Big name airlines treat their workers pretty well
Software engineering and website development.
I work at a place (state government) that has very flexible hours, lets people step out for a few hours to take care of errands, gives you time off with no questions asked, etc. Having said that, I feel very fortunate, as I have heard some horror stories about other places.
For now lol.
It’ll definitely change if AI puts a bunch of us out of work, but I don’t think it’s something to laugh about. I worked my ass off to get into this career, self-educating for a decade until I finally broke into the cushy jobs. I have no idea what I would do if my career goes away. There’s nothing else that I’m as good at as I am at programming.
I don’t think it’s simple enough to lump entire work sectors as good or bad. I would argue that that kind of macro look will gloss over the people you will work for.
The company reputation and turnover is what is really worth looking into. If a company has low turnover and its employees speak highly of their work environment are one’s worth looking into. The only exception to that would be if there was higher turnover but those people leaving move to bigger things or don’t look back on their time poorly.
Law enforcement and union busting. There is a lot of overlap but they’re separate enough.

I think you got your answer. Fuck industry
The fuck industry? You talking about porn?
I hear they are treated badly and paid little for amount of work they do.
It’s hard work but pays handsomely.
I’m not sure if this applies in general, but government sectors probably. My brother works in engineering for infrastructure and stuff, and he always brags about how much time off he gets and work life balance etc. Of course not when some environmental disaster happens, then there are lots of shit (sometimes literally) for him to deal with
I am a civil engineer in local government. Your brother is lucky. While there are some good things (pension, vacation, benefits, paid overtime), we are underpaid, have little flexibility on schedule, and are not permitted to WFH, except in d course for on our own time
Yeah when I read the question, “construction” is definitely not one of the things that came to my mind. The work is simply too demanding, so many people involved, deadlines, work under the sun, in general I think building is hard work. I can see a structural engineer or consultant having a nice life-balance tho.
That is very, very, very much not the case in general. Your brother works at a unicorn office.
Yeah could be. It could probably be also more to do with them having a union.
Guess it depends on the country.
Right now, UK public sector is absolutely dire. A lot of us are wildly overworked and underpaid. I’ve honestly considered going back to the private sector because I could be earning about £10-15k/pa more, but at least in my specific sector I have guaranteed job security and some (largely false at this point) sense of making a positive contribution to the society I live in.
Job progression isn’t easy, especially now because of cuts and recruitment freezes. There’s no benefits other than always getting public holidays off. Our pensions were wrecked in 2015 and won’t even compensate for it.
One with a union.
This is the only answer.
My man be careful you are not constructing yourself an overly simplistic world view where everyone is a goodie or a baddie.
Or in qualified workers shortage.
nurses angrily enter the chat
Yeah labor shortage doesn’t do enough…
Not all the time. I worked for a company that treated me pretty well around the union, but the union would protect the workers who screwed up and would get them back, even when the screw up was a major one that violated booze laws. And since it was seasonal work, they didn’t really have a good method for helping find work out of the season… I really think the company would still act the same without the union.
