Assume you rented a house for $2,000 a month. You own the home and it is completely paid off. You also live in another house that is also paid off. Would you quit your job (most likely a higher salary and benefits) to enjoy life and never work again for some money to survive? I would assume a very frugal life. Note: I don't own a home but I would like to.

After a longtime of working in food service (about a 5 years, 24m) and leaving for 2 years, I tried to find different careers with not much success expect a carpet cleaning company for almost a year, that didn’t work out, left in April this year 2023. being unemployed as I type this and with more then 100 applications in the last 14 days sent in w/ 2 interviews in that time, I have to resort back to old habits and return to the work I so hated. I mean it’s quick money but it’s so incredibly hard to land anything outside my experience it’s so discouraging. nobody emailing or calling or contacting me in any way is that normal ?

Illegal as in not hiring someone due to pregnancy is considered discrimination; however, in the U.S., there are “at no fault” states, which means the employer can fire you at any time for any reason,, and the employeee can quit at any time for any reason. It really amps the anxiety. Correct me at all about any of this I get incorrect; I am personally only able to refer to Georgia and Virginia, and only retail positions, which are.. horrible.

I have a boss who joined our team almost a year ago and he does this thing where he asks the team rapid questions as if he's some sort of teacher and we're students, but he's dumb as a bag of rocks and gets offended anytime you ask him for the answer even if you know it.

Answering a question with a question directed back to me or a crew member is not leadership. Any suggestions?
