What is the most "Thankless" job?
(lemmy.ml)
IT
Anything in retail.
Being an undercover loss prevention officer.
I have never thanked one of those snitches.
Jobhunting
Most public service workers who take their job seriously. In my country, those include military personnel, teachers, actually competent politicians
Dishwasher
Landlord
it's not a job
Why isn't it?
I’d say being a property owner isn’t a job, which may be more what they’re thinking.
But property manager is definitely a job, though I think in many cases people equate property manager with landlord, because there are those that are both.

Sitting on his ass or going golfing while his tenants work their ass to give 70% or their salary to the landlord, only for the MF to raise the rent a 50% without warning because his mistress wants to go on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean, doesn't sound like a job.
So I guess I’m a landlord. We have a house that we rent. Bought it in 2007 using this cool thing called a sub prime mortgage. So we were sorta forced to hold on to the house and rent it.
Fast forward 15 years and I’m now renting the house I live in from a landlord. It’s made me realize that we’re good landlords. My dishwasher has been broken for two months collecting mold while its replacement has sat in my living room waiting to be installed.
Our own tenants have mostly been cool but I wish the guy we cut a break with (few months for free when he lost his job during covid) hadn’t grown weed in the garage and damaged some floors.
Other than that one guy, I don’t expect anybody to thank me.

Software engineers/developers. They come up with software that everyone uses daily. But they work in shitty conditions, get kinda low pay, and because they're not as visible as writers and actors, are not able to hold a strike for kickbacks when their software is used or is still in use.
They basically built the modern world, but are exploited so that the ones who own the company get rich off their backs.
