Easy to state something like that like everyone of us has a choice, family and pets need food too. Bite down and whine on the internet.

My job would take much longer to replace me. They're slow to hire and make the remaining employees compensate for constant short-staffing.

I work for the state. I won't be replaced any time soon.
TornSoul
So, I should take care of myself so I can keep my unappreciated job as long as possible. Got it.

make sure you enjoy what you do, time goes by much faster :)
Carefuler
I can easy do that! The problem is getting someone to pay me for doing it.
Samoht
Of course they would replace me, shit I do is super important and needs to get done in a timely manner. ☺
OakinBearSkald
I left a career back in October because I was under so much stress that I started hearing voices. 2 months later and some much needed... 1/2
OakinBearSkald
Help, I now make half of what I used to but I have never been happier. Your mental health matters people.

I'm not killing myself for the job, I'm killing myself for the money it pays that allows me to live.
sumelar
As if everything should just stop because 1/7000000000 died. Do what is required of you, instead of killing yourself over it.
OshItW4daP
You don't tell that kind of stuff to suicidal people you might kill someone with your logic there
sumelar
I'm telling it to wannabe anarchists who think they're special snowflakes saying crap like this.
TheShadowsLengthen
In most countries, even the death of the leader would not be catastrophic. There are a great many contingencies in place.
boywiththehappypenis
Yeah. This is why I find it frustrating when ppl get angry when I don't really react to ~ "OMG! XYZ from school/work/TV/etc just died."
TheShadowsLengthen
Well, I mean if they had emotional attachments to them that kind of reaction might be justified...not important to the world, but to them.
ShitSpeckledMuppetFart
Leave work at work, don’t keep yourself up at night worrying over work that is there to be completed tomorrow. That’s what I do.
Carefuler
Would you die quicker with (and with everything you can pay with what it pays you) or without the job?
hexmuch
AI will replace us for the People who will replace us for Minimum wage.. so
Swansatron
If I relax I will not have a job to stress over, so I’m okay with stressing my life away. Better than suicide.
AnykindofTacos
Thats why i went to work today for 4hrs and put down i got 8hrs total. ..shh.
weldr67
I work to live. I do not live to work.
FatChecker
We could find a replacement in 4 days tops
reginaphillange
My job is an in home daycare, I actually love it and have fun and have 3 hours of down time during my work day at nap time. Score!
Ultemus
I agree with this, however, my job is so bad at hiring people we have been undermanned for the past 3 or so years
WafflesOfMassDeliciousness
Yea that’s a standard HR tactic to save money.
TwoGees
And they will continue to be understaffed till the work stops being completed... if shits getting done, why hire more staff?
Cyanide555
No. HR is shyte. Itd be at least a month for the contractor and 6 for a permanent

Killing yourself at a job you hate, to support yourself, is better than freezing to death in a box and eating dinner out of the dumpster.
Kalmah
Since im in the military it seems pretty obvious that they would do that.
whatupcorgibutt
Jokes on you I was laid off
Mojayokok
Ppl think they’re not easily replaceable even though everybody is. You getting fired /quit doesn’t remotely matter to that company.
JohnSmithterms
This is quite simply not true in many companies. It is almost always a pain the ass to hire someone new.
SV97
Why don't you tell that to the company a collegue and I left a year ago that still inquires us? If you're that easily replaceable you're 1/2
Mojayokok
Are you saying that the company suffered a great loss when you left or you just have a few friends that you Chat w/every once n awhile?
SV97
They did suffer a loss; got invited to dinners with management etc.; In the area of electrical engineering it isn't even that good 1/2
SV97
People are scarce; but rather people in general 2/2
Mojayokok
Everybody wants to think they mattered, it’s human nature, but I seriously doubt anybody skipped a beat the day after you left.
SV97
They invited us to company dinners and offered various promotions; plus scholarships right when we left. Yep they definitely don't have 1/2
Mojayokok
1/2 I’m not coming at u, the other comments state the same, everyone is quickly replaceable. I’ve seen ppl in important roles take ...
Mojayokok
2/3 .. employment elsewhere &, while it doubled the work for a few, nobody remotely care. I can’t assume u weren’t remotely missed or
SV97
Problems filling that position 2/2
SV97
Just not good enough 2/2
canyonbeerjoint
It matters if youre a good enployee. Either way its costly to hire someone new. But the companys gotta find a replacement either way.
MySpiritAnimalIsTheUnpopularOpinionPuffin
I want to know what job out there where someone isn't replaceable.

Everyone's replaceable. Some people, the cost of replacing them would be unreasonably high.

I think they would have had a hard time replacing Jerry Seinfeld mid season.

I think what's more relevant is that we're all killing ourselves for jobs that would replace us now for someone willing to take minimum wage
wzzt
that only applies to people without marketable career skills

You'll be lucky to have a job at all within 10 years, Boston Dynamics will be outsourcing almost everything.
Meatwalls
Not if you're in the military. There you get paid about a third of what you should be paid for the work you do. You and everybody else.

Herecomesjohnny
that's actually contrary to most theories (except neoclassicals) about the job market when it comes to jobs above menial labor
Carefuler
Just as we would leave jobs Now for a job that paid better. Is this not commonly understood? How did you think it worked?
nightrodrider
Not really, a lot of ppl I know rejected better pay as they were emotionally attached to their current, ppl, commute, etc.
Carefuler
Then they value those properties. If their friends went to a new company they might too, or they found an even closer positer. They're 1/

free to leave whenever they find something better.

Though I have to admit, I don't know how you get emotionally attached to a commute.
CardboardMecha
Five minute walk versus an hour of driving, maybe?
MrPredator
With the advance of robotics and automation, it'll be more like something they can replace us with that'll do 2x the work for no pay.
grizeld1337
Physically manifested robots/automatons for factory work is an example of that, but not so much in AI:s such as IBM Watson.
bogus1983
I wonder how the cost of operation and maintenance compares to a human's salary. Might be less but it's still not free.
HairyPethoer
boxes, which is time consuming, not fail proof and imo more expensive than a 1 time purchase of a machine. But thats the way they want it2/2
DanFendi
Robots also don't sue the company when they get injured, FWIW.
bogus1983
No, but they also don't fix themselves or manifest replacement materials when they break. There is _a cost_ associated with using them.
HairyPethoer
most businesses have relatively little to invest. and people are easier to replace. For example we have to manually apply stickers to 1/?
WellBehavedZombie
It's true, right now there is a steep gap for investment, but that will only last so long as tech advances and perks are know.
WellBehavedZombie
As an example, you can work the technology 24/7 it requires no breaks and only minimal maintenance/upkeep.
WellBehavedZombie
There is no training, and always operate at max efficiency. So basically if the cost comes close to 3x the cost of a person...
Cheesecakecrush
You don't have to pay for health insurance for a machine. One maintenance tech can handle fix many machines that are more efficient
Cheesecakecrush
than that some kid who won't get off their phone
bogus1983
Wasn't saying that one would be cheaper than the other, just wondering what the cost would be.
Cheesecakecrush
The initial cost for RnD and actually setting up the machines would be high, along with having a tech which wouldn't be cheap
PlutoIX
So the same thing?
FrankGalikanokus
Not if you work for the Government...
AhhhThisStinks
I thought the meme was right then I saw your comment and remembered we're in a hiring freeze; thus making me irreplaceable. Thanks for that!

That doesn't give you any more job security.

I know...I was just being a wise ass.

For the timing being...of course.
