I’ve had a lot of jobs. Like, a lot a lot but have been at my job around 9 months now. This is a “build to rent” company that essentially builds homes, sells them to investors, and then continues to profit off of them by managing the rentals. They operate in incredibly oversaturated markets and we have been looking at homes sitting vacant for 4+ months while the investors foot the bill, pay their mortgage they were promised renters would be covering, and the company continues to profit off of both the investors and prospective tenants paying application fees on homes we have no intention of actually renting to them. The majority of investors are first time investors who were susceptible to this “get rich quick” scheme. It is all-around SLIMY. Things started off okay.

I think it's so wrong for people to think that those who work jobs like Mc Donald's, Walmart, etc. shouldn't deserve a place to live. Or that people have that mindset where those jobs should only be temporary and not sustainable long term. Do you want good service? Do you want food that is cooked well? Do you want workers to actually be happy and not struggle? Do you want the employee to actually look in the back for an item for you because they can give a shit since they are able to live on their own or with a roommate/partner?

Customer tried to fight me The woman was twice my age and bigger than me. She called me the r word and then I called her a bitch. She then started threatening me verbally and following me to the break room. My coworkers blocked her from coming up to me. She called me a little girl and said she’d “bust me up”. She said I’m not the one, and that she’ll go to jail today.

I figured moving to a fixed income and leaving a borderline toxic environment would benefit my mental health and quality of life. It feels like no matter what I do or where I spend/earn my cash it all goes back the the 1%, so whats the point? Its tax season and the IRS wants its cash and all Ive got is shit they want to tax me on (crypto, video games, clothes). How do people live without a damn job these days ffs.
