Accounting:
Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.
Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.
I like the one guy who said he pays taxes so that he can have civilization. It kinda sucks a company has near-absolute monopoly of tax-return software, and thus I’m interested if there’s a FOSS alternative to that.
GNU Cash is an excellent alternative to QuickBooks as long as you do not need payroll services.
As an IT person: Intuit products.
Their support sucks and unless it’s operating as designed, you basically can’t get any answer more specific than “call support” online, and when you do decide to call them, the IT guy can never get answers unless the account holder is on the line because they refuse to talk to anyone who isn’t on the account and they refuse to add the IT guy to the account.
Also, QuickBooks desktop is basically dead. There will be no 2025 version as far as I’m aware. They’re forcing everyone into QuickBooks online.
Also, their automated file doctor tools are basically useless, rebuilding a file has a good chance of breaking it, requiring intervention from the data services team.
They also seem to have no idea what automation is, and have little to no shits to give over making deployment and management any easier/simpler for the IT staff that needs to support their product.
Fuck. Intuit.
Everyone hates Sales except C-suite.
Everyone also hates the C-Suite
At least they generate revenue.
Marketing, now that is a useless department with far too many people.
I don’t hate sales as a concept. I just dislike the sociopaths who tend to work there.
i thought you were going to say AI for the moment, that seems to be all the rage for csuites and ceos.
Hah, very true. i was thinking further back.
actual work.
Video game content creators hate reading ( especially controls )
I tend to think that’s kinda intentional. Drives up engagement by people telling them how to play in the chat. Also makes people think that they can do better and buy the game.
Damn, you created a doubt in me
Would all of this be a giant lie? AM I THE PRODUCT? (always was)
I look at controls in settings but all this time I assumed that was because I’m dumb. I thought “I was obviously supposed to know how controls work, because I need to go into a menu that is for changing controls, to see what controls are. If developers thought there was something that I couldn’t know without looking at the control map, it would have been in a top level menu called control/key map for me to have a quick look”.
This is basically why I can’t watch any “variety” streamers. They are, without exception, absolutely awful at learning new games or even just understanding what’s happening on screen.
You’d think that would be antithetical to having your livelihood hinge on playing a wide swathe of games, but here we are.
Steamers that focus on a specific game/genre thankfully tend to have some idea what they’re doing.
Their livelihood doesn’t hinge on playing the game. That’s just incidental. They depend on interaction with the audience and stopping to read and understand something is dead air.
I played games all my life, and it always baffled me how some streamers can master one game over several years and then be completely unusable in another. Like bruh, it is still a game, it is not THAT different. Sure, they might suck because they didn’t master the mechanics yet, but struggling with basic controls for an hour? They gotta be playing it…
Throw me into a game, and if the controls make sense it will probably be second nature to me in 15 minutes for me.
Neurophysiologist hate action potentials.
To be fair, just because you (generally, if you do cool stuff) want to sort the signals you recorded from a brain, a lot of times this messy annoying and takes up a lot of time. Saw quite some people get pretty mad about sorting spikes
Microbiologists hate wild microbes everywhere
I’d argue that most wild microbes are not as bad as domestic microbes with all their antibiotic resistance development.
Honestly, I’d just rather not have any except ones I’m working on. Sterility requirements bring in a lot of headaches.
A decent lab requires several intermediate clean zones and several layers of sterile coats, plus if anything opens outside the flow cabinet, it’s as good as empty, except now you also get to manage the contamination of the surroundings.
And some molds are REALLY sturdy.
Pharmacy: PBMs
What does PBM mean?
In the United States, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) is a third-party administrator of prescription drug programs.
[…]
PBMs play a role as the middlemen between pharmacies, drug manufacturers, wholesalers, and health insurance plan companies.
Parasites who make money off of ripping off patients and fucking over pharmacists. They are the rotten core of the US healthcare system and the primary facilitators of the exploitation machine turning your misery into profit.
They negotiate cheap prices from the manufacturers, charge the pharmacies (and by extension the patients) an arm and a leg and pocket the difference.
I believe they’re also the ones that argue with the pharmacist whether the patient really needs that expensive life-saving medication their insurance doesn’t want to cover, because they get kickbacks for saving them money. Sure, you might have cancer, but have you tried Yoga instead of chemo?
Dr. Glaucomflecken has a nice video on it as part of his series on US healthcare.
All medical folks hate those bastards. The highest driver of increased prices, and only serves as the middle man.
IT people hate computers
I hate that computers=troubleshooting, to the point where I won’t buy stuff with unnecessary computer electronics in it. Its getting to the point where I look at a product and just convert it in my head to however long I think it will take out of my life to troubleshoot it repeatedly.
But yes, I still work in IT by choice, for some reason.
More like a love and hate relationship. I normally turn off my work computer and turn on my gaming one. Most of my time I am using one. Or a pocket computer some call it smartphone.
I have nothing against computers, as long as people aren’t allowed to touch them
I saw a “update” button pop up on my screen. The IT guy ran over, shouted “WTF I turned that off! Fucking bullshit!” And he stormed off.
