Time to find employment that doesn't involve being a soul-sucking leech on society.

[–] jackoneill@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? If you work for insurance you are the problem

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah because a comrade starving is really gonna show those capitalist.

If you can’t get a job that actually helps society then you can get the fuck out of it

Found the guy who's never not had options

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found the guy who never made a meaningful sacrifice for what he believed in ever

[–] 10EXP@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s one thing to ask someone to make a sacrifice for a cause, it’s another to tell someone to starve themselves, and potentially their family, to death if they are completely unable to get a job which doesn’t require them to work for someone who is a leech on society. At least attempt to understand the context.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is not meant to be dismissive but this maybe the best paying job for ops area/experience. They may not have the means to get a better job. While I understand the need to actually contribute to society. Starving to achieve that isn't going to help anyone.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You're describing an industry that exists to employ people desperate enough to abuse other people like it's a good thing.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I never described the industry in anyway. But if that's what you read, ok.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Damn bro you mean people need money to survive???

You mean because money reigns above all people who have none will take jobs they normally wouldn't because they're fucking starving???

Almost like we should take care of the poor so they won't have to take these parasitic jobs (which are created by parasitic people at the top not the bottom) and can survive???

Take your "altruistic" bullshit somewhere where people can survive comfortably on the bare minimum.

And since those places barely exist outside of small areas I would say please hold your breath. That way at least a piece of shit dies instead of someone who performed the crime of being born poor

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd starve before harming others like that, and on more than one occasion in life I've opted the course that was more damaging to myself because of that reason. Pity you're too selfish to say the same. I'm going to go ahead and block you though because you've shown me clearly that I don't want to read anything you have to say, so thanks for that at least. Good luck with figuring out how not to be human garbage.

Cheers loser. Hope you enjoy your little bubble!

Can't wait till it's popped and you're left scrambling for food scraps.

[–] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most jobs do nothing to actually help society. Our society is not designed towards the benefit of the many but towards the generation of capital. Those sometimes overlap, but usually they don't.

Considering this article talks about automed denial without a case review by doctors, most definitely.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Thank you for posting this. This tactic isn't new. It's been a common practice for decades. Bury the customer under paperwork and rejections hoping they give up.

[–] Thcgrasscity@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

Seems like a home made slice of reality, maybe even a selfie from the moment they thought to make a meme.

[–] jasondj@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

I used to work insurance claims support for a major national pharmacy chain.

I’ve gotten this call, several times.

America was built on a pile of dead children.

[–] AnonymousBaba@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

and old people , man and women

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

And since America hates to break with tradition, we go on to relive the experience in poor countries that can't fight back, and then we cry about how the troops were the real victims.

Hey, do the world a favour my dude: punch your boss right in the kisser

Have you tried assaulting your boss and restarting your superhero career?

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Have you tried assaulting your boss and restarting your superhero career?

Let's be honest here: Going by traditional superhero storytelling, the hero assaults his boss NOT because he's sick and tired of telling people they're going to suffer and die (or their loved ones), it'll be because his boss yells at him or turns him down for a promotion. No traditional hero throws away a vicious career for the sake of others, they do it because they were personally affected.

Not saying there aren't stories that break this mould (why is this registering as a spelling error?), but traditionally this is how the story goes. Basically it's the idea of 'no point helping others until I don't get what I want'.

I really hate traditional superhero stories.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Or at least posting their address for everyone? Or posting an insider's guide on how to game the insurance company.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

I think you meant to post this to dank memes
