But the boxes were taken to the dumpster, yes? With time saved, even? Someone in a managerial position would rather hire, train, and pay a devoted garbage person instead of three adorably unpaid raccoons?

I see no problems
Until the raccoons unionize and demand healthcare coverage instead of just table scraps.
Train another raccoon to bust unions
Impossible, raccoon class consciousness is too strong.
Raccoons aren't a protected class and I will continue to exploit their lack of rights u til such time as they garner enough support to be represented in the government and change the laws.
20XX: The Raccoon Rebellions reach their peak. Multiple systems are in turmoil as the conflict rages. New fronts emerge everyday as guerilla factions splinter. Bodies litter the streets like piles of... trash. There is no end in sight.
Pretty sure 20XX is full of robots and randomly generated stages 🤔
Maybe it's the raccoons that make the robots?

Darcy the human wants healthcare. Trained trash pandas want apples. Why are we even discussing this?

is this a Lemmy post of an Instagram post of a Reddit post?
Yes, it's very meta.
We have to go deeper. Im posting this to 4chan.
It's gonna end up on Facebook next
Not Trash Pandas. Waste Management Pandas.
Waste Management Engineers= Waste Management Pandas
~~Waste Management~~ (Engineers) / ~~Waste Management~~ = ~~Waste Management~~ (Pandas) / ~~Waste Management~~
Engineers = Pandas

Checks out.
If someone can successfully train racoons to do their job I'd probably give them a raise and some deodorant
Under capitalism they would be fired and the raccoons made to replace them for no pay.
No joke there are tons of stories of people writing programs to automate their job, management finding out, and basically getting fired while the company appropriates their automation code, since from their profit chasing perspective why should they pay someone if they can just take the code they wrote which will do the same thing for free?
Which is why you always implement a dead man's switch that you can turn off if you leave the job amicably. And never leave your source code behind if you can avoid it.
The dead man switch at one of my last places was the companies incompetence and lack of forethought.
When I left, I told them that the files for their system that I designed, built, and maintained was on the laptop I was returning to them.
They wiped it.
They also had zero clue how to use the programs I had nor any other aspect of that system so they really shot themselves in the foot then shot their other one to test of the first one hurt
Then they'll get their lawyers involved to fuck you over. Since you probably coded it on company time with company equipment, they own everything and can sue you if you put booby traps in it. Hell there have been contracts in tech that say that everything you code while employed, regardless of whether it's related to the business or not, they can claim, whether that extent is enforcible is another question but just the mere fact that plenty of companies are brazen enough to try that shit speaks for how much they expect to get away with, and they're probably right.
Individuals rarely win against businesses as a design feature of capitalist society.
Well then at the very least do what I did: put in the code an Easter Egg that wishes you a happy birthday on your birthday in the copyright blurb at the bottom of the intranet page.
The entire premise is fake, but that stupid fake manager is still driving up my blood pressure.
Look if you can get Raccoons to do your work for you, it should be an instant promotion to manager.
acivement unlocked: Manager of Racoons
Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.
It comes with raccoon henchmen. Which is better.
Is noone going to comment on how someone trained a bunch of animals to help with cleaning? They were more than an employee, they were a Disney Princess!
Or Fluttershy:
How difficult would it be to teach raccoons to manage IT infrastructure?
Asking for a friend.
They keep trying to wash the server
Corporate only doesn't want the raccoons trained because then they might have to pay them.
It can be worse - they might start raccoon union
Racoonion
I don't see an issue here. 🤷
Just looks like working smarter, not harder to me.
If the job is done, where is the problem?
Miserer should put people into misery. Miserers are not happy when someone is not miserable.
Necessity breeds innovation.

We had a raccoon living in our attic. I would have liked to train it to take the trash to the curb, but instead it just peed on the floor until a stain came through to the other side.
I hope he was paying those raccoons a fair wage! outsourced work is often done in unethical ways!
In my old condo you didn't really put the trash bag in the dumpster. The raccoons were waiting on the dumpster and you'd hand the bag to them basically.
