So, my bf and I got mega screwed over recently and it's been very stressful because of it.
At this point in time, rent due in Aprol was not paid, and was considered “late” on May due rent. He had changed his availability at his old job, and his hours were cut because he wasn't needed so much during his new available hours. So, money got tight.
This was before I moved in with him. I was out of work from my job for 6 weeks, due to a concussion I received on the job, but wasn't eligible for workers comp because my Dr note said I could return to work the same day with heavy restrictions. (I.e. those restrictions being everything the job was). This was in March/early April) so I had no income during those 6 weeks.
Anyway, early May I moved in with my bf, having finished my college semester and dropped out for personal reasons. One week of working McD later, were hunting for jobs. My friend ended up helping me get a job at a local smoothie place, but I don't get many hours, especially because I'm in training.
My bf was also hired for a job, 13/hr, with us, our living situation, and how much everything costs for us, with the hours he was going to work, was going to be big for us, and help us get caught up on bills.
Couple hours before he was going to start working, he got a message saying he didn't have the job anymore because payroll was too high.
So, that was a massive slap in the face, and he's been trying to find a new job since. He's had one interview already, has another one later today, for other jobs.
I've been doing my best to cover internet and electric, scraping all my money together best I can. The only reason we are actually going to end up having electric paid this month is because we got overcharged a previous month, and the credit covers our full cost this month, which felt like a miracle.
It really sucks with this whole situation because we live in an “at will” state, so it's really frustrating because there is nothing we can do about this
Idk, just wanted to get some frustrations out at the place that screwed us over big time. Also, if anyone has any advice, then please share
