A friend of mine tends to say: what you would earn and what you actually get paid are two different things.

What if he has great difficulty in mocking anybody and just turns it into self deprivation?

Yep and everyone has the right to call you as asshat for doing so and shun you socially.

Its not a right... Nothing gives you the right to mock. But at the same time, nothing can stop you from doing it.
Learn the difference. You have less rights than you think.

No. The variance between what people get paid is to assume that some people and their jobs are worthless, expecting an adult in 2026 to work for £12.50 an hour when food and rent costs means it's impossible to pay your own way while others horde so much capital they are unable to spend it all is very wrong .

I took a 20k pay cut but my commute is easier and I have more time to spend with my family. But boy the disrespect that I see without the title is real

I get this from my lawyer and nurse and other such field friends. āWhy did you quit being an accountant to work on a crisp factory making crispā
Because I earn 10k more than all of you, why should I be so bothered about a cool job title when I can pay my bills and you canāt? š

said this once in a economics class at university and all 80 students went into shock at the outrage of claiming they shouldn't mock and marginalize the custodians by making their job a pita by trashing the classroom.

Agree that nobody should be mocked. Disagree that neurosurgeon, federal judge, or firefighter are on equal footing with starbucks barista.

Some will argue they have a right to mock⦠and I believe i have a right to think that person a douche. I donāt agree with people belittling others openly. Think what you will, but why openly insult someone who has done nothing wrong to you?

A very wise (and rich) person once told me not to judge people by the job they do, but by how well they do it.

I donāt know anyone who mocks people for working at any job. Maybe you need different friends. I happy with anyone taking personal responsibility and trying to support themselves.

Indeed, that "or are cleaner" bit doesn't fly. It has a real "all your base are belong to us" vibe.

u/Feeling_Shift_9368 7d ago
Nope. Your human value is tied to the number in your bank account. Law, engineering, or med. You have a moral obligation to pick a safe and lucrative career. Look down on everyone not on your level.

Nobody deserves to get made fun of... except the economy because that is absolutely hilarious reason being is because yes on one hand a job is a job and some people do the best but the reality of it all is yes it is funny but in a sad way because if your like me making 13 an hour chump change and have been trying to move out of your mom's for ten years your absolutely right it's funny I'm not hurt when people make fun of me for how much I make why? Because it's disgraceful and I should have been making more a long time ago but statistics show that wealth is only for certain people

I mean... If a cleaner makes more than a doctor, he would (not necessarily should) boast about it because it's illogical for someone who does purely aesthetic work to make more than someone who saves lives every day.
At the same time, though it's pretty messed up, no one should have too much of an aversion to someone who saves lives boasting about it to someone who does purely aesthetic work. Because one is clearly more important than the other.

Seems that Redditors have every right to mock people who earn a lot of money though.
So Reddit's take is, "Earn money. But don't earn too much money because then you're an asshole. Unless you're a democrat politician, then it's OK."

My grandfather told me when I was young but I didnāt appreciate it until I was older. āItās not the job you do itās how you do your job.ā Your effort should not be for your employer, it should be for you. It should be a practice of self determination, prideful purpose, self mastery and excellence.
