Ok so I did the thing we were all kind of conditioned to do right…..good grades= good college=good school=good job…….. the good job part never actually worked. The real world does not give AF wether I have my bachelors or not. All they care about is experience and I can't get that experience if they all want more. All I know is factory work, which is cool if thats for you, but its not for me. Especially when you're underpaid. So… I'm making a fake resume, attuned to the position I want to be in. Any tips? Things I should know? For the ones that have actually done this before and it worked, why do you think it worked? Basically how do I not get caught? Btw. My Bachelors is in Biotech.

I work for a -MAJOR- US based electronics retailer as a national call representative. I have worked there for some time, but today was my first day doing phone calls because they outsourced my chat service position to India. I had some questions about some of the finer details of my job and found out that I will be negatively impacted on my job performance for going to the restroom at any time other that my designated break time. I also found out that I will be negatively impacted if I do no take my break at exactly the correct time, I will be penalized. With possible “corrective actions taken” There is no way to stop the incoming calls before my breaks. Due to the nature of calls, its damn near impossible to take your breaks at the exact time that you are assigned. I don't know about y'all, but…

I am down with the cause here on this sub. Have been lurking for a long time. But nothing on earth has ever made me feel like more of a child than one particular theme I have seen on this subreddit….. I've gotten full-body excited for every pizza party I've ever been “granted” in my 14 years in the work force….. Might be time for me to grow up lol

I cant help but wonder what would happen if we did get into WW3. Our retail bosses would still expect us to come in, there still wouldn't be any reason to call off work, and we'd still have to smile in the face of every customer. Managers would be working round the clock because THEIR managers would be yelling to get back to work. Through WW3, capitalism would still want all the peons to go to work. It just boggles the mind.

What do you think is a livable wage? I was talking to my bf and he thought $10 an hr I think that’s pretty low. What do you think?

Hey yall, just wondering. Did any of you ever been able to flip the horrendous 80-20 of job/actual life, to the van life with remote work or passive income? How did tou go about building that lifestyle, from a work/revenue point of view (as I’m aware this is not a work alt sub, nor a vanlife sub lol) Cheers yall, and keep standing up for yourself in the work place!
