telling other lower and middle income people their jobs shouldnt exist, who can get fucked.
Be the change you want to see in the world; be an honest above board car salesperson. No four squares. No “let me check with the manager”. Upfront and fair pricing. No pricing games. Sell people what they want and not what commission you want to make.
Im not a salesperson, but I do work at one.

I get that
Needed to fix issues. Makes sense.
Starting to lose me
They can get fucked. And not just sleazy car salesmen but all sleazy salespeople.

Just because they’re a salesperson doesn’t mean they have to be sleazy.
I mean yeah, but the unfortunate bit is that they’re heavily incentivized to be sleazy, by the commission system.
Tons of sales jobs out there literally pay minimum wage at most if you don’t sell enough. Idk if it’s the same for car sales.
