Kind of a vent, I'm so frustrated. I'm at the point where we're seriously struggling and panicking about paying rent. I've put in 50+ physical and digital applications this month alone and NOTHING. I'm not applying for god damn government jobs at $25 an hour, I'm applying for 7/11s, big chain retail stores, and fast food. I just keep getting the dreaded “we don't think you'd be a good fit for our minimum wage shit job, you don't have university level education or 6 years retail experience uwu” I have 4+ years retail+ restaurant experience and my last 3 jobs have been very long term. I have quality references. I don't fucking understand why a 22 year old can't find work in a town begging for employees. It's not like I even have gaps in my resume, other than the past 2 months due to the ridiculous pickiness of employers.

Human Capital Management

Somehow they can afford to hire all those celebrities for that commercial (which also aired during the super bowl), but not provide better pay and benefits to their drivers. It's like they are purposefully flaunting their money and rubbing it in the face of the “contractors”. It's disgusting.
