Friend who's job no one understands

they’re just like “get up early, skincare and work out” 🤓 like that makes you rich 🤦‍♂️

@@fishfrogs8231are they Patrick Bateman lol

Then try to get you to sign up for their premium course and get rich like them. When they make all their money from the courses they sell.

@@Icetemplar well what if the reason there are so many is because, the original guy taught people how to sell courses and then they sell courses and teach more people to sell courses, GUYS, we have to find the course source!!!!

For real. Their “morning” routine lasts a full day’s worth of time yet supposedly they do it by noon

about what?

the backbone of society

Back in my day there were only five jobs, doctor, teacher, policeman, astronaut and firefighter, that's it. I don't get kids these days with all of their fancy jobs.

It's the person who talks to the public, on behalf of the company. And who talks to the company, on behalf of the public.

My job title is "Specialist". Literally could not be more meaningless

The vast majority of my job is this. I can spend 5 of my 7-8 hours a day doing jack shit that actually means anything. The job could EASILY be 4 hours a day and work-from-home and it'd be more productive that way lol

I worked briefly for a fortune 10 company in their ethics and compliance office. I worked maximum two hours a day, on average it was roughly 30 minutes a day, processing and auditing HR claims. I made triple what I’ve made at any other job, and that was as a temp. It flat out disgusted me. The corporate world is a joke. It’s a bunch of rich and connected douchebags doing next to nothing and getting paid tons of money to do it. The perks were insane. If we had to travel somewhere, which was maybe twice a year, we flew on a private jet. We ate at the in house canteen where everything was hand made by a chef and was sold to us at cost. One day I ate pork tenderloin, a croque monsieur, chicken Kiev, and ratatouille for lunch. I paid 7 dollars. I met and spoke with the ceo like three times. It opened my eyes to how bullshit it all is. The workers on the ground were doing 12 hour shifts 4 days a week, working themselves to death for peanuts. I know. I had to fire them for getting injured. They came up with other reasons, but that was why. I used to be a milquetoast liberal who believed in hard work and democracy. Ever since I worked there in a corporate position, I’ve become a bitter leftist.

Boss - "We have a meeting at 12" Me - "Oh, ok. Whats the meeting about?" Boss- "More info about what we went over in last weeks meeting" 🤣

Compliance totally needs to exist. Its like, one of the most important departments. Most compliance departments could probably be smaller, but they absolutely generate value by virtue of not having you fined into bankruptcy for not following regulations.

Paperwork and emails to fulfil regulations and cover butts. That's probably 50% of it at least.

Damn i miss conan

This is a mega underrated comment

My brother in Christ, this is the comment I came here to see. Have a great day

Jordan's still dirty that Ralph Macchio told him Karate Kid wasn't filmed in Japan

I'm 36 and I'm still faking it 70% of the time.

not "fake it till you make it", it is "fake it until you retire". No one has any clue

ehhh it depends. more like the top 20 percent know what they are doing. the bottom 20 percent don't care or know. the middle 60 know but hate their existence and don't care. depending on the field almost everyone knows at least and is in that top 80 percent. A good test is whether or not the job is essential though.

As a 38yr old, I can confirm, you are still growing up. So. am. i.

@@Eterna7Forms you seem to be looking at this strictly from a career perspective. I can assure you that most of us don't know what we're doing even in our personal lives. In fact, if we have a career, we probably understand more about that, because at least for careers, we have formal training. No one fucking trained us on the rest of adulthood. We're all just winging it and some of us just got lucky. Lol.

Its honestly strange to me that we live in a market and a world where no one actually don't understand what is going on. I really don't like it!

@@alchemicalalek7535 It is ultra-compartmentalisation of jobs, degrees, sciences, governments. People are only permitted to do the absolute tiniest amount of contribution to the overall company. Fresh new ideas are not welcomed. Just do what you're told, and get paid. Most people in universities these days have no practical life skills, and no management skills. Then they learn about a very specific field and do a very specific job. Thinking outside the box and deeper understanding are entirely discouraged. It's really sad, and it wasn't this way when I was a kid.

But what did you do? What is one instance of a task you performed one time

@@3van660 Installed a bridge device that allowed an IBM mainframe system to 'talk' with the engineering mainframe. Used CASE software to study and document a Westinghouse branch's work, then streamlined the company's workforce and practices. Then used that study to write an RFP and chose a new system (mainframe, software), and implemented it then coordinated what customized programming was needed. Etc.

That job is so insanely valuable. You'd think you could solve it with an org chart but, not a chance.

@@hemmoau Oh yeah? What do YOU do?

Nah consultant is very well defined: they make PowerPoints to justify why they should be paid and confirm whatever the customer wants to do whether it's right or not

@@alexsmallwood9895 im technically a consultant and what i really do i lift boxes all day

​@@alexsmallwood9895 Not true, at least not in my country. My job title is technically "e-learning consultant" and what I do is a mixture of second level support, sales and project management. Wheras my boyfriend's job is also called "consultant" but as an "it-security consultant" he's essentially commissioned to hack companys and record the findings. The overlap is managing stuff around and talking to the client, which I guess is one of the core features of being a consultant. The bad rep for consultants is for those who do nothing more than that and add no real value. But there are loaaads of different kinds of consultants and not *all* of them are useless.

As an ex consultant - job is to research shit, put together a pretty slide deck and present it, typically in the same industry/sector. Eventually after you research a topic/industry enough, talk enough with your clients for industry info and connections and stay up to date with news and developments in your industry, you become a subject matter expert on it, and then you keep making pretty slide decks and present them. Clients get you in for one of two reasons - as insurance to prove the decision they’re making isn’t stupid because a third party says it’s ok, or they don’t have a team internally they can get to do the work so they’d rather pay a consultant a one off fee to do the work instead of hiring a full time employee/team to do it and have to continuously pay them. Pretty much just become a slide monkey until you get poached to work in the industry you become an expert in, until you make partner at a consulting firm or until you go freelance as a contractor.

@@mittenss6986as someone who is more junior in consulting this was beautifully explained. I really struggle to explain what I do especially as it can vary from project to project

Oh thank goodness someone else actually said something! I did pass on that it was giving me an eye twitch.

I had to scroll far too long to find this

You're close. Go one level down and you realize that equal opportunity housing regulations created a perverse incentive in the market. One level below that is the understanding that rising house prices are a racket setup by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy combined with the security provided by the FDIC. 70 years ago, you could save for six months and have a down payment on a house.

Sorry I should have clarified - Private Wealth & Portfolio Management

Not to mention they have no clue about the insulation value, what type of window, Sheetrock vs plaster and lathe, type of hardwood flooring etc. they just bumble around going “lotta potential with hardwood floors”

Exactly, I work as a construction project manager in a fairly big company which also has real estate brokerage department. Those guys make 10x more than us but man, they have absolutely no clue what they sell. They can say all the beautiful things to clients tho... and then slow us down by endless questions on basic construction related topics.
