I have severe ptsd and was recently at a job and family service building to get help with my resume and help finding a job that’s accommodating. The employee went on this rant to me about how “there’s no job shortage, there’s plenty of jobs out there, people just don’t want to work anymore because now they can just live off government assistance.”
How? What does she mean?
I couldn’t get disability benefits having PTSD. My uncle had recurring seizures and couldn’t get it either. He was homeless and died in his sleep. From a seizure. Who are these able bodied “lazy” people who can just sign up for unemployment or disability benefits and live the cushy life for good? Where tf are they at? I don’t get it anymore. At my last job, customers would say that to me all the time. They’d congratulate me for working because “you know no one likes to do that anymore.” I heard that constantly. Congrats to you, for actually working and not living off the government. What am I missing? How do I live off the government if I choose to? What’s going on? Genuinely. I ask here because you guys talk most about the work culture in society right now.
