lilORANG 12/30/21 5:04:44 PM #16:	At my wife's OBGYN, when she was pregnant, we had to meet the whole "team" which was the doctor, an NP, the financial person who ran insurance, and then an "educator" whose job was to hand out pamphlets with basic info about pregnancy. She didn't provide us any info we couldn't have gotten from the pamphlets, and anything we couldn't have gotten from the pamphlets was a question for the doctor or NP. So her job is pointless and I still resent our stupidly high medical bill (even after insurance) went to pay that useless salary. But that's how hospitals operate when they need to make a profit. --- #FeelTheBern http://i.imgur.com/q5z4CUu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6B9oFXh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sy42Dlf.jpg <cite>lilORANG posted [p:961337363] in What are b...

legendarylemur 12/30/21 7:31:25 PM #25:	There are jobs that pay a bullshit amount for little effort but lmao saying athletes are one of them. Any jobs where there are a ton of competition, maintenance, insane hours, and early retirement aren't exactly bullshit. There are so many strings attached, and you probably don't even get to keep all that money after you're incapable of staying an athlete. It's pretty depressing and not even guaranteed for many people who aren't literally the best in the world to make it a living. Bullshit jobs are just menial work that could be replaced and don't amount to anything. It's just a waste of life, but it exists solely to say that job exists and that person exists that does something. Also yes, like >50% of project managers I've seen are extremely underqualified and frankly not very smart. PMs are glorified backwards secretaries but most of them can't even realize this simple fact and mismanage everything. --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgur.com/krtFHol.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:961340748] in What are b...
