    Along with all the others that have been mentioned here my personal hate is financiers and bankers and most people that work in finance.

      I used to be an insurance adjuster for a car insurance company. Worst job in the world. I would meet the insured and they are going through a terrible time. Then I would meet with the auto shop and they want to make as much money as possible. Then I would need to negotiate to get a reasonable number. Then I find out instead of repairing the dents and dings they just put Bondo on the whole thing. So the insured gets a piece of crap vehicle back and the auto shop and insurance company makes an incredible amount of money.

      I quit after three weeks.

      was looking through the list because common ones like lawyer and politician have bad folks but many good folks actually trying to improve things. Seems like its hard to be a success long term wtihout being one. This though. Man I would likely put at the top. If someone is successful in this field they are aweful.

    People who’s roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.

    However, there’s a class of people that do nothing. They’re often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there’s often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don’t want to say it’s everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It’s also not limited to them.

      I heard someone call these kinda of people “fence turtles”. Nobody knows how they got up there, they don’t do anything useful, and they’re not likely to come down anytime soon

      I feel like those are the same people blocking every beneficial change for the company to maintain the status quo (and perhaps their position).

    Anyone who makes more than 10 million a year or more is definitely not a good person and not to be trusted.

    The cut off number could probably be lower but I feel confident in saying 10 million. So I’m going with that.

    You can’t make that much without “stealing” it from many others. Exploitation.

    (I’m not talking about a company that makes 10 million, I’m referring to an individual that does. There are some exceptions for celebrities and athletes).

      Fuck it, I’ll cut it at 1mil. Doesn’t matter who, doesn’t matter why. Even if you dug up 1mil in gold from your own property by hand, you’re a cunt for letting everyone else struggle if you sit on it and don’t so something.

      No.

      Why? Why do they deserve such huge salaries? Is the work they do of that much more value than, say, a beekeeper barely scrapimg by?

        Well they don’t earn that money from exploiting others but from being exploited.

        Especially athletes. They destroy their bodies and sometimes their minds too.

        As for Celebrities like actors and musicians/singers. I think there is a fair bit of exploitation of them too. Especially young women and young men.

        If a company wants to pay an actor 5 million to be in a movie, they are paying for the talent, the risk to the actor, and the advertising that comes with that actors name.

        That honestly seems fair. I just wish the amount that producers spend on male actors wasn’t so egregiously higher than female actors.

        At least these people did something real to earn that money. Showed up to sets. Long days in rough conditions. Or went on concert tours. Traveled and lived in hotels and trailers for months.

        They didn’t make it from stealing from others.

          None of which qualifies as harder work than most jobs or explains how they earn many times the average person’s yearly salary for a fraction of the work.

          Does a sportsball player destroy their body any more than a tradesman? How does throwing a ball equate to mining coal?

          Actors aren’t being exploited any more than the average worker. Compared to, say, a local news reporter that is on television 5 days a week.

            Well I’m not saying the physical work is different than other labor jobs. Or even the mental.

            Just saying it IS actual honest work.

            Do I think athletes should be paid 5 million for a season. ?

            No. But someone thinks they do.

            The reason I don’t like billionaires is because of exploitation.

            They are bad people causing harm.

            I don’t think that’s true about athletes and celebrities.

            I don’t like such extreme income inequality either. But I’m not going to lump athletes and celebrities in with unethical exploitive sociopaths just because they are paid high amounts.

            Exploitation of others is the factor here. Not anything else.

              Ok, I see where you’re coming from and can appreciate that. My issue is with the pay inequality and I don’t really blame them for that.
