    All these comments, man… I work from home and still manage to fuck around a lot, but unfortunately I have a boss who is on my ass a lot while my co-workers get to do whatever they want. (They’re all white, I’m not.) Would love to find a job where I could just fuck around all day.

      It’s wild how distinct the racial stratification in the US is in labor types especially, it’s de facto apartheid. I feel like we don’t even think about it because it’s so normal. Compared to most blue collar jobs mine is super cushy, nearly everyone in our department and the admin levels above are white, wheras at the same organization every security guard and cleaner is BIPOC. This is in an area with a very high level of racial diversity. There is one cleaner I can think of that is white I’ve ever seen there.
