Tort lawyers
Okay, let's admit some lawyers have a purpose. If you're falsely accused of a crime, you want a good one on your side. However, I think we can all admit that tort lawyers, those who engage in civil suits, have zero net benefit to society. You know the ones, the ambulance chasers, copyright and patent trolls, the corporate suits that try to silence criticism. There's a special place in hell for this bunch.
Telemarketers
Someone must be buying something from them. Otherwise it wouldn't be economically viable for them. Either way they're annoying as hell. Always some Indian guy who wants to clean my ducts. We can land robots on Mars but the phone company still hasn't figured out how to blacklist them. Of course then there's the worst telemarketer of all: the junk faxer. Using your paper and toner for their advertising. We used to have a big stack of these on the machine every morning at the store.
HR representatives & HR Gurus
I hate the word "human resources" because it really does make you feel no different than a steel ingot or bundle of paper. These folks go out of their way to make sure you're resume never gets looked at by anyone, ever. Then when you do get the job they punish you by sending you to conferences dreamed up by some HR guru. No, I would not like to learn how my skill comfort zone affects my productivity chi.
Civil Servants
There was a thing in the paper yesterday about how public sector workers make on average 12% more than those in the private sector. The list making over $100k also ballooned this year. Their response? Well, $100k is not really that much money and the bar is too low. Really? When the average wage for all Canadians is only $48,000? Yet it's never enough? You really don't understand how undeserving they are until you have to work with government employees on a daily basis. Lazy, confused, unaccountable, and useless. Stereotype is 100% true. I'll call them to ask about a crash on the highway. "What crash?" You know the ones you're guys were just talking about on the radio. "I don't see anything". It's right there, I just want you to zoom in a bit. "Oh, right". You're tax dollars "hard" at work. If they laid off half the buggers, there'd still be too many sucking at the teat.
MBAs in charge of creative projects
That big blockbuster movie or video game suck donkey balls? Probably because it was made in a boardroom with suits calling the shots. They're more worried about the bottom line and making it appeal to as many demographics as possible. The result? It flops, bad. Maybe Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom were right because this seems to be the method of today. Then again sometimes it's best to trust in the talents and judgement of the real creative folks.
