No saying politicians please
Outgoing call center, Door to door “sales”, professional panhandlers.
Lobbyists, Human Resources, CEO’s, Corporate Attorney, Hedge fund manager, FBI, CIA, Mossad, ICE and Televangelist
Scammer. People don’t think it’s a “profession” in the true sense but it absolutely is. Majority of higher up people in scam call centers or phishing campaigns do it as their day job and they certainly make more money than the average honest worker putting in the same amount of effort.
Why anyone should hate politicians is beyond me.
There are definitely many power hungry and disingenuous politicians. Probably the vast majority. BUT hating politicians as a rule is just antidemocratic cynicism IMO. An excuse to not pay attention, to not hold politicians accountable, and to not want to compromise under any circumstance.
Marketing, particularly Ads people. They exist only to hype shitty products, primarily. Sure they might get eyeballs on unknown brands, but I feel like that’s not what they are paid big bucks for.
I want to also ad the people who are determined to put ads on FUCKING EVERYTHING. I grew up in the 90s, I remember when gods damn gas pumps were silent… I remember when the flashiest thing we saw on the store was when the soda displays were made into cool shapes… Get off my lawn and take your damn roofing company sign with you.
I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.
Marketing consultants
Law Enforcement. Military personnel.

I despise tow operators (unless they exclusively work for repair shops) and their lesser cousins, car booters.
I’m also a “fuck cars” adherent, but tow operators are cop collaborators, and car booters are assisting them both to steal and ransom people’s personal property at the behest of capital.
Imperial stenographers
Hedge fund investors, CEOs, cops, self help industry folks, homeopathic medicine salespeople, organizational structure consultants, social media influencers,
just gonna keep adding,
Suburban development planners, strip mall developers, developers who displace PoC neighborhoods, anyone in health insurance in the US, Catholic not-for-profits writ large, Catholic priests, tourist helicopter pilots…
- (in-house) Recruiter
- Project Manager
- Agile Coach
These are probably my top three. Recruiters who work in company HR, are usually very moody about who they pick, based on personal preference rather than facts. Sole proprietor recruiters are effective though, that’s why only the in-house ones.
The other two are similar, but they’re the “I work in IT” people who neither possess nor perform the technicalities. Actual imposters (unlike many good folk who do fair work but sometimes suffer from the “imposter syndrome”).
And yes, exceptions happen too. I just dislike these three roles in particular.
HR managers. They are there to protect the company and not the employees
Scammers/grifters. Put all that effort into something moral and legal and make a living without having to worry.
Defense attorneys. They give you false hope they can give you a positive outcome but they just want more billable hours.
Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don’t know what they don’t know.
