And We Are Listening to What Jeff Sessions Says Because . . ?
Any takers? The bottom line is that Jeff Sessions has balls as big as melons to be taking anyone to task for their work ethic or lack of commitment - I mean the guy IS a U.S. Senator.
The average white collar worker can whine all they want about the knuckle-breaking work they do (and yes, I have worked in offices for years, so please don't try to snow me with any horror stories), and yes, the stress levels can be incredible, but it is mostly because a lot of white collar work is useless, nonproductive and soul-sucking, which is why so many white collar employees think they should be paid good bucks for it.
Blue collar workers have been ridiculed, and condescended to for years, and for the most part didn't care because they made a decent wage and had job security. As many posters have pointed out, the average blue collar worker now faces the constant threat of layoff, pension fraud, and a pay scale that is only decent if they want to work 70 hrs. a week.
Well, white collar workers face the same thing you may say, which is exactly the point. If one is going for a crappy, soul-sucking job where nobody respects them and they face constant layoffs and pay cuts, wouldn't most people go for the job with the air conditioning? Jeff Sessions did.
