Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I want to get into cybersecurity. I am willing to learn about it and do the job effectively. My dumbfuck cornfed manager said they want to make sure i have a "passion" for it. No, i will not think about cybersecurity day and night like i'm in love with it, you dumb fuck middle manager.

I know a lot of people working in research on shit wages who are extremely passionate about their work, to the point that they work dozens of hours of overtime every week.

I personally am passionate about legal advocacy as well, and find the work fulfilling.

Plenty of non-rudimentary tasks are necessary and fulfilling outside the framework of capitalism.
