I don’t need to know exact companies, no need to unnecessarily expose yourself or anything, but as we are a workers rights instance of Lemmy, I safely assume we are all proletarians. I for example work at a unionized grocery and I work outside. I have many complaints but I try my best to work as little as possible while getting my paycheck. Customers are usually fine but occasionally just dumb af to the point where it’s annoying(I have millions of stories) managers are very kind, only ones who were dicks left(unfortunately they probably got promoted if I remember correctly) and my coworkers are eh. Some are great to confide in and joke with, while others are rude or annoying, some are very nice but have garbage politics (libertarians who don’t understand their benefits from being in a union/don’t care enough about the differences to advocate for it). I plan on becoming a firefighter, not only for the pay, job security and union benefits, but it’s also an essential job that doesn’t exist just to create capital (no judgement to those who work in corporate environments, I’ve never done it and can’t judge it). I like my job overall but Goddamn the weather. Edit: Kinda cool to see so many people who are in tech.

    My family own a farm land that we work on. It’s not that big of income but ok to fulfill our basic needs and some times little bit more. I am learning programing mainly webdev and looking for work. I hope I would be able to earn more comfortably (compared to hard farm labour) once/if I start getting clients but that’s the hard part. I keep practicing and developing new skills in by working on hobby projects as a showcase for clients/employer’s one day.

      Interesting background, I can safely say we don’t have many agricultural workers and the work that you are educating yourself in is also pretty interesting, all the best to you comrade
