To be more proactive then I normally am. I am a care giver. Looking it up, I see a lot of entry level care jobs in my city that pay significantly more than my company. I even found one from my own company offering a lot more for an entry level “float” position. We are going to try to get all our coworkers to mass email management, asking for a raise. Linking these higher offers from other companies.

I will never forget this interview I had several years ago. I had been doing shitty social work jobs and I desperately wanted to get out of the field. So I was looking around for anyone that would take me. As some background, this was a period of really low self esteem for me because my job at the time had me working with someone I needed to help physically at the gym. He kept falling over during exercises and he'd yell at me, and it was complicated but I didn't mean to hurt him. It was just very hard for him to keep his balance and I can barely keep my own fucking balance. I was basically cornered into the job because NOBODY else wanted to do it. This guy would fall over and literally scream so loudly and the whole gym judged the shit out of me for…
I’m going to college soon and I’m wanting to try and find a decent job so I’ll be able to get an apartment after my first year in the dorms. I’m going to do the work program while in college, but I don’t know what to do when I graduate. I’ve considered possibly starting a YouTube/Twitch channel for awhile to see if I could possibly make money from it and avoid the anxieties/rude people/not great pay of retail. I’ve worked a few retail jobs before and don’t mind working one again, but if online streaming pays better then I think I’d want to do that instead. Any alternative ideas or tips are also welcome, such as businesses to avoid/consider, other jobs, etc. For anyone curious, I’m majoring in Computer Science looking for a career in Indie Game Development. I need to find something that’ll get my from point A to…
And to be honest? I fucking hate this job. But l hated every other job l've just as much if not more. And to be even more honest, l know deep down its wrong cause l don't know them and they aren't the reason my life sucks, but l cant help but sometimes resent all students who come in here who've never had to work, who dont have student loans, who have wealthy parents who afford then their every desire when my parents traumatized me then promptly disowned me to fend for myself at 18 in my first semester of college. Sometimes l want to scream. Tell them how lucky they are, tell then about how they get to go to the hospital or the therapist if they need to while l just have to hope no one calls an ambulance if l collapsed because l cant afford health insurance.…
I'm not sure if this morally aligns with this sub, and I'm not sure if this article is satire (it's from 2011). But it does bring up some interesting points. If millions of people max their debt and never pay it back, it could destroy our financial system. This is insane, but I understand the logic Doing this could wreck peoples lives, cause starvation, disease, and violence. But I'm not sure how else we can fix such a broken system I don't want to advocate for violence, or idealistic bullshit, it makes me feel gross (and maybe that's the whole point, the rich want to use our morals against us). But I just wonder if there is a realistic solution to all of this. I don't think we will be able to vote someone in that will radically change our system for at least another decade (am I wrong for…

I worked my first shift for an internship I am doing through my university. The internship is working as a stagehand at our Performing Arts Center, ideally getting experience working with audio equipment. I had a really good opportunity to shadow Alice Cooper’s crew during the show. I asked the Events Coordinator in advance for today, talked to the crew about it, and got the go ahead from everyone as long as the supervisor was fine with it. I go and talk to the supervisor, and he says “that’s a good idea, we can look at some opportunities for the future. We won’t keep you during the show today though”.
