Sure, everyone has one they love to hate. And many make a mess of things. But, can you name your county comptroller? How about your justice of the peace? Are they doing well? Are they doing good? Most politicians are run-of-the-mill civil servants. And those that have to go through the extra step of getting elected are much the same.
Lawyers. They are the butt of a lot of jokes but most people will need to use a lawyer at some point in their life. Buying a house? Creating a will? Fighting a traffic ticket? The ambulance chasers and the corporate lawyers may deserve the bad rap but as a profession there are tons of just normal people doing normal things
My friend has a small online only business and he frequently collaborates with influencers to advertise his products and there is a good CAC from them than traditional advertising through meta or Google..
Problem is that some of them do try to contact them for free stuff and all without having enough followers or engagement
I do warehouse security/safety and we get called “professional snitches” and “wannabe cops” a lot. We also get a lot of shit because we enforce rules on the floor that keep people safe, it’s part of my job to walk around, identify unsafe conditions and osha violations, then make sure they get corrected before someone gets hurt. People DO get hurt in the warehouse a lot, the rules are in place for a reason and the first time that dude with knee-length locs gets them stuck in a conveyor belt, he’s gonna wish he listened to me.
Most of them are good people who are genuinely trying to protect the civilians in their area and hate the corrupt individuals in their system as much as we do.
Therapists. We are expected to have one line magical solutions and produce “aha” moments every session. People want quick results even if they come inconsistently, don’t engage, or aren’t willing to engage meaningfully. Yes, sometimes your therapist will start your session 3 minutes late because they have been holding their pee for the past 2 sessions or they need a quick snack because they agreed to squeeze you in on their lunch break. Most of us are horrendously overworked but still feel guilty when we take a day off. For every horror story there is a good therapist out there who is excellent at what they do, but isn’t doing clinical work because the system has burned them out.
Yes. Call them a mean old child snatcher when you make the call to remove a kid from a meth house and a choster relative.
You think they get to choose their cases? Hahaha no. They hate the false alarms more than you do. For all you know? That kid who is bumming breakfast off of their friends is doing so cause mom and dad are on a bender.
You’re always seen as perhaps the single most expendable position in the jurisdiction you work in. Your job’s always on the chopping block.
You get to see the absolute WORST of society. The worst of the worst. And what’s your compensation for dealing with this? Stigma of being called a “Child snatcher” and being seen as expendable. PTSD.
You think the social workers are the bad guy when they do something like take a kid away from an incompetent parent (or guardian) who can’t even get their own life in check? Yeah – trust me. It hurts them just as much, Along with the false alarms and the extreme cases? Those hurt them the MOST. Because yeah, they know that “meaning well” isnt’ enough. :/ I knew a social worker who adamantly refused to let Lilo & Stitch play around her cause she had to be Cobra Bubbles.
Male gynaecologists. Of course us women are in our right to feel uncomfortable about it, however these men are licensed medical professionals. Nobody knows about why they decided to go into their work. They could’ve had a mother/wife/sister who died from medical malpractice and their motive is to save other women from the same fate. I think it’s commendable. And of course we can ask for female gynaecologists, but I think it’s unfair to deem an entire profession of men as untrustworthy when they are in the field to better our lives.
Yes, there are men who abuse their power. Absolutely. But in the same breath, should we also prohibit female urologists from their professions?
If you are studying to become a gynaecologist, regardless of gender, I praise you. Truly. So many women die because of these related factors. You save lives and families from so much hardship in a world that’s already quite male-centric. You deserve to be commended as heroes no matter your gender.
Engineers. They have a boss just like everyone else, and these bosses dont have unlimited time and money to let their engineers design something that is both super functional and super easy to maintain. I think a lot of the hate comes from maintenance folks who dont understand why something was designed a certain way.
Anyone who does “Menial” jobs and minimum wage jobs.
You think they don’t deserve a living wage and that they should do it better if they want a living wage? Then why how about YOU do it and show them how it’s done?
Cops or Corrections. I got absolutely shit on as a federal law enforcement officer when I’m genuinely super nice to literally everyone lmao. Its so weird
Animal Control Officers. They’re always treated as if they are there to take animals away from their homes and have them put down, but in reality they love animals and want nothing more than to have people give proper care to their pets, keeping them at home. No ACO takes joy in EU & it’s mostly done these days to put an end to suffering that animals aren’t going to recover from. And if your dog gets picked up it’s because you were letting it run loose on the streets, which isn’t cool no matter how nice your dog is. Just because they’re nice, doesn’t mean that the world is going to be nice to them in return. Disease, other animals, mean hearted people, cars, so many possible things that can harm them.
Cops. The job on a surface level description sounds really noble, enforcing laws and keeping society running without fear of being a victim of crime. Most cops are good people. Unfortunately the current political climate and incentives attract and protect certain people to the profession that I wouldn’t trust to manage a Wendy’s, much less to be a cop.
You have to attend mandatory classes and seminars about updated educational theories and new curriculum standards that have been mandated by the state in order to keep your teaching license – and not only do you not get paid by your district, you have to pay out of pocket for the privilege of attending these mandatory re-education courses.
That doesn’t count all the time you’ll spend in your classroom over the summer doing things to prepare for the next year (I originally had typed it all out in a list, but it just became an overwhelming, massive wall of text) none of which you’ll be paid or reimbursed for.
And all of it will be done in a dank, musty-ass building that’s hotter than hell because unless there are students in the classrooms then there’s no reason to run the air conditioning.
IRS agents. Yeah, we don’t like paying taxes, but we have cheaters and scammers even more. I pay mine, I want everyone else to pay theirs too. We need IRS agents to do that.

