discouraged workers

In economics, discouraged workers is a person of legal employment age who is not actively seeking employment or who does not find employment after long-term unemployment. This is usually because an individual has given up looking or has had no success in finding a job, hence the term "discouraged". A discouraged worker is defined as a person not in the labor force who wants and is available for a job and who has looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of his or her last job if a job was held within the past 12 months), but who is not currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects.

The top five reasons for discouraged workers are the following:

1)The worker thinks no work is available.
2) The worker could not find work.
3) The worker lacks schooling or training.
4) The worker is viewed as too young or too old by the prospective employer.
5) The worker is the target of various types of discrimination.

co-workers with benefits

This is similar to friends with benefits with a spin on it. It refers to the people who work together and hook up. They aren't in a serious relationship with each other, they only use each other for sex. And if they are married, not to each other, even better.

In the movie, Secretary, the character played by James Spader and the character played by Maggie Gyllenhall were co-workers with benefits.

Wokelisted

When comments from your account or IP on a web forum get drowned out by a botnet or suppressed by an AI-powered algorithm because you used blacklisted political buzzwords that run counter to the webhost’s agenda.

While not an outright ban or shadowban, your comments become unreadable thanks to a flood of +1000’s of automated comments that follow yours to suppress your speech.

I got wokelisted by the admin for mentioning a fact about race, gender, or fascism on a specific subreddit. 34,000 botnet comments drown out mine whenever I post now.

Office workers

With the evolution of modern medicine, an office worker will live to around 85 years old. These zombie like humans, infected with the parasite of indoctrination, are compliant and conditioned to both obey and seek validation from the one source; Absolute authority.

Roger: "Want to jump off the bridge at high tide tonight?"
Tim: "Wow. I can't I have to be in the office by 7 am tommorow. "
Roger: "You wanker!"
Tim: "We all have to grow up someday."
Roger: "Piece of shit, office workers always say that."

United Auto Workers

A groop of overpayed automotive line workers, who are extremely lazy and dont care about their job.

The United Auto Workers union, is the association that these imcompitent line workers are a part of that fights with the auto company to get more money for the greedy workers, and to also help pervent replacing a workers job with a robot.

Those lazy United Auto Workers, i wish that the auto companys go bankrupt so that they can get rid of these leeches, and start back up agian with 8$/h burger flippers.
