"Vocational awe" describes the feeling that your work matters so much that you should accept all manner of tradeoffs and calamities to get the job done. ttarh uses the term to describe the pathology of librarians, teachers, nurses and other underpaid, easily exploited workers in "caring professions."

It describes example of how tech industry in the U.S. is starting to exploit tech workers too.

Have you ever walked into a supermarket, pharmacy, or department store looking to buy a specific item, only to find the layout confusing? Perhaps you ended up aimlessly strolling around, purchasing other items? This is deliberate, and known as the Gruen Transfer.

The 'Transfer' part is the moment that you, as a consumer surrounded by a deliberately confusing layout, lose track of your original intentions.

Here's a problem that AO3 users, like the rest of the internet, encounter every day: How do you find a particular thing you're interested in, while filtering out all the other stuff you don't care about?

On AO3, users can put in whatever tags they want. (Autocomplete is there to help, but they don't have to use it.) Then behind the scenes, human volunteers look up any new tags that no one else has used before and match them with any applicable existing tags, a process known as tag wrangling. Wrangling means that you don't need to know whether the most popular tag for your new fanfic featuring Sherlock Holmes and John Watson is Johnlock or Sherwatson or John/Sherlock or Sherlock/John or Holmes/Watson or anything else.

AO3's Tag Wrangling Chairs estimate that the group is on track to wrangle about 2.7 million never-before-used tags in 2019, up from 2.4 million in 2018.

One reason for the humans is that AO3 began developing its routines in 2007, when the tech wasn't as advanced and they had a lot of willing volunteers. But even now, tag wranglers are skeptical that a machine could take over their tasks.

✅ Mandatory Commute policy: centers the outcome for workers - spending hours each day on an unpaid commute to and from the office just so we can be on video calls all day.

• Les gens n'ont plus le goût du travail, il faut réinstaurer la valeur travail !

• Absolument, je suis bien d'accord !

• Le travail c'est la vie !

• Tout à fait d'accord, quelle lucidité

• Heu, les gens doivent travailler, non à l'assistanat

• Mais tout à fait, et je suis contente que vous me rejoigniez sur le sujet. Taxer à 100% les revenus du capital pour que les gens n'aient que les revenus de leur travail est essentiel pour réinstaurer la valeur travail.

• Je suis bien d'accord

• C'est absolument scandaleux, nous voulons être sûrs de manger des animaux

• Vous avez tout à fait raison

• Les gens peuvent par accident manger des plantes au lieu d'un animal

• Tout à fait, il est essentiel de collectivement profiter de la stupidité des consommateurs carnistes afin qu'ils ingurgitent autre chose que des cadavres. Ils survivront et évolueront. Une alimentation végétalisée est nécessaire pour lutter contre le réchauffement climatique

• Mais je ...

• Ah et il faut absolument renommer l'eau de javel avant qu'il n'y ait un accident, ils sont tellement cons
