Realtors.

I don't know of a job more pointless. And I worked (reception) at a realty office and still didn't see the value.

West bank

Middle manager.
At least in my current job. There are nice AND useful ones out there, but in my dept., there's positively neither.

I oppose the occupation of gaza by Israel !

But fr, anything position that gives one power and a feeling of superiority : magistrate, judge, police officer, military, ...

Plenty, lobbyists, health insurance industry, and advertisers would be a few off top of my head.

Wall Street. Shorts, bulls, bears, options, it is all euphemisms for gambling and everyone else suffers for it.

corporate lawyer and politician. sleaziest of them all

Being rich

Naturopaths.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's folks doing sane, evidence-based care in this area. But I've seen so much bullshit from practitioners, ranging from the grossly unethical to the blatantly dangerous, that I find them hard to trust about anything as a group.

Besides, we already have health professionals that can provide good, evidence-based care (issues like ego v. evidence/new findings to improve care notwithstanding - but there's crappy people in all fields) - we call them doctors and nurse practitioners. And we need more of those.

I'm not sure I do, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is consumer psychologists. I once read an argument that they could be improving people's mental health, instead they are working on manipulating people into buying more.

Telemarketers

Maybe not unique in my opposition…but…

CEOs. (Especially of large companies)

They rarely know what they’re doing, are guessing 90% of the time, bandwagon anything they think will make them more money or notoriety, and get paid exorbitant amounts of money doing nearly nothing to actually earn it.

Private equity/venture capitalists - they acquire unique brands and then extract all the value and enshitify them into the ground

Any sanitation worker, sewage diver, drain block remover, in most of the third-world countries.

We need city drainages to be repaired, cleaned, maintained, and managed with draconian safety, extremely well-compensated, hazardpay up the wazoo workers comp and complete-healthcare all covered for life. So many workers are just abused for the lifeline work that keep a city's arteries from getting clogged and flowing smoothly.

I saw how Korean drain-workers do it with high-pressure water jets and incredible efficiency and knowhow talent of their vital job. I wish we didnt have the corruption that prevents this type of training, trained worker, worker pride in the essential labour that they do.

Same goes for recycling and reducing waste. We humans don't do nearly enough and the Top-20 major corporations that cause 80% of worldwide pollutants go unchecked and unpunished.

Only about 60-70% of them.

Ctrl + F Landlord

Yall disappoint me.

Literally anyone who works in health insurance.

Currently work in biotech, and have worked in medtech; I have had to integrate systems with insurers (payors is the industry term). I know exactly how fucked it is on a statistical level.
