A Reddit thread opened a discussion about professions perceived as receiving too much respect for their actual contributions. With over 3,000 replies, users highlighted various roles, including white collar workers, corporate managers, online college instructors, influencers, and chiropractors. Comments shared experiences illustrating that higher salaries often correlate with less tangible value added, while some questioned the ethics and practices of certain fields. The conversation reflects a growing frustration with societal perceptions of work and its inherent value, encouraging a broader dialogue on professional respect.
I've been a white collar worker for 20 years. The more you get paid, the less value you add. It's just 35 hours of meetings in a 40 hour work week, and all you do is waste time talking about various options without actually choosing one of them.
The corporate people who visit their frontline locations and criticize those workers. There's so much hype and fanfare around their arrival, with all the little managers tripping over each other to impress them.
I work at a college, and the IT professors have the cushiest jobs ever. The students buy a code that opens up the online program, and all the classwork and tests are preloaded and automatically graded.
Influencers. There really are people out there who see large followings and think 'that person would never lie' or 'that person can't get facts wrong. They have one million followers. They're telling the truth.'
