Being Blocked for a Promotion

I like my job at the place I work. It is a contract job and I am trying to branch out and work with the company itself. I believe that my job site supervisor blocked me from getting hired on with the company because she wanted me to stay in the position I am to save her headaches. I have seen her do this to another person who works for another contracted company as well. I have stayed with the company because I love the shift, I am a lead and its not a hard job. However, I drive 40 minutes one way to work and they are beginning to put more restrictions. I was dressing business casual and now they want me to wear a uniform. ( I hate my company uniform)…. So with all of that being said, am I just being childish?

A mid-strike, politically meta D&D game is the most millenial shit I’ve seen all day, and I’m here for it.

The writers strike is still ongoing and the companies refusing to negotiate are getting cartoonishly evil atm For any College Humor fans, the DM was Brennan Lee Mulligan https://gizmodo.com/dnd-themed-picket-wga-sag-amptp-brennan-lee-mulligan-1850798483 At this point in our history, only 6% of the American workforce is represented by any kind of Union. The WGA has become one of the last lines of defense for the future of collective bargaining rights. Companies have been lobbying for the demise of unions since their inception and if this effort fails, then they will be dangerously close to succeeding.

Boss mocked me for living with parents.

Here's my background. I'm 31 and I graduated a few years ago and took my first “college educated” job. Even though I have been there almost two years, I still barely make enough to pay rent in my area, so since my parents are okay with me living at home, I do. My boss (the rich owner of this company) overheard me say that my favorite thing to do is to go home, eat dinner and watch TV and then he made a smartass comment about my “mommie fixing my food”. The d*ckhead has joked about me being skinny and quiet too. I would just love to tell him to f*ck off one day! Fuck you BL! Rant over.

How is anyone making ends meet in this economy?

My wife and I keep cutting back, and we're getting significant raises, but yet we keep going further and further in the hole every month. Restocking the fridge and freezer is now well over $500 a month. Mortgage is up, taxes are up, fuel is up. Pile home maintenance costs, transportation maintenance cost, credit card interest and student loan payments. We're both in 50k careers. We would need to make double what we're both making in order to actually pay down our debts and have enough money to live. How is this possible? How can two people working full-time salaried 40 to 70 hours a week, keep getting further and further behind despite cutting unnecessary spending? How in the fuck is this okay to anyone? It's getting to the point where I'm strongly considering criminal enterprise, despite the fact that we both work government related jobs. I'm exhausted, I'm frustrated,…
