Month: April 2022

I just got laid off from my job. A job that I absolutely thrived in, progressed in, learned from and earned my fair pay, I felt appreciated by my whole crew and management. My mentors and corporate did everything in their empathetic teamwork support to keep me employed with them, same as every other co-worker alongside me. However, my ability to provide adequate housing, schooling and childcare as a single mother recently widowed, cut off from many social support resources because of my income increase and ex-in-law family abuse, I strived my god damn hardest to make the 4 hour total in daily commuting for everything, and it hit me like a ton of bricks only after 1.5 years of that exact routine of a rat race… My employer wasn't the problem, my work environment wasn't the problem, it was the fucking structural gates, the red tape that bars my…

I have a family dinner that I only just recently heard about, I called in for work 3 hours before my shift letting them know and I get told “do you think that's an acceptable reason to call off a shift on the day?” Like dude, yes I do think it's an acceptable reason and when you advertise the “at least two hours” method, I expect you to follow through with it and not try to guilt trip me. 🙂 Not to mention that I'm taking a shift on a Saturday even though I wasn't previously working that shift, so basically, it's just a fair trade of hours/inconvenience.

The other day, I was looking over my checking account at this bank. We will call it Cha-cha. The last few months, without any warning or to my knowledge, they were charging me $12 a month because I did not meet some fairly stringent requirements, like setting up direct deposit, having $1,500 or more at every second, or having more than $2,500. Leeching away like a parasite. Keep in mind that I have two other checking accounts at two different banks with no fees whatsoever. I first went to a bank teller, who was able to refund only one month out of so many. Very forgiving, huh? All of this upset me greatly, and I scheduled an appointment with a banker (because the bank made it very hard to close out an account any other way). I told the banker that I shouldn't be paying a subscription fee of $144…

Yeah, I’m a depressed college student working way too much as a bartender at a shitty country club. My parents are getting divorced and I’m in the middle of it. Would you like me to continue? Assholes
