People who's roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts. However, there's a class of people that do nothing. They're often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there's often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don't want to say it's everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It's also not limited to them.

Anyone who makes more than 10 million a year or more is definitely not a good person and not to be trusted. The cut off number could probably be lower but I feel confident in saying 10 million. So I'm going with that. You can't make that much without "stealing" it from many others. Exploitation. (I'm not talking about a company that makes 10 million, I'm referring to an individual that does. There are some exceptions for celebrities and athletes).

Data brokers, easily. Also, bill collectors are one of the stereotypical scummy occupations alongside door-to-door sales and buy-here-pay-here car lots.

Game publisher executive. Like the people who run EA, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. All inclusive, I don't think there are any good ones. They're all working to drive prices up, wages down, and creativity? These people don't give two shits about the games. They are not gamers. They see gamers as useful to keep their profits high and that's it. Support indie game developers whenever you can. Stardew Valley is a game I've tried very hard to like, not because I bought it twice, but because one guy made it and has supported it faithfully for ten years, and he genuinely cares about the experience. It's just not the kind of game I like. I should — I play Animal Crossing. But Stardew Valley is based on Harvest Moon (another Nintendo game), but way more advanced. I think Animal Crossing was also inspired by Harvest Moon, but it's the dumbed down version for kids. (It's also post-apocalyptic, if you read between the lines! So that's awesome.) But nah, I don't like the game, but I love the developer's passion for it, and I plan to buy his next game straight away. I think I will like it ("Haunted Chocolatier") a little more, since it's less farming and more questing, but instead of farming, it's shop keeping.

In the US, health insurer. Then you go down several orders of magnitude and you'll find ones like politician, landlord, arms dealer, etc.

I can't imagine applying to work for HR personally. I've never liked an HR person. I'm not even someone that gets called up by HR I just see how they work and hate it.

The last used car salesman I interacted with was great, he really went out of his way to secure the deal and gave excellent service. I'd trust him over any politician
