Mildly Infuriating

The assertion that your friend is a harder worker might not ge true. I have had to work many holidays in retail because my job said I had to not because Im a harder worker.

Can't relate. As someone with many right wing friends, this isn't a trend among them

People who deliberately ignore struggles that others outside their immediate community experience, especially ones that they cause themselves, don't deserve to be listened to

Its the moisture

Having a work ethic is one thing. But it isn’t inherently satisfying to the ego unless you feel yours is better than others’, and lord it over them. Some people just can’t maintain their motivation without this.

This guy could learn a lot from women. The world is full of women who bust their ASS and never complain or brag or get a single second of recognition.

It is good to be moist, even better than being flaky

"if your position is that you CHOSE a job that makes you work on MLK Day, that makes you a dumber worker".

This entire thread is bubble people threatened by peeking outside their bubble.

It’s just easier to hate.

People choose easy over ‘better’ as a rule.

…and, it’s just easier to hate and be angry than to work through the prejudices, and inner demons you may carry with you.

Inner work is much, MUCH harder to do. I have done some serious physical labour in my life, so I know what I’m comparing here (including the day in/day out of that life).

Did that actually happen?

Very moist. Very toxic. Like a 20 year old mattress, saturated in bacon grease and peppered with dip-spit.

Guy's a dumbass because he's taking it on the chin from his boss, acting like it's fine, and then attacking everybody except the assholes. What a little bitch.

you didn't ask him if he thinks for one fucking second that any of the shitheel CEO/executive suite trump fluffers he's generating revenue for are working today?

They've been built up to get angry about specific topics in a way that bypasses critical thought.

I can't find it, but there was a great meme of a tombstone that said, "worked really really hard". I'd also add that I acknowledge"blue collar" work being tough and important too. That's it.

Let him realize that everyone's doing their best.

Did he work on xmass and thanksgiving and 4th of july and memorial day and labor day or was in an ivory tower on those days and not a hard worker. does he take any days off. I mean if hes not working and other people are at any time then they are the hard workers. Im ok with not being a hard worker though. Im more of a work smarter type person but his type is good to.

Not sure about moist ;p haha, but he doesn't sound like a friend. At the very least, not one I for one, would consider so.

Even if you were better off than him, not that it sounds like it or I am inferring it, he shouldn't have to be an outright prick.

Playing the devils advocate though, reading your conversations without the right tone, I am wondering if he might have thought you were bragging about the day off.
