Talk some sense into me, because I know I’m being stupid.

I just got let go after working 2 days at a new job. The entire 2 days, I was finding out unsavory things out about the company and work environment. As well as things they expected of me that were never mentioned during the interview process. Those 2 days all I thought was; Wow, I made a huge mistake taking this over the other position I was offered at another company… Well, there was 'miscommunication' with my pay scale, and after I told them what I expected and that I would not accept the pay they are trying to push on me, they fired me on the spot. And I feel shitty about it! Even though I was realizing working for this company was a huge mistake. Not only that, by some miracle, I happened to get a job offer from a VERY good company/organization, with better pay by a…

might be getting let go from my current new job

I don't even know why this is bothering me, I don't even like this cheap assed paying job which has me super stressed out. I am currently in training…LOL! It's only been a week, I feel that I am slowly starting to get the hang of the job functions, which is quite a lot to handle, but I am having some major issues with how they operate. Number one, I can't take a scheduled meal break when needed…I can't leave the office, and have to eat my meal at the desk while still performing my job while eating. I kid not. When I go solo, there will not be another staff member around to take over while I take a break, so I will be working independent and alone. I told the owner tonight who's been training me, that I am an insulin dependant diabetic, and I take my insulin…

What fuels my fight

When was the last time you used a dating app? When was the last time you felt discomfort due to finances while living your daily life? ​ I realized it's probably easier for most people to change the world than to have children.

The nerve of companies asking for assessment tests!

Stop asking me to take your stupid assessment tests! For fuck sakes! I'm so sick of corporate bastards deciding on whether or not they should hire someone based on assessments! I mean, I applied for a drive-by oil change company to see if I could make better money beginning as a mechanic and moving on up. What do you know, an assessment test! Guess what!? Not hired! And stop asking me to record a 1 minute video on “why I feel I would be a good fit at the company” bullshit! Bitch, see my skills? Hire me!

The Labor Day is Over

New boss came to see what I do. Lasted 1/2 hour. Begged off. I remembered that the bosses are not my friends. I did not offer any personal info that he did not need to know. I still suspect he has been brought in to [find ways to] get rid of the old boss and me because of our age. I am going to apply for retirement and keep working here until I am forced out, using the extra money to pay down the mortgage and to save some more. I may downsize to a used trailer at some point or move to Ecuador or somewhere. I do not know what will happen. I do know that I am protecting my own interests. I freak out a bit because I have not decided all of my future as a retired [but somewhat broke] older person [who will be donating plasma…

A standard 32 hour work week and basic income is economic justice. Automation and technological unemployment necessitate this.

AirBNB is being restricted severely in NYC

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for AirBnb. The company deserves to collapse. driving up the cost of renting apartments and buying homes across the US as investors are taking away inventory from long term tenants and homeowners. At in NYC this will help to bring more inventory to the rental market and hopefully drive these AirBnb hosts out of business. If you want to see predatory capitalists this is the hosts. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/06/new-york-city-airbnb-short-stay-booking-rental-rules-laws-impact
