Proleization - A member of a favored class of worker being "demoted" to just a regular expendable worker or prole and all the trappings of its title. Doesn't exist as a word but there's no other way to describe it.

This has always happened, it's just now that we're hitting a terminal diagnosis that it's overt, you cannot skin a skinned cat and yet they will try. It's everywhere, anywhere, even those who got fat off skimmed off the exploitation of those below them are now themselves being culled to make the line just go up a little bit more. Some groups suffer it more than others but all working class are a cost and the instant you become something to be "reduced", they will do so and the more you cost the harder they'll try.

The Silicon Wafer Sword of Damocles

Tech workers are obviously the most overt case recently, people who made crazy amounts of money working for fucking MegaSuperDeathInc now getting mass fired. Replaced by AI, replaced by immigrant workers, off shored entirely or simply not replaced and the work put onto the rest of the team. It's obvious that their industry has now soured on them once they went from value maker to a "excessive cost" in relation to their newer alternatives. Remote Work was a short lived boon until companies realized that they could just do the same but much further away and cheaper.

From Guard Labour to No Labour

Even Cops aren't safe, to the eyes of the capitalist they are just a on going cost that produces nothing, if they could go without then they would. They're a constant cost and most western governments are not against tearing out coppers to sell for scrap. Plenty of money for speed cameras and speed vans in low population wealthy roads, weird how I can drive in a working class town and not see a speed camera for hours and yet go through 5 in 20 minutes in a nice rural area filled with rich people.

Born in [Working Class Area], Broken in the [Military]

Military are really to me the paramount of Proleization, because the instant you leave the military and need assistance, you'll be fucked with 24/7 until you give up or die. Getting your spinal cord collapsed and knees shattered but that's not service related so fuck off and die quicker so we don't have to pay for a tool that chose to stop being a tool. Getting your legs blown off by a IED and then having the part of the government specifically designed to help vets tell you that they can't build a ramp on your front door step so you can wheel yourself into your house, it's almost vindictive really, they must understand how not caring for your tools means you have less but it's too expensive in the short term.

If you sell your labour, you're on the list but it just hasn't gotten to you yet.

Even the ones left aren't really safe, because just like The Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, they feel the threat of losing their position. They're basically being Clockworked Orange'd into thinking a single step out of line means they lose it all and this job market is not one you can easily get back into. It's like Roman Decimation where they'd put 10 soldiers into groups and pick one of them to be beaten to death by the other 9, you lose one but the others know you're willing to do it to one of them next time.

Also due to basic economics, more bodies out of work means more workers, causing downward wages. People going "Bro go into a trade" don't get that not only do a lot of those jobs pay shit but now you have so many people going for apprenticeships that employers can easily treat people like shit and just replace them if they act up. Even if you're 100% safe, if you're a worker then you're still getting shit on you, it's just not directly on you but you're in the splash zone, this goes double for industries which require working people to have spending money.

I need a fucking drink, God damn. What say you stupidpol, is there some viable educational value in telling people who think they're "in" with the ownership class that they aren't immune to the meat grinder with the modern day job market as a showcase?

Got a offer for next month and just wondering what to expect, moving to a new area for a fresh start due to personnel reasons and my current job of building site laborer is actual mega dogshit so I just need something to regroup and rebuild for a while. Is what it is, good honest labour is good for the soul etc etc.

I've done it before some years back, liked it actually even when it got busy, way smaller than the place I'm going to now, last places was a small regular restaurant where this place is like a big countryside manor hotel in the deep south of England. Got some questions about it because information is useful and only having a sit down with them next month to hash out a proper deal so good questions to ask are a must.

1. This one is a Live In so there's option to live on site, what should I be expecting accommodation wise? Would I have the living arrangements deducted from pay?
2. What hours are usual, are there even "usual" hours? Anti social hours don't bother me much, I'm not much of a social person really, but I'm guessing there's also some opportunity for bonus hours during the busy times?
3. How interconnected would it be with the rest of the kitchen? Last place I worked, I was right in the thick of it in the kitchen, was just a sink and dishwasher right inside the kitchen. Was crazy seeing it's normal for people wearing headphones or listening to music while doing dish washing over at r/dishwashers when there's no way I'm subjecting the entire kitchen to my music taste.
4. Least important but treatment wise, how does the rest of the place treat the dishwasher? I remember being treated pretty well in my last place because I actually did my job I'd say very good, but I don't know if that's the norm.
