I thought they already had, given the type of work/life/benefits culture we have here. Which makes me wonder: which other jobs don’t have any leave or pension plans?
Your leave policies are a mess for people just moving here from other parts of the EU. You can end up with practically no leave for a year.
Our leave policies are also a mess for everyone just out of college/university, because no one really informs anyone. I’m assuming they’re kinda the same for anyone coming in from anywhere else…
Very good news!
Sex work is real work. Everyone of us trade our bodies or our minds for pay.
Correct!
Btw, a protip - it’s super insecure to make your username be the same as your password, @horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world!
Yes, but writing computer code is not the same as offering sex. One if a purely intellectual practice, the other is connected to our souls and will damage us inside.
I think it’s great that sex workers get benefits, but let’s not kid ourselves that sex work is purely a normal job.
spoken like someone who has never written code as a job
You don’t think writing code damages your soul? Have you met software developers?
Devs are at the bottom of the list of Cosmo’s dateworthy by profession for a very good reason.
I love this thread you created where you’re like “hooking is bad for you unlike software developing” and all these devs hop in like, “so is there a certificate program for sex work?”
have you actually done any programming? it’s ‘soul damaging’ asf
there are hundreds? thousands? of soul crushing occupations. sex work is real work.
One if a purely intellectual practice, the other is connected to our souls and will damage us inside.
True enough, selling your soul to Google to pay the bills might make.you reasses your life and becone a sex worker.
My snark aside, your assertion is the most ridlcious ludicrous thing I’ve read this year and theres not much left to the year. Its that weird perspective that makes it different to what ? fisting a cow as a vetenerian or jacking off a horse to collect it’s semen ?
Nah. I write computer code, it’s very similar especially when it comes to managing clients.
I’m not sure which job is which.
As someone who writes computer code for a living, I might match those up differently than you’d expect.
Would you make sex work illegal, if you could?
I’m sorry, you count “selling furniture” or “making cheese” as normal jobs? Call me sheltered but I’ve gone over 30 years on this planet and never met anyone who’s done either lol.
Working in a business environment is connected to our souls and will damage us inside, it’s not different in kind, and if it’s different in intensity it is because of the lack of protection and the level of abuse which people get away with.
About time … all those whores in political office have had the same rights and benefits for decades.

Typo in quoted text, OP…
But seriously, wonderful progressive policy. Some of those people work very hard and word is that their clients can be a real pain in the ass sometimes too.

Not very sex positive of you… you sound like a bit of a prudish gatekeeper.mmm here, no? Sex workers suck and fuck… Do you think they should feel shame for these acts they choose to perform professionally?
