To pay them less? That's so fucked up.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 32 minutes ago

Because dead men cant interrupt?

Dudes just wanna crack open a cold one.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Ugh. Take my upvote.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 96 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

so i guess it was a massive red flag when i asked them how many cameras were in the room during my interview

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 38 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No, but telling them about your Twitch channel was a bad idea.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

"Yes sir, I do onlyfans as a side gig."

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 43 points 5 hours ago (5 children)

I mean, honest question that I really do not want to google. Is this actually a wide spread problem?

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 45 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ok that ones on me, I should’ve caught that

[–] Janx@piefed.social 26 points 5 hours ago

Ok that ones on me

That's what the corpse said!

I had an ex who worked in this field, she went to mortuary school and worked in mortuaries, before that she worked in organ transplant. She went into the field because of a combination of personal tragedy (a close one passing away at an early age) and seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event.

Anyhow, she and I would talk about it often. One of the things she would note on, wasn’t that it was sexual based things men would do (besides general office sexism coming from men on occasion), but more about the level of respect they showed the deceased. Crude Comments they’d make about their weight, features etc…

So I think it just depends and it would be difficult to verify these other claims because the “victims” are deceased and most things related to it seem to be anecdotal.

I’m also not going to google necro in anyway

(Also yes, she was kinda emo/metal an had some pretty sick tattoos)

Shitty pay, crappy hours, being surrounded by the dead all the time... You either gotta love the job or end up loving the dead...

Some jobs need to be done, but who's to do them? Can one be completely sane and handle this kind of life without issue for years on end? Most of the people employed tell themselves it's just a job and spend their time dodging the reality of handling the dead all the time, but a few.. well.. they go all in.

Normal is a state of mind that has us come to grips with that which is beyond our control.

My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 11 points 4 hours ago

Let it be known, if it is too costly to shape my ashes into a spear and shoot it into the heart of the sun, or to build a statue of me Conan-posing on a throne of skulls surrounded by scantily-clad babes, just put me in a coffee can with some fireworks and light the fuse

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 7 points 4 hours ago

You know that Dr. Who meme? The one where the blonde woman asks "Is it a lot?"

Just think of it that way.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm guessing it's hard to come by reliable stats. It's on the same level as priests abusing children, the cover-up would be extensive. But, it's even harder, because the corpse can't testify in court, or make a YouTube video.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

I fucking hate humans.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 31 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

What exactly are the reasons?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 55 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Less pay, longer hours, and the hiring manager plans to sexually harass his workforce.

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 hours ago

Now that's believable

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 62 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Apparently they think women don't wanna fuck corpses. But I am pretty sure the people that go into that industry are probably cut from the same cloth

[–] Soulg@ani.social 34 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If that's actually the reason then I must be doing pretty good mentally because it would've taken me a while to think of that, not a "we all know because it's obvious" tier thing

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Shit post indeed.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

It's mechanically difficult for women to do it since corpses don't have blood flow. Much more creativity needed.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 49 minutes ago

Don't they have machines for pumping fluids through veins? Seems like that would be useful in that situation...

[–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 13 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Oh hey, that reminds me of Karen Greenlee

nsfw

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 hours ago

you'd have to be there I guess

I would prefer not thanks Karen

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Cool, can I unread that now

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Sorry, now you'll inadvertently think of it every time you see a morgue. Have fun!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I had already forgotten

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

inflate it with an air pump

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Or, tie it off and inject it with saline. More, um, life-like that way.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

They could have girldick, you dunno.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Except when theyre not, get traumatized, and become an amazing lead vocalist for a world famous nü metal band...

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly, no idea what's the reason

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 34 minutes ago

at a population level, men fuck everything, including corpses

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 9 points 3 hours ago

A father takes his five year old to the high school principal and says that he'd like to enroll him. The principal says that little John is goign to have to prove he can handle the work. Principal writes an algebra problem and shows it to the lad. John answers it without using a pencil. He asks some history and political questions. John nails them all.

Turns to the father. "This last question is to see if he has the emotional maturity we expect of our students.

"Johnny, what's a four letter word that ends in U-N-T and means a woman?"

"Aunt."

"Congratulations. Johnny can come to high school."

As they walk home, dad says to Johnny, "I'm so proud of you. I know I would have messed up that last question"

Reminds me of the old Tom Lehrer joke:

"...a story about a young necrophiliac who finally achieves his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner.

... The rest of you can look it up when you get home."

[–] Eczpurt@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

A woman surrounded by stiffs, anything could happen.
