I love Mike Rowe the Corporate Hoe and as an assistant manager at McDonald's I have encouraged my employees to sign this pledge multiple times.

Most punch-able face on TV.

Will taking the SWEAT pledge get me my foreskin back?

good show, comfy host, great look at blue collar America that everyone else forgot.

>11 and 12 instantly contradict each other

Thr show isnt bad but IRL Mike Rowe is a ridiculously dishonest faggot. And I'll be damned if I let a radio personality who """"roughs it"""" for a few days a week before colllecting his millions, try and school me about actual work ethic amd how awesome it is to lap up your bosses cum.

Why can crack whore single mothers in their 40s get entry level retail jobs but I can't?

What are you trying to accomplish?

You have had all the discussion you need. Go live your life.

meme?

this what a retard
I wonder if he actually made that or if mr. Opera singer TV show host got one of his unpaid interns to write it.

comfy show, wish they didnt run out of material and made more seasons

>11 and 12 instantly contradict each other
and many of the points are completely in violation of several workplace safety or workers rights.

he's basically a corporate shill.

I'm no commie but he sounds like a cuck for the fatcats

>BLOMPFFFFF thread x9001

Naw, fuck off cuck.

Overrated show and it's laughable how Faux News keeps putting him on because he's the only """""""celebrity"""""" who will parrot their right-wing garbage.

>be an american goy
>get circumcised at birth
>take out loans for college
>work like a dog for minimum wage
>only have 12 vacation leaves and sick leaves
>get sick get huge debt again for medical expenses
>get hated for being white

what is it with americans and slave labour? its just now americans are the jews' slaves lol.

truly their greatest ally. they didn't just take their foreskin they also took your balls

>DUDE BE A GOOD WORKER BEE LMAO

I like his show and the way he legitimizes people that do thankless work, but this reads like some dystopian capitalist cult shit. You have no right to be happy, just to work a shitty job for the sake of your own pride so someone else can make money off of it.

I heard that Europeans get 2 months of vacation per year, is that right? We get 2 weeks lmao.

I didn't like the show.

But I've enjoyed every interview with him I've listened to. I wish his message was more popular.

this basically

Did you sign the pledge yet?

No they aren't. People are equal under the eyes of the law, but the world isn't fair.

He doesn't really seem to practice what he preaches.

>Hey guys, time to throw on a suit, get a job, grab those bootstraps and MAN UP *DonDraper.jpg*

I hate this faggot shit, and I have a good career and everything.

>I came up with this nonsense several years ago while drinking beer at my kitchen table and searching for a way to sum up the kind of belief system I’d like to encourage in the work force. What I settled on was the S.W.E.A.T Pledge – a 12-point statement of belief that espoused my personal feelings toward work. It stands for “Skill and Work Ethic Aren’t Taboo,” and its format was inspired by the Boy Scout Law and AA’s Twelve Step Recovery Plan. Mostly though, it’s a collection of lessons learned from Dirty Jobs that I believe every worker would benefit from embracing, regardless of their job or skill set.

>I’ve also been told my Pledge is “weighted heavily in favor of employers,” who are really just looking for “more and more ways to abuse their workers.” I don’t see it that way, but I can understand why others do. It’s popular these days, to see employers as the enemy. I reject that out of hand

...

Yes yes very good goy come in early, stay late, and make me some more money

>wait did I hear this right goyim? you want to take a 2 day vacation leave to celebrate your son's graduation? we can't have that goy, not when the company's at its all time lowest profit when i just bought a new house in Los Angeles. Do you even feel any passion for this company goy? Seems not, looks like that promotion will have to go to my nephew Moshe who's loves our company more.

>It’s popular these days, to see employers as the enemy. I reject that out of hand

Spoken like someone who doesn't really work. I haven't seen his show but I assume he does these "Dirty Jobs" for like a week before moving on?

>How many layers of ideology are you under, my man?

Literally diving naked in it, it appears.

>Will taking the SWEAT pledge get me my foreskin back?
Why the fuck is this still making me laugh?

>Americucks WILL defend this

But I worked really hard for that promotion Mr. Shlomo!

People being equal wouldn't make the world fair.

>great look at blue collar America that everyone else forgot.
Go to bed Drumpfkin. Impeachment is coming soon and Mother Russia will be purged. Hillary is already making her case to be appointed as president by UN mandate.

>Why can crack whore single mothers in their 40s get entry level retail jobs but I can't?
Because you're a scary, unwashed creep that scares mothers, single women and young girls. Back to the popcorn mines, Quasimodo.

Can't speak for the Europeans, but here in England I get 28 days paid holiday (that's not including bank holidays).

But I shower every day. I have a gf too. Its not fair.

I would agree with you on that, though I will concede that it is debateable.

What cannot be debated is the fact that 1 and 10 directly contradict one another.

>the cuck manifesto

>But I shower every day. I have a gf too. Its not fair.
>unemployed, even in low paying wagecuck job
>gf
nice try

Isn't #7 just pretty much saying "Live to work, not work to live?" I mean that's a pretty crappy life view to have.

Why can't he just do porn

>#6: Fuck OSHA and employer's responsibility to maintain a safe working environment and standards

Fuck this guy.

Dirty Jobs was a pretty fun show.

What the fuck has Mike Rowe actually done in life, though, besides be on TV?

Is this what a good goy looks like?

