Never posted here before, but I saw a post where the OP was saying how they were unhappy thinking working a 9-5 for the rest of their life in America was their future and I wanted to make a kind of PSA post for people who might not be aware of other kinds of work opportunities Quick backstory My younger sister dropped out of college after her sophomore year. She was the “Straight A since kindergarten” kind of student. Was in an advanced program in Elementary school learning Latin, AP classes in HS, got a 35/36 on the ACT.

Got the ol bait and switch at a new job today.

Been working at this place for over 2 years and risking my life during the pandemic for them. I asked for a livable wage and a promotion after getting good reviews by managment. Instead they hired some new guy on my team a few weeks later after only being there a couple of months. Fuck them.
