30 Jobs That People Once Respected But Realized Are Done By Awful People

I lost respect for journalists after some of them hacked Milly Dowler's phone. For anyone who doesn't know, Milly Dowler was a child who was murdered. The resulting scandal brought down the newspaper these journalists worked for. For more information, click: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jul/04/milly-dowler-voicemail-hacked-news-of-world Not only did the hacking interfere with the investigation, it gave false hope to Milly's family who thought that cuz messages were being deleted, it meant that their daughter was still alive. It was eventually found out that Milly had been a victim of serial killer Levi Bellfield.

They are just whores

To be fair, the bad ones tend to mostly be on one side.

Eh.....no. There's a number of "news outlets" that are just propaganda machines, and do not actually employ journali. Those have conditioned their viewers to view actual journalism as fake, and decry true fact checking as political bias. Even if it costs three quarters of a billion dollars.

What? No. This is a bad take. Perhaps you're confusing the talking heads on television with journalists.

Let's not forget that almost every elected official at the national level owns two residences, so they all have a vested interest in allowing the housing crisis to continue

It is the same world wide.

I mean they still have a royalty.

Every professional sport has become a cancer on society. Be it ghastly salaries of players, colleges over-funding sports programs at the expense of science and research, enabling abusers/anti-science/anti-vaxx morons, or the pointless idolatry of someone who can make a ball go far. It's all garbage. Not to mention major franchises exploiting every aspect of capitalism to force cities to fund their multi-billion dollar arenas. It's all garbage now

Not only football players, but anyone who goes from Nada to Prada and now feel better than anyone else. I have a friend, millionaire, and drives a fu*ing humble Honda, still goes to the nasty pub with us and all. The only change he's made is he wears better clothes, not brand names, but more durable.

Americans are in awe of british football obsession london alone has 20 Profesional teams, right?

Christians should remember that Christ was very vocal in pointing out that religious leaders can be quite lousy people.

I was raised Catholic we never had any issues with our priests that I am aware of, later in life I've become an atheist due to the overwhelming evidence that man made religions are just ways to control populations, anyway my very much Catholic parents and many hard core Catholic members of our community no longer go to mass as a sort of quiet protest of all of the absolute atrocities committed by the various priests of the church, they will likely die as a religion of they don't do something real about it soon.

Priests are just people using their position for their own benefit. Like others do, too. Religion is no different.

This is one of the reasons why im atheist.

being religious requires poor morals.... being a religious leader requires absolute depravity and a lack of any basic decency

With no actual science behind it...

Chiropractors once had respect?

I went to one once. I asked questions that she couldn't answer. She'd vaugley point to an anatomy poster while saying a bunch of words that did not answer a thing. At the time I was a doula and had been required to take anatomy and physiology. I didn't know much but I knew enough to know she wasn't actually saying anything. We proceed and I ended up leaving with the worst headache I've ever had. I could barely drive home, was nauseous, and almost went to the ER. Never again.

Chiropractors are a con. And dangerous.

The chiropractor I had one appointment with told me he could "cure" my epilepsy, I was really confused about it because I didn't know epilepsy could be cured.

I only know about the American system, and I'm not liking the tenure system, it's like once they get their tenure they no longer have any motivation to actually teach. And too many of them are really only teaching their opinion, I told my kid to get through college by quickly learning what the teacher wanted to hear and lean her papers to stroke their ego get her degree(s) and don't look back.

Yeah, depends on the country and university itself. I work for a dean and he is the best boss I've ever had. Outcome-oriented, flexible, contactable in every emergency, always covering his employees backs.

HR = Human resources....which means that that department exists to play defense for the company against said human resources.

Never trust HR. I am in mgt myself and never had a decent, trustful dealing with them. Whether it was about myself, or interviewing others, or moving people from one business unit to another. They are not on your side, dear colleagues.

HR...I've done that work before, not a nice business. I have some comfort knowing I am a Union Member and I've been witness to the Union standing up for workers rights.

I worked for years with HR departments whose role was to BALANCE the interests of the employer, managers, and employees. The HR teams were staffed by amazing people of high integrity and competence. It’s very sad to see HR torn down and turned into a corrupt shill for corporate mismanagement and abuse, with absolutely zero interest in helping anyone who isn’t a company owner. My own experience for 25+ years was entirely different and I’m devastated to see the change.

Who told you that HR is there for the employees??? HR is there for the company, not it's employees of course. Never forget that a company's interests not always align with employees' interests. Sometimes they do, for a while, and then suddenly they don't. If you want independent help, that's why we have trade unions. They wil give you the information HR won't provide you with.

I feel this is because of predatory corporations though. Understaffing, low wages, s****y hours, and obvious exploitation of dependent people making it really hard on your ethics/morals/mental health. And especially how they find the most soulless corrupt individuals to run the management. It takes a special kind of evil to exploit the elderly/infirm and working for or with those people must be excruciating

When my wife's little brother was still alive, she got in carers. One was brilliant, the rest were lazy and useless. Social Services didn't give a s**t either.

The one essential requirement for any health worker is empathy….how would I treat this person if it was my mum, husband, etc. Many workers have zero empathy and couldn’t care less how their patients are feeling, preserving dignity, treating respectfully. The job isn’t about money so if you don’t want to help people, get out and work somewhere you can be as mean as you like and it doesn’t matter.

I can speak directly about private security, I do executive protection it's more about the company's mentality then the direct people. It's my job to play middle man between the public and the police basically keeping the peace not needing higher powers to get involved. I deescalate situations and just try to keep people safe and out of trouble.
