TL;DR, Blatant attempt at nepotism backfires instantly As the title implies, my wife got terminated at 1:00pm Central daylight time. She was a store manager for a beauty supply chain I will not name; so let's call them Salimeh Beauty. They claimed that she was stealing time when she corrected hers and her employees missed time clock punches. You know, that totally normal thing that every US based company in existence has practiced for the better part of 40 years? So let me give you some background on my wife. She has been a manager at this company for 3 years. In that time she has successfully taken bottom 10 stores and made them number one; basically overnight. She has never gotten so much as a verbal, has never taken a vacation, has run multiple stores at once as a direct manager, and has trained probably the better part of…

I'll try to keep it short, as I don't feel like typing all this shit( still gonna type mad shit but why use many word when few work). So I'm going green text format to make it copesetic.

I remember one in particular, a budget watchdog non-profit. I was enrolled in a phd program doing advanced stats, had many years of relevant experience, lived in NYC and had a kid. Asked for $80k. You’d have thought I took my pants off in the meeting. I could see on their faces how completely out of line I was to ask for what my friend called grown up money. Fuck corporations, but double fuck non-profits and their wealthy exploitative funders.-

I want to first say that i am in favor of unions and have been doing research into them for my industry (trucking). But the other day i had an encounter with a union worker that left a sour taste in my mouth. I understand that damn near everyone is overworked and underpaid, and i dont know this person or her pay rate, how her day had been, nothing. But there were about 10 trucks in front of myself that needed paperwork signed out on, copied and then given to the drivers before they could leave. Waiting is part of my job and i understand that, but when someone came in that had been there for three hours and asked when the paperwork would be ready, and the person im speaking of says in the most rudest, condescending attitude “it will be ready when i feel like it”…. It leaves…

Im in a predicament I cant find work that i feel is worth doing (not serving some apathetic money grubbing manager that cares more about appearances than actual societal effects while convincing themselves they do care by seeing all the happy customers with smiles plastered on their faces or simply ignoring immorality as a necessary expense to justify the ends) But i cant afford rent, my parents refuse to house me, and i cant afford to be homeless when i need medications for my gender. Basically, im tied to the system with no way out, if i want to live as myself. Sounds pathetic, kindof is. But the system is cold and only pretends to care, if you can pay. They can feel they actually care but deep down they know theyre partially lying to themselves, if theyre even aware and self reflective enough of this. And lying to yourself…

This happened about two week ago, I didn't think it would work well here but lets give it a shot. I am a college student and I have been working through a temp agency throughout most of my college career. About six months into a company they decided to hire me on however a contingency for the hiring process is a nicotine test. The drug test I was assuming about three weeks to a month away so I was thinking I can quit my e-cigarette addiction in that amount of time. Just mentioned to my supervisor that I currently smoke e-cigarettes but I will quit since it will be tested. A week prior to them hiring me in they fired me, after I went through a type of hell trying to quit smoking e-cigarettes. They said there can be no nicotine, gum patches etc.. And i was just sitting there…
