This is from an outsider looking in, but, most functioning democracies have more than 2 parties. The American two party system makes it extremely easy to manipulate and control the public without actually accomplishing anything. Biden has been a weak ineffective president and ultimately doesn’t represent the working class, not to mention he’s kept none of his promises. How’s that $2000 dollar cheque, student loan forgiveness and 15 dollar minimum wage feel? But he’ll still run in the next election, and people will vote for him. Running a non-bias working class oriented candidate would help the United States so much, and this sub is one of the tools that could be used to start that. There are almost 2 million people on here fed up with things. If a real political movement got going you can count on me donating, because it would show the world, if America can fight…

I went from worrying about finding a job to worrying about which job offer to take. Within 3 days! At better pay than the job I just abruptly quit! And mind you, I have no specialized skills/experience. I'm just a detail-oriented, passionate, independent worker who is currently having a hypomanic episode so I probably seem an more confident in interviews than I actually am. Also mind you, I have a history of abruptly quitting every job I've ever had without a 2 week notice. I mean the time I spent at each is over a year, but still. I knew the job market was desperate but notthis desperate. I've been getting application requests for jobs that I have little to no experience in. And yes they're reall jobs, not scams. I mean, jobs that usually require you to have an associate degree and a year or 2 experience. You want…

I'm pretty upset, so forgive me in advance. In December, Honda Manufacturing's (yeah, that Honda) payroll system went down. For about a month, people just got paid for 40 hours, and if you worked overtime, you did not get paid and they said they'd give you your back pay when the system came back up. Keep in mind, this time period included a week's shut-down, where some people were forced to work the holidays with the knowledge they would receive another vacation day, as well as premium pay for working the holidays. In the middle of January, they were able to cobble together a system and began to pay people for the hours worked and said we would see the back pay by February 18. Then they said March. Now they are saying April, but no actual date. When I talked to HR, and said I needed that pay they…

To preface this was through a recruiter who approached me and passed along my current salary. After an introductory phone call with the industry recruiter who approached me I was set up for a video call interview with the CEO, CEO’s executive assistant, and another executive. Video call went great and I then was invited to take multiple online assessments. The assessments gauged intelligence, compatibility ratings, and few other areas. Got high marks on all and was invited for an in-office interview. The non-CEO exec was there again, along with am HR rep, and the location manager. This went better than the first interview and there were great feelings and vibes all around. Recruiter was excited and told me that the employer was definitely going to make it worth my while financially speaking if they decided to move forward. The next day they had the recruiter call me to proposed…

So I quit my job in early January because I was working as a writer, ghostwriting my misogynistic, racist, idiotic bosses book, and I had enough. I have never been somebody that prioritizes money and the money is fine because I have a savings and I don’t really care if I have to dig into it, but I just feel kind of… redundant? I know this capitalistic training and guilt that has been ingrained in me. But the feelings of not being in the “workforce” etc. makes me feel sort of…. useless, so i’m wondering how to quell these feelings! Any advice is appreciated.