I think he's talking about complying with police and private security

That you have to actually behave

>Passion for the company
It's frightening to have a manager so utterly cucked he actually starts to worship the company

Reminder that you need to hold at least one, awful shitty job. Otherwise you're a sheltered worthless cuck

He's too busy spending money he made being a television actor and not a blue collar worker to do porn.

>he's never been written up for having his safety glasses 0.045 degrees off horizontal, thus creating a SAFETY HAZARD

Why does everyone pretend to be 'blue collar' when discussing Mike Rowe when y'all obviously menial labour retailcucks? Nobody cares about your 'abloo bloo muh employer mean' garbage, you're expendable labour and you've never spent an moment of your life learning a job skill besides jerking off in the changerooms at H&M.

It doesn't say that at all. It means that even if your place of work is "safe" and is maintained by your employer you shouldn't be lured into a false sense of security. If your job is dangerous or has hazards you have to look out for yourself.

>he's so fucking sheltered that he never heard these words from the company or the boss about passsion, loving your work , treat your company as your family etc.

Kike Rowe is trying to create a new generation of shabbos goyim

user the fucking problem is that the stupid bullshit in the OP is encouraging you to accept being expendable labour and to eat up whatever shit is put in front of you.

this

people, especially millennials, forget that when you are employed YOU are a part of the company and YOU must be safe. responsibility sucks, just like blink 182

It used to make sense when their was a sense of a social contract between labor and management. That hasn't been the case for the last 40 years or so.

>reading comprehension

I have absolutely zero respect for people who never had to work a shitty job

t. paid for a degree by emptying shit and piss out of passenger planes

>I believe the best way to distinguish myself at work is to show up early, stay late, and cheerfully volunteer for every crappy task there is.

Why? Why is your employer entitled to any of your time outside of what you are contractually obligated to spend at work?

most people in these threads would do well to read up on existential responsibility and how that ties into accountability

looks like Rowe has accepted his Sisyphean role in the cosmic order of things

Because they are giving you the privilege of working for them, don't you want to reward their generosity? It's fine if you don't feel like doing it (but you have to do it).

Any recommended readings?

mike rowe is a big fan of the protestant work ethic and taking it in the ass

It isn't. It straight up tells you that you don't have to do any of this and can choose an easier life. The idea that someone actually has agency and chooses to do some hard/menial work for a chance at a better life is foreign to you because you've been fooled into thinking you don't have a chance.

the only people who wind up in expendable labour jobs are
>useless libarts grads
>complete retards
>people who have worked for a long time in an industry that got gutted.

and the last group NEVER accept or eat up what's put in front of them, because they know they can do better, and they're the ones that get shit on with trite 'well you're going to have to go back to college then Billy Bob, the world is changing and Huang Long can do your job for cheaper!"

I mean, I like Dirty Jobs, it's a fun watch.

Why do I care about what he does outside of his work?

Elon Musk shoveled coal for 14 an hour in the 80s. I have a lot of respect for him. His workers don't though.

existentialism and responsibility is specifically Sartre, an introductory primer of what's meant here can probably be glossed in his 'Existentialism and Humanism'

What about Camus?

He's a think lipped faggot.

Not an argument. Wtf is a think lip anyway?

*thin

>People are equal under the eyes of the law
But that clearly isn't true either.

In every job I've had there was at least one person who said he couldn't imagine living without work, and half of these people were above retirement age that stayed on. Pretty fucking sad that someone's life is so shallow you can only find fulfillment by doing menial labor.

Not at all. The tenth tenent is meant to be taken within the context of the first one. This wasn't written for starving, war-torn Africans.

What's going on here?

He came to the town i live in and bit off sheep testicles. He is a pretty cool guy.

All me :^)

Exactly this. At the end of the day, you have the final say when it comes to your safety, because your life means a hell of a lot more to you than it does to anybody else.

That being said, don't be a fucking pussy either

I can tell that most of the responders are here are either very young, or have never made more than a few bucks over minimum wage.

yeah I remember the days he sold his throat for bucko five

Finally somebody here with some fucking sense.

If there is any thread on Sup Forums that truly attracts the Redditors, it's this one. These threads feel like some Bernie subreddit with all the entitled whiners here

>tfw NEET patrician who watches Kino all day and makes art when i please


kek get fucked you dumb wagies

there's nothing admirable or honorable about being too fucking stupid to do something better with your life than some retarded job

How can you "choose an easier life" but also "choose to work menial labor for a chance at a better life"?

So have you signed the pledge?

Of course not Goy!

because an easier life isn't necessarily a better life you stupid fucking NEET. while you live in your mother's basement exerting no effort whatsoever in playing on your computer and microwaving your hot pockets actual men are working hard in order to provide for their wife and children. I don't think it's something you would understand.

How about do every job on Earth once? Thats a little bit cool. Also fuck all you virgin faggots, how is working as a marketer or in IT any better than what anyone else does? Stop looking down on people.

> Back to the popcorn mines, Quasimodo.

This made me laugh for some reason.

>actual cucks are working hard in order to provide for their wife's and bull's children

ftfy

>actual men are working hard in order to provide for their wife and children
Better life? Doesn't sound like it.

Projecting much?

I pledge to be poor forever and provide cheap labor for my masters.

I'm a 21 year old burger and only realized all this a year ago

How do I uncuck myself? I dropped out of college and only have $4,000 in loans left to pay off, and am currently a NEET. There's no way I'm wageslaving for my whole life, FUCK that.

>having a child when you're working class

Kek, fucking retard.

If this man is married, his wife is definitely sleeping with black men while he works his 22 hours a day.
