Pros

The pros are decent. The pay is actually solid for garbage work, the benefits are ridiculous, and the trash bags are top-tier, thick, lavender scented, basically executive garbage. I get all the free Red Bull I can stomach from the micro kitchens I empty, and job security is bulletproof. With the amount of waste these employees generate, I’ll have a job long after the AI apocalypse.

Cons

But the cons are overwhelming. The “smart” trash compactors are smarter than half the product managers yet still jam every Tuesday because someone tried shoving a 27" monitor in there. Leadership loves preaching sustainability initiatives while ordering 400 catered lunches a day that get immediately thrown away. I’m not collecting garbage anymore, I’m hauling performative ESG theater in Hefty bags. And don’t even get me started on the smell near Building 99 after a big Windows release. It’s spiritual.
