Feeling sad about this
Saw a woman on the side of the road yesterday with a sign that read “working but still struggling to feed my kids. Anything helps” and I live in a state with great benefits (or so I thought). It sucks that someone who works full time cannot feed their family.

Sharing to Help Others
I know this is gonna seem like an advertisement or something but please hear me out. I quit working typical jobs back in 2020. My employers up until then had ranged from awful to okay at best. My very first job at 16 was at a shop that was shut down due to the owner stealing credit card info, next I was verbally abused by my employer, next got shut down due to accusations of the employees being transphobic (we definitely were not), and the last was at a local humane society where I just lost my faith in humanity. I started as a freelance writer and made that work until about a month ago. It was great until they started to try and micromanage me, an underpaid contract worker, so I quit.

Money can’t buy happiness – Andrew Tate
I’m 16 years old, and have spent my entire summer break working. I also struggle with seasonal depression. Every time I go to work I don’t know why I keep going back. I live in a small town so it’s the only job available. My mental health has recently taken on more physical symptoms and I’m just exhausted and pissed off that I don’t have any other options. I work too often, am underpaid, and I don’t want to do this for the next 70 years of my life.
My boss said in my review that my strength is that “when you walk into a room people think that wow you’re a lovely person”. What does this even mean? I came here to discuss my job performance – this has nothing to do with how I’m doing my job. Is this acceptable feedback?

Another Company Ghosting
Last week I got an email saying a company I applied at asking me to schedule my availability for an interview this week. I blocked out some time on Monday. Never heard another word and my scheduled time has passed. Guess they really aren't that interested in interviewing me after all.
