Not sure if this is the right sub to vent on, but i am getting pretty exacerbated with the increase and audacity of hiring managers to just ghost prospective employees, especially after multiple interviews or communication correspondence. It's absolutely ridiculous that people with “human” in their job title can't communicate effectively.

He was denied assistance from the foodbank as he “Earns too much”. He's on minimum wage. I hate this system, I hate that I'm part of it. I want the best conditions for my staff and a comfortable lifestyle for them. Just not in the position to get it for them… its soul destroying

Kinda sounds like your 13.7$ an hour job, in a big city, wasn’t part time after all.

I exist because of the mistakes of others, my life is an empty shell shuffled from one hollow task to the next, feeding the engine that is my body simply to remain alive and feed it the next day. I am not “lost” or “bereft of purpose” but rather I have concluded that my purpose is insubstantial. That the purpose I serve is merely to continue under any cost, to remain trudging forward as days blend into weeks and months and years until I cannot take another step, or pump another breath. The purpose of life is to sustain life, the purpose of humanity is to watch the next generation grow into something we can look upon with pride knowing that their children will be in safer hands than our children were and their children after that. But what becomes of a machine with no purpose when it becomes self-sustaining?…
