Just want work.

This is more of a vent post. I lost my job a few months ago. I have been applying everywhere in my town. Had multiple interviews, but no job offers. It’s getting to the point that they don’t look at my resume. I have all the qualifications for the job, but that job goes to someone with none. Why because they know someone. It’s so frustrating for me and I just don’t know what to do. Or what I am doing wrong. All my experience just feels useless.

I AM SO MAD GODDAMN IT.

SO I (21) STARTED WORKING FOR A VERY POPULAR FAST FOOD CHAIN A MONTH AGO. THE PAY IS ACTUALLY DECENT COMPARED TO MY LAST 2 JOBS LOL. AND ITS NOT AS TOXIC. I AM VENTING OUT MY FRUSTRATIONS ABOUT THIS SO DON'T TAKE IT *THAT* SERIOUS. SO I WORK PART TIME. WHICH IS FINE. IN A PERFECT WORLD I WOULD WORK AT MAX 30 HOURS. IM WORKING 15-25 RN WHICH IS OK. BUT I CHECKED MY SCHEDULE THIS WEEK AND I AM ONLY WORKING 5 HOURS. 5 HOURS. ONE DAY A WEEK. 5 HOURS. ​ AND IM JUST WONDERING….THIS CANT BE LEGAL….THIS CANT BE ETHICAL. BUT IT IS. LIKE I KNOW WE ARE AGAINST WORK IN THIS SUBREDDIT BUT I AM JUST POINTING OUT THE ABSURDITY OF THESE DAMN CORPORATIONS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE A STAFF OF ABOUT 150 PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. ALL OF US WHO HAVE FAMILIES…

god bless sick pay

ive been taking liberties with sick pay. i call in sick at least once a week. i didn't go to work all last week because im sick of being a minority at work and having to deal with incels and rich people in a customer service role. im too good for this job im sorry, no job is lower than me or above me but i have to be too good for this specific place. they cant believe i have a fucking mind of my own. they might call me in for disciplinary soon but im actually feeling better in life rn for the first time in a while so why would i subject myself to shit tomorrow? it makes me sick being there. sick to my fucking stomach.

In BC Canada is mandatory training courses before work begins supposed to be paid? I just got hired at a new job and was given around 6 hours of safety / environmental training courses, “before work begins” nothing was mentioned about being paid.