And poof, the word “overhated” sprang into existence.

Anyone who isn’t a 9 to 5 private sector office drone gets hate.

Honestly, cops.

Real estate agents which they deserve.
Federal employee 😑
Teachers. They are too tired and busy to care about indoctrinating your little angel, Karen.
Police officers
I’d argue security officers.

I am going out on a limb here and will say “Politicians”, especially at the state and federal level.
Teachers
“BuT yOu GeT sUmMeRs OfF!!@!”
Yeah, unpaid. And I did the math — I worked more hours in a 10-month school year by far than I do now in 12 months in corporate America.
Parking wardens.
Without them you’d literally never get a park in almost any city on earth

Government workers. We don’t represent the party in power. We try to represent you.
Used car sales..
Market and buyers make the prices
Social Workers.
Yes. Call them a mean old child snatcher when you make the call to remove a kid from a meth house and a choster relative.

Thought about this hard today, and now they are showing the value they have by saving America…..
Lawyers.
Chemists. Only some of us are crazy people who make dumb shit. I personally am on like 2 or 3 government lists
The Murse.
Cops, they’re the thin, blue line, I mean imagine if they saif fuck it and went on strike.
Engineers. They have a boss just like everyone else, and these bosses dont have unlimited time and money to let their engineers design something that is both super functional and super easy to maintain.

Yeah, I thought so.
Realtors. Buying a house is complicated as shit, and a good realtor makes it so much easier.
Cops or Corrections. I got absolutely shit on as a federal law enforcement officer when I’m genuinely super nice to literally everyone lmao. Its so weird
Gaming journalists and critics. But of right wing losers are mad they can’t get paid to play games so they take it out on the people who can.
Cops, everyone hates the cops until they need them.

Referees in sport. There would be no game without them and they’re mostly trying their best but everyone hates referees it seems.

Apparently federal employees
“But you GeT sUmMeRs OfF!!”
It’s worse than being unpaid:
You have to attend mandatory classes and seminars about updated educational theories and new curriculum standards that have been mandated by the state in order to keep your teaching license – and not only do you not get paid by your district, you have to pay out of pocket for the privilege of attending these mandatory re-education courses.

Wow no dentist ? Weird people tell me they hate me regularly…
