How is “Business and Financial” not the #1 category? I work in finance and it’s so painfully obvious that for every employee that actually does real work on a day-to-day basis there’s at least 10 that don’t do anything at all. Not even, “this work is not meaningful.” I mean, they literally don’t do anything; they keep chairs warm and write emails explaining why everything isn’t their problem or they stare at every free slot in their calendar every Monday and find ways to micro manage the people that work under them (getting in the way of those people actually doing real work).
I see memes about construction crews where one guy is digging a ditch and there’s three other guys hanging back doing nothing and I can’t help but think, “that’s actually a pretty good ratio!”
Anyone who thinks “big government” is inefficient obviously never worked for a big bank. The regulators assigned to banks are far more on top of things and turn in vastly more real work than 90% of bank employees. In fact, nearly everything in banking and finance is fully automated (when it comes to moving money around, calculating interest, figuring out if someone can get a loan, etc) that at every quarterly shareholder meeting the only ideas that are ever shared in regards to “making more money” are about cutting costs by finding ways to “run leaner” (aka laying more people off).
I also work in Finance and it is the most frustrating shit. If these people who don’t do anything weren’t actively meddling in the work of people who do, things would be better off.
Guess I’ll go into finance and scratch my balls for 40 hours a week. Wont get in your guys’ way, make bank and I’ll find ways to fill the time ;) Maybe finally get a steam deck?
