I (26m) got laid off from my corporate job a couple months ago, haven’t been able to find a new job, either companies are closing their vacancies or the talent pool is ultra competitive. Ive tried applying to odd jobs at the mall or server positions but the only feedback I’ve gotten from those is that i’m too overqualified to work minimum wage (i have a Masters degree). As a result I’ve started doing Uber and Instacart to help pay the bills and holy shit, the people who I’ve helped are FUCKING ASSHOLES. People constantly bait deliveries with good tips and then change at the last minute to stiff you. I litteraly just spend 4 hours doing a single instacart order that totaled just over 600 dollars and with Tip and delivery fee i only made $17 dollars (they left a $10 or ~1.5% tip). I’m about to have a breakdown. My wife is working two jobs and I cant find anyway to bring home even close to a living wage. The only reason we haven’t been evicted or have our utilities shut off is the assistance of my wife and I’s parents (which i absolutely dread taking their hard earned money while I can’t find a job). In closing, fuck the economy, fuck uber, fuck instacart and fuck my life -.-.
