29 I’m sick of working for nothing! I worked at a grocery store for 3 years I was fulltime my take home pay for 40 hours a week was $360 what the fuck can I do with that? 360 times 4 =1,440 that’s just enough to pay rent where I’m from if you want to live in a shit apartment but it’s more if you want a nice place.. what about food? I have money for nothing else.. I worked every weekend I was in my early 20’s I wanted to go party in the city wanted to make new friends.. I’m at least 45 min from the city. My Store Director told me I can have a Saturday off once in a blue moon what the fuck is that? They fucking stole my youth! I walked out of the store right before Christmas after being transferred to a different store. I couldn’t stand my boss screaming at an elderly man who couldn’t speak English she didn’t try and communicate with him in a way he could understand just kept screaming in English. I thought to myself I’m not going to have a marry anything working for this bitch. I had a cigarette break and drove off never looking back.. that was 2017 I have had a few jobs since then but mostly worked as a grocery delivery person (Shipt) made my own hours still no weekends if I wanted to make much I had to work weekends. It was good during the lockdown but now it’s utterly worthless because of this shit economy everyone is doing it now so I can’t get any orders.. all these jobs pay nothing I can’t pay rent off $12 a hour.. so for this past year I have not worked I still live at home so I don’t have too. But I feel like a waste of space I want to work I want to have a life! I want a boyfriend I want brunch on the weekends and to party! But I can’t work these shit retail jobs what’s the point? I don’t have a GED I just need to complete math and I’m done and could start some program get a career no matter how long and how hard I study I can’t get it.. I’m sinking further and further into depression
How is America the most prosperous country in the world? I would be better off if my ancestors never left Europe..
