"I understand people using services like that as a way to cope. And that’s something I sorta get. But we recently learned that my grandma was paying this psychic in California monthly fee for her consultation. One of the notes said that she should avoid talking to her families for her problems. You know, trying to make my grandma dependent on the psychic."

"Insurance companies fighting to NOT pay."

"Anyone who becomes richer by making the world a dumber, angrier place. Pundits, talk radio hosts, and some of the biggest podcasters are among the most soulless jackholes I'm aware of."

"This might get buried, but any home shopping network like QVC or HSN. I worked for HSN for awhile some years ago and the amount of old people that had no clue what they were buying that I had to scam because it was my “job” is insane.

I had one of the nicest old people call me and just want to chat and then ordered the “item of the day” and proceed to tell me that she had like 10 of them in her back room completely unopened but she couldn’t pass up this deal.

I had another lady that wanted to apply for the credit card because her daughter took away all of her cards because she was broke and couldn’t pay her bills.

I couldn’t say no. I had to do it or get wrote up. I ended up developing a bit of a nervous tick from it (that I still battle with to this day) and finally just ended up quitting the day after I burned all my vacation hours because my mental health wasn’t worth that.

Seriously. F*ck shopping networks that prey on old people. They justify it as if they’re providing a service. Disgusting."

"Unethical Profession?

Health Insurance adjuster.

Your entire job is to deny someone's medical claim under the false pretenses of preventing "Fraud".

He's the issue... You know what fraud is. Fraud comes from a doctor who is unlicensed or has a pattern of abuse...

It is not from someone who went to the ER and needed an MRI to confirm everything was okay... But now you're going to charge the patient for the MRI because it didn't find anything.

Sorry, but these people have no ethics and are the reason why US healthcare is so terrible."

"Nobodies saying companies that buy up housing. They either jack the price up of an entire area because they own all of it or rent them out at unlivable prices.

It's the filthiest way to make yourself rich, you'd have to be void of empathy or any emotion that makes you human."

"Those people that try to sell alternative medicine. I’m talking about people who sell beads or stones or “cream of grass root” or something made up to treat stuff like cancer or strokes or something. Literally just a scam to make money with no science behind it."

"Megachurch Preacher."

"Mortgage companies. My mother had this fear of their house being taken away. So, in the 30 years that they paid on their house she kept the cancelled checks year after year. The lender changed several times thru the years, but she plodded on keeping shoe boxes with every single check. Sure enough a month or so before the last payment the current lender came up with some BS that they had LOTS of missing payments - that allowed them to charge a butt load of late fees etc that would have to be paid before they could release the deed. Thousands of dollars. She pulled out her shoe boxes, copied all the canceled checks in question and shut them down. People this is a common scam. If you do bank direct payments, do you really think that they are going to actually give you 30 years of proof that you paid?? Beware. Old school might be the best way."

"Apparently you can get a degree for medical billing and coding. Side note - one of my regions largest mental health care providers just closed down all its services to cut costs.

Medicine shouldn’t be run for profit - it’s a service, like the post office or public education."

"Pharmacy benefit managers. They are completely uneeded useless middlemen that significantly jack up the prices of medicine to line their pockets. People die because of them."

"I know someone who works for a drug company and his job is to set prices and maximize profits. the next time you see a news story about the overpricing of drugs (like insulin) that lead to a patient dying just remember, that’s someones job to set that price high."

"Not necessarily the worst I've seen on here, but I think standardized testing companies, like Pearson education, are fairly unethical. You're charging students for a test that is already a rather poor predictor of actual academic success but is required to progress in higher education because you've sold university admissions on this test. Then you sell test takers expensive test prep materials to help them perform better by learning to the test and become better test takers, rather than helping them build real skills. In the end you've basically just put another financial barrier in the way of those pursuing higher education."

"MLMs for sure. They prey on the poor and desperate."

"Most of these are criminal or borderline criminal professions. Here’s the most unethical legal job: medical insurance executive."
