I was laid off recently (not from FAANG). I am a software developer. I used to provide fixed monthly income for three people: a gardener, a housekeeper and a personal assistant. I used to give large tips for service workers. I used to have lots of different subscriptions of online plataforms. I used to buy lots of groceries in the supermarket and neighborhood stores. I used to travel, eat out and buy new clothes. I used to go the barber shop frequently. Damn, I used to spend thousands on weed every month. Now I can't afford to do any of it. Now that I'm unemployed, ALL of those people who were directly profiting from the habits of an employed person took a hit. Except perhaps for the large companies, the financial impact on then was not negligible (mainly for the weed guy!). Those people, in turn, also consume from other…

I'm curious of people's opinions about tipping culture in the U.S. these days. About a year or two ago, any time I would comment on the topic, I'd be met with outright hate for not wanting to tip any more. I'm from the 90's, where tipping was 15% at restaurants and 10% or a few bucks for delivery drivers and thats it. And on top of that, it was a bonus, for exceptional service, unlike today where tipping is now EXPECTED everywhere and starts at 20%. Honestly, I'm tired of losing more of my hard earned money to these fucks who dont want to pay their staff properly. And then I had people saying things like “well if you cant afford to tip, dont eat out”, and you know what, fuck those people too. Why am I the one being guilt tripped? I go out to eat and pay for…

We need more of the working class to have a backbone to use against the elite. We can’t all be Superman but all together we might as well be the man of steel himself. https://www.reddit.com/r/superman/comments/10j99jc/out_like_a_boss/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I’ve already posted here back in November about hating my current job but I thought I’d give it some more time. Well things still haven’t really gotten better, just worse and more stressful that it should be. I really just want out of here but I’m having a really hard time finding a replacement suitable for my lifestyle. I work part time at a job that pays me a bit over minimum wage where I live, and I do school part time and try to stream videos as well. My hopes is to one day be able to start streaming but until then I need to work. I’ve been trying to find something that’s good for the hours I need while also paying well which is really hard. Is there any good ways to find jobs out there?

I have a degree in accounting, but have been working in bank operations for most of my working time. I’ve been applying and putting my resume in for jobs in the area I’m relocating to but I’ve been getting declined left and right due to lack of experience, and these are more entry level accounting/audit jobs. I know everything. I know how everything works. I know how to use quickbooks. I’m great using excel. Can do financial statements. I can do all of these. Its honestly just data entry. I just have not officially worked for a business in accounting. I can’t get experience if no one will hire me. At this point, I’m tired of trying to explain to the few who’ve taken the time to actually talk to me. I think I’m just gonna lie.
