Kudos to the people who actually adhered to the "unique" part of this. No, you're not unusual for hating money men. It's only a matter of time until someone posts "cops".
The entire entertainment industry is gross and depressing seen from anywhere close to the inside, but I'm not sure I'd really say I oppose it in concept.
"unique" doesn't necessarily mean you and only you uniquely hate the occupation. Your hatred for that profession might be unique among the professions you hate. It's not really specified what OP meant by the question.
Off-topic: Lemmy really needs better crosspost functionality.
Lemmy is a small group of people, let's not divide it further by having the exact same conversation in two (or more) places.
edit: Fixed the link.
no, it's a feature, not a bug, that we can have more than one community for discussing the same topic here; makes it harder to censor
The wording of this question has a very narrow permitted window for an answer, but I'll say fuck "influencers" anyway. Entire concept should be rolled back like 20 years. Disc jockeys and similar precursors weren't quite so prone to being narcissistic kiddie creepers that were famous for being famous.

Recruiters.
100 percent agree. Recruiters are a waste of oxygen. Back when I was in school I attended this massive recruiting meet and greet. Head hunters from the largest firms in the area attended and talked with the students about career prospects. A recruiter from a big firm was there bragging about her arbitrary strict screening process for resumes. This Karen, a failed elementary school teacher, gloated about how she required a full page cover letter, and a full page resume. There could not be any blank space. She would measure the margins and if not exactly I inch she would throw the applicant in the reject pile. The cover letter would have to be a full page long. If any length less than 1 full page straight to reject pile. However she stated would never actually read the cover letter.
A week later I attended a Q and A with several partners from the biggest firms in the area. They all talked about how they hated absolutely HATED cover letters and bloated resumes. All they looked for was prior experience, grade point average, and whether the applicant is licensed or not. Funny enough the partner from the same firm as the Karen recruiter had a 2 minute rant on why he hated cover letters.
ACAB.
Realtors.
I don't know of a job more pointless. And I worked (reception) at a realty office and still didn't see the value.
Seems useful to me. If I'm selling my house I don't want to spend a bunch of my own time setting up all the showings and being there for each one. And if I have to trust someone else to do it, they should be licensed and trackable in case something goes wrong.
It does seem like a job that attracts lazy people though, and it also seems like there are way too many agents in general.
Middle manager.
At least in my current job. There are nice AND useful ones out there, but in my dept., there's positively neither.
The "management" should be seen as positions to help the employees to do their work properly, not to rule over them (but helping would necesarily need to include some level of reviewing the work and if really necesary organize disciplinary measures).
From my personal experience I defintly conclude that a company where the management serves the employees get better results than companies where managment are little wannabee generals.
(I am also currently middle management and hope I do this right.)
Plenty, lobbyists, health insurance industry, and advertisers would be a few off top of my head.
