jack of all trades

master to none

often times better

than master to one

All of my bosses that make 5x my salary are masters of one. They are so extremely good at what they do but absolutely nothing else, to a crazy extent. I feel like I'm good at a lot of things but it's not as lucrative to be this way :/

[-] 11181514@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

You have multiple bosses that make 5 times your salary? The fuck do you do for work?

Lmao it's more just that I don't make very much at all so it's easier for them to make that many times more than my salary. I'm in biotech

As an example I had to show my boss recently to use Windex because they were getting ready to use dishwasher detergent to clean a glass window. It's great.

Yeah see someone who makes decisions like that definitely isn't making good enough decisions at their job to be getting paid 5x more than you.

Why did you correct them? With that much of a wage gap, you should have popped popcorn to share with the other wage slaves while you watched him try to figure out how to fix what he just did.

[-] Doxatek@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

I didn't want to have to fix it haha

[-] Adalast@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Unless it is something you had fixed before or proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you knew how to fix, you are a biotech engineer. Last time I checked Dawn wasn't a biological entity and the tech angle is suspect at best.

Lmao that's great I should do this. Feign ignorance of absolutely everything aside from my bench work

[-] Adalast@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It is what you were hired to do, isn't it?

i think that the slight linguistic change from "master of none" -> genitive case turned into the "master to none" which dithers over to the accusative and dative cases is more active and hence a change to a proverb but on purpose to illustrate something greater about seeking rather than attaining.

I think I love you in a purely plutonic way. That was a spectacular expounding on the linguistic relevance and morphology of the statement as it borders on the philosophical underpinnings. Thank you for that.
