Good morning!

I've been thinking a lot about my job, it's not very meaningful to me, worse than that, I think it makes the world a worse place, but I've looked for other jobs and I'm unsure of those too, are there software dev jobs that make the world a better place?

browsing with NoScript really is something else. in awe at the number of sites that have literally NOTHING to show you unless you turn on JavaScript, not even a warning that "this website only works with JavaScript"

like they claim to care about stuff like satisfying customers, keeping wait times low, having orders ready far enough in advance that things run smoothly, etc., but upper management shows over and over that what they care about more than all of that is not spending a single cent more on "labor costs" than they absolutely positively have to. so we deal with not enough hours allocated to the department, not enough people IN the department to have the entire day thoroughly staffed, and end up having to pull people from other departments, making THEIR department run worse, just to keep things from completely collapsing. when all of this could literally just be prevented by letting us have enough labor to run our shit

my job is weird because I actually kinda find working in the grocery industry somewhat meaningful and fulfilling, because the main thing we do is provide for people the food and other household things that make life possible, and especially working with online curbside ordering, which I think is a neat and useful service. I'd even say that I like my job, because I enjoy helping people, I'm just constantly frustrated at the fuckin corporation that RUNS everything doing shit that makes it harder to actually DO that job effectively and efficiently

me, strapped to the outer edge of the wheel of empire as it spins faster and faster; the hinges squeal and the axis wobbles violently: if i keep this job i’ll be able to own a house
