I am in my "50 years old and working a shitty remote job as an expat because I just don't give a fuck anymore" phase. I answer emails from clients regarding financial matters. Very boring stuff. There's no community here for it, and thank Jeebus for that. Honestly, AI could do my job (and it often does, but don't tell my boss).

Auto Insurance. I mean, I'm sure there's a community around hating it. π
Indeed ha ha
Event planner. Started as a technician, running lights and/or sound for events. Concerts, dance shows, musicals, corporate sales events, etcβ¦ Eventually fell into the admin and planning side of things, because freelancing isnβt a viable retirement strategy.
No, I doubt Iβll ever see a community here. But thatβs alright; If I wanted to talk about work, Iβd talk to coworkers.
Medical Device Quality Manager... I doubt I will ever see a community here about my field and I'm quite happy about that π I'm here to escape work not read up on it
I'm an environmental health officer, formerly a food technologist. I inspect food businesses (home businesses all the way up to big manufacturers), childcare facilities, hospitals, accommodation (hotels, motels, aged care, rooming houses), beauty businesses (nails, tattoo, waxing, etc), recreational water (pools, beaches, lakes, etc), wastewater systems.
I investigate complaints regarding any of the above, pests, environmental pollution (dust, noise, nuisance complaints), secondary impact assessments (after a major incident like fire, flood, earthquake), food borne illnesses, communicable diseases, food recalls.
Not an inclusive list. We are on the prevention side rather than the reactive side like nurses and doctors, so we tend to go unnoticed.
I don't think there's an active community anywhere for EHOs. Anyone know of any? I follow some food communities, but that's it. I don't get involved with people arguing about food safety on the internet because there are some people whose minds can't be changed.
Edit: Sorry, this came out way longer than I expected. Still in bed, haven't had coffee yet, still kind of groggy.. But it's the weekend.
Anyone know of any?
I don't think there's any indeed, maybe at some point when we get a larger userbase. You might be the only person in the platform working in that field
We are a rare breed for sure. Always happy to discuss any topics related to my job any time, but not argue or try to convince people they're going to get someone sick. I do that enough during work hours.
That makes sense!
I do science in genomics, bioinformatics, fungi, and plants. Im not sure if there are specific communities
Project Manager for a silicon photonics company. I havenβt really looked for an active community on Lemmy yet for project management. I was on the Reddit sub for PMs which actually had great discussions sometimes.
I drive trains for a living. Freight trains. Locomotive engineer.
Ditto. Can't seem to find the Lemmy r/railroading equivalent yet.
They missed a prime opportunity to call it /r/ailroading instead
I just had a look, no very active general community, the UK and French one seem quite active
Well, there is also a difference between railroad employee communities and a railfan community. Big difference. Thanks for looking.
Oh definitely. I was just pointing those out as you may have some luck asking over there is there are other railroad employees
I am a scientist. Quite a few around here.
Office Admin for Post Secondary. There is no office admin community, and there's an academia community
Bartender, no community that I'm aware of but it's a tradition to visit the cocktail communities and laugh/ rage at the the pretentious cocktail snobs there.
I'm a bicycle mechanic. Most of us are technophobic so i doubt there's another one
I am an exercise physiologist. There is no active community on reddit, so even less on lemmy. If you know some rehabilitation or physical exercise subs I'll be happy to join them ! :)
Very nice! You wouldn't happen to have any tips to help me recover from thoracic outlet syndrome, would you? π
I'm currently working in cardiology so it's a little bit out of my scope. π¬ It doesn't seem to be well studied but you can find some informations here. Have you ever consulted a physiotherapist ? They are more specialized in pain management than exercise physiologists.
Hey thanks for the reply! Yes, I've met with my primary care provider and been taking corticosteroids for inflammation which seems to be dramatically helping. I guess I was wondering about stretching vs non-stretching and if you had any knowledge of it, but no worries either way- it is healing!
I hope you will heal soon ! The litterature recommand stretching and progressive resistance training of the muscle groups involved in the movements that limit you. π
Industrial steam industry. If there's another boilermaker on here I haven't met them.
I work as a Bartender/server in a fine dining setting. There seem to be a few of us lurking around. The cocktail community has a little action. But nothing huge yet.
