If someone can successfully train racoons to do their job I'd probably give them a raise and some deodorant
118Under capitalism they would be fired and the raccoons made to replace them for no pay.
No joke there are tons of stories of people writing programs to automate their job, management finding out, and basically getting fired while the company appropriates their automation code, since from their profit chasing perspective why should they pay someone if they can just take the code they wrote which will do the same thing for free?

Is noone going to comment on how someone trained a bunch of animals to help with cleaning? They were more than an employee, they were a Disney Princess!
41How difficult would it be to teach raccoons to manage IT infrastructure?
Asking for a friend.

Corporate only doesn't want the raccoons trained because then they might have to pay them.
31It can be worse - they might start raccoon union

If the job is done, where is the problem?
26Sounds like staff is gonna train the racoons
You get work done for you, they get trash. Win/win

We had a raccoon living in our attic. I would have liked to train it to take the trash to the curb, but instead it just peed on the floor until a stain came through to the other side.
14I hope he was paying those raccoons a fair wage! outsourced work is often done in unethical ways!
11In my old condo you didn't really put the trash bag in the dumpster. The raccoons were waiting on the dumpster and you'd hand the bag to them basically.

7But the boxes were taken to the dumpster, yes? With time saved, even? Someone in a managerial position would rather hire, train, and pay a devoted garbage person instead of three adorably unpaid raccoons?
