honestly what frustrates me about coworker M is that she works at literally one third my speed, while doing things in the most inefficient and ineffective ways, while standing around in view of clients and bosses talking on her phone when I know she can work while taking on her bluetooth, daily just stands around while others work,

and she makes 90-95% of what I make.

and while I do think people should be able to support themselves easily, and that this job is just another labor exploiting job,

it really just highlights how little my efforts are valued and appreciated

by the bosses

like, on am emotional level, they like me and love that I'm a good worker, and recognize the difference K(favorite coworker) and I make,

that does not translate to higher wages

so it's like, well clearly, I could be slacking off relative to my own current and past efforts,

but it's also a thing ingrained in me that if someone is doing something and you can help, you do

completely aside from the payment/job aspect

so it's like, not gonna happen that I'll start just standing around until some one tells me directly what to do

and I honestly would rather be moving and thinking rather than standing around in standby mode,

but I'm also in a capitalist society, and so it feels unfair that we're paid almost the same when K and I are so much more effective

and also that wouldn't feel like a problem if we have universal health care, affordable housing, etc etc

yeah,,,,,,,,, yeah

yeah

that's where I am with many of my coworkers, too