I think about that a lot.
i keep a shot gun in case my pc makes any wonky sound.
Well, they may distrust or dislike them, but I reckon the hate goes towards printers - especially label printers
Oh that’s the burning vitriol for all things of the infernal depths yes
Even worse: network based label printers. Fuck them.
Paramedics hate methamphetamine. And alcohol. And high voltage electrical current.
But we love people who injure themselves creatively.
So is it bad that I’m on prescription amphetamines and had to do some unexpected work on the wiring on a 3-phase compressor after having a beer?
Nah, you’re good. True methheads are… something else… That stuff really fries brains.
Stupid people are our job security.
I think they meant unpredictable. Ie. So drunk or high on meth you might be violent towards the medics
SLTs hate pacifiers. They’re horrible for a child’s teeth, leads to costantly open mouths, are bad for posture etc… Most patients’ parents who come into therapy are good about weaning their kids but some don’t and don’t know about the harm either
What does SLT mean?
As the other commenter said. Alternatives are also SLP - speech and language practitioner/pathologist, but I don’t think there’s a standardised name that’s always used in English. “Logopedics” is probably not used that often in English compared to “Logopädie” in German
Speech and Language Therapist
or Swine, Lettuce, Tomato for a type of sandwich
every time i pick a different direction in my career, Donald Trump personally brings about that industry’s ruin
Become a hedge fund analyst or maybe get a job with McKinsey
McKinsey will likely be one of the few actual victims of AI replacing jobs.
Have you considered a job in the military-industrial complex, or maybe at a hedge fund?
Instructions unclear now I’m having an affair with Pete Hegseth.
WW3 and having to suck up to racist pedophiles, those are already on the chopping block
For lawyers? The Dunning-Kruger effect.
When a client tells you they’ve done their own research. Either go pro se or shut up and let us handle your mess.
That’s the enemy of anyone with any specialization
Emergency Medicine: Alcohol and/or fireworks Family Medicine: Wellness influencers Surgery: Pre-op NSAIDs (eg ibuprofen) Pediatrics: RFK Jr
Neurology: Football (American football) and boxing
Bet MMA is making the list too
Epidemiology too for RFK.
We all hate RFK, except Ortho. Those guys seem to like stupid $&#(.
Oh, I forgot for OB/Gyn: GOOP and “Natural Birth Midwives”
School bus drivers hate landscapers. And Amazon delivery drivers, but at least those fuckers move quickly.
We also hate children but I probably shouldn’t admit that publicly.
And palaeoecologists hate people that borrow our lab, leave shit everywhere, and try to take it over. For FUCKS SAKE.
Nvidia hates Wayland. :(
Nvidia hates people but lives because of them
frick! I just switched to wayland coz Schedule I was crashing xorg.
Physical therapists hate motorcycles.
Cell biologists hate contaminants.
Anyone using a phone hates clankers.
There’s one automated system I need to call regularly at work that does not give me the option of dialing numbers and forces me to speak to it. It lists the options it can understand, but I can’t just press a number to move on. Then it asks me to say and spell my first name, then say my last name (which it guesses the spelling of incorrectly) and pretends to type while it’s processing. Why are we doing this?
Stop humanising answering machines by equating them to Star Wars level droids please.
Insulting.
Star wars droids are just more advanced answering machines
Arborists hate Bradford pear trees. They’re the ones that have white flowers and smell like cum. That’s not even why we hate them though.
Some house nearby must have one of those in their garden, because there’s a section of the road where I always catch that odour. Thanks for pointing it out to me, now I’ll look for the tree next time I have to pass through.
There’s actually a few trees that can smell this way but if it’s in the spring and there are white flowers then it’s probably this one.
Funeral Homes hate the Government.
They are incredibly rude to the families receiving financial assistance, it takes 3 months for them to pay us, and did you know that if you don’t have a will they cut your step-children out of the process entirely?
We had one gentleman in our care whose only living family was his step-daughter. Because there were no blood relatives and no will the Public Guardian took control of his disposition and the step-daughter had no say in anything that happened with him. Wasn’t allowed to keep a portion of the ashes, the Funeral Director had to fight just to allow the step-daughter a brief final visitation.
This is also true for children under 18. Your 17 year old child has no say in your disposition if you have no other living relatives.
Have a will people, if for no other reason than to allow your loved ones to decide how they will grieve rather than some indifferent bureaucrat.
Proctologists hate things without a flared base.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but not this way!”
Firemen hate pedophiles Teachers hate pedophiles Doctors hate pedophiles Lawyers hate pedophiles Liberals hate pedophiles Conservatives hate pedophiles Independents hate pedophiles Where’s the fucking list Donny? Give us the list you fat orange fuck. We know you’re on it, and so do you. How did you think this was going to pan-out, dumbass?
Drumpf serving as US “President”…
Software devs hate users
Dentists hate 1, 16, 17, and 32.
Software engineers hate MBAs. It’s like they live in a fantasy world where everything works perfectly and can be done in 3 days and can read your mind.
For admins, it’s users. Period
