To all the employers that can’t afford to pay their employees, just start making coffee at home and stop eating the avocado toast.

I think we should flip the script on how the media portrays Millennials and Gen Z. Business owners complaining they can’t afford to pay their employees $15 an hour or more are lazy and entitled. They deserve to close.

Why cant more able bodied 30 years olds make six figures?

I don't get it. Like if you are healthy and able you should be making a good income that can support yourself. I get it times are hard and prices of everything are going up BUT there are so many jobs out there that pay six figures. A lot of them are trades like electrician, IT's, plumbers etc. I get it not everyone likes these jobs, the fact remains these jobs exist and its your choice not to learn a trade that pays well.

Ask me , go head, ask me if I care, I got the answer here, I wrote it down somewhere, just gotta find it…(rest due to copy-paste) I'm getting bold in my old age So go ahead, try the door It doesn't matter anymore I know the weak hearted are strong willed And we are being kept alive Until we're killed He's up there The ice is clinking in his glass He sends me little pieces of paper I don't ask I just empty my pockets and wait. It's not fate It's just circumstance I don't fool myself with romance I just live … Phone number to phone number Dusting them against my thighs In the warmth of my pockets Which whisper history incessantly Asking me Where were you I lower my eyes Wishing I could cry more And care less, Yes it's true, I was trying to love someone…

How to get fired (yet be able to collect unemployment) but still be on good terms for future recommendations?

I'm a good worker, at a good job in a company that's doing very well. I am going to transition to somewhat of a stay at home dad with possible part time gigs in the future. It would be nice if these part time gigs could contact my boss and him to let them know that indeed I was a good employee.
