My next job I am applying for is a Dollar General Market in the suburbs where I now live. It has a high employment rate of LGBT people.
I hate my current car parts factory job as a machine operator.
I have been working there since mid-August 2021. It is my first job, before that I was living with my parents, going to college.
I hate cars and am extremely environmentally conscious. Working there goes against my ethics.
I work there because my adoptive parents kicked me out for having hereditary schizophrenia and my sister got my foot in the door, as she was a welder there. I've been trying everywhere else nearby and they all turned me down. I am concerned that there is an involuntary psychiatric committal that would be on a background check. But I am perfectly stable now.
Ever since my sister quit due to work exacerbating an old spinal injury, I spend $100 a week just to get home every day.
I live in the neighborhood so I can probably use my bike, or at least a Lyft would be cheap.
It's 95°+ and high humidity in a warehouse and with no A/C.
The job is extremely physically demanding, making me tired and hungry constantly.
All the sweat makes my fight against acne harder.
No matter how much water I drink, the dehydration makes me constipated.
On my feet for 8 hours, I always get tendonitis in my ankles.
Bending down over machines, I always get a stiff and cracking upper back.
No matter how many times I change my earplugs, I always find grey grease in my ears.
All my clothes get ruined with grey grease.
I'm trans, and my boss confronted with homophobia another employee, but that employee got fired because of a stupid untrue rumor that he threatened the boss for it, even though they knew it was untrue. I continue to go into the men's restroom like I did before when my sister was there to stick up for me, but now I always worry for the day someone will say something.
I get no socialization because it's loud and most of my coworkers will not speak English. I tried to learn Burmese, but I didn't like what they were saying about me (misgendering) and I stopped.
One of my coworkers won't stop hitting on me and I don't feel like I can do anything about it due to plausible deniability.
I want a part-time job because all I ever do anymore is work, eat, shower, sleep. I want more time to make art and work on my scant portfolio; I got a graphic design and computer animation Bachelor's but there was an issue with the school's storage and a lot of my work was lost. My living expenses are very low anyway ($400/mo rent including utilities)
