Oh noes, now they're transing the chickens!

They’ve never been hungry and it shows

Source: my first job was as a field laborer when I was 8 yrs old, because we needed the money and boss didn't like migrant crews. I got paid fairly, IIRC, but had to put in the same hours and workload as the adults. 2/10, would not recommend, except that some folks don't have the luxury of choice 🤷

My guess? Working-class whites who need a job and are like "how hard could it really be" will try to fill the gaps, but the big bosses are used to paying migrant crews under the table for less $. So, probably prison labor, "wellness camp" labor, and others who will accept poverty wages.

Don't project your jealousy just because you have no head game 💅

I was a total dick at the end, and I'm aware enough to admit it. But, like, I'm not the one being paid to deal with the public. Matter of fact, that is why I specifically AVOID working with the public, lol

Calling republikkan offices as an openly lefty person has been interesting. But yeah, when the track record for customer service reps is just 2/5 for having both empathy (or feigning it well enough to count) and professionalism (not interrupting, keeping calm), that's not great 😬

For the record, I probably didn't help matters when I called her a DEI hire & then laughed loudly at her when she got offended at that. Tbf, tho, she was under the impression that DEI was only for black people, when in fact white women are the majority who benefit from DEI programs, so I was correct

Anyway, I am an external processor, and needed to vent about that, so...yeah, that's pretty much it.

I fully admit to being the conversational aggressor not long after that point, tho 😂

oh no, it's the consequences of her own actions, in the form of someone with strong justice/fairness sensitivity, a wide breadth of knowledge, and just enough experience dealing with sea lions online

Near as I can figure, the whole thing went south when I responded to being interrupted (like I said, one sentence in) by interrupting *her* to tell her that she was interrupting *me*. Clutch your pearls all you want, but I was not the conversational aggressor, there.

A) interrupting the public after a single sentence, b) just to read off a script of propaganda talking points, and ultimately c) move on to insulting the person calling when said person fact-checks your propaganda.

Whoever I talked to today, Julie or Judy (or something close) out of the Oil City office, whoo - she is in the wrong field. Anyone in customer service (which I count answering phones and taking messages as - you're dealing with the public) should not start off by

All I know for sure is, I have talked to maybe five people out of Senator Scott Hutchinson's various offices in the last month, and only two of them actually acted like they were really listening, instead of going thru some propaganda checklist rather than, I dunno, doing their jobs?
