Antiwork

“I took you in with no experience and now you’re quitting?”

I had no work experience in IT and luckily a company desired to hire me. It was tough but I managed after a year to become pretty good. But the commute and lousy pay was killing me. I was getting two bucks above the minimum wage in my city and doing an hour commute. Finally, I racked enough experience to apply and get hired to a job 15 minutes away from where I live with more pay. “You're leaving after just one year?” My boss said. “Was this your plan just to gain experience and leave? That's pretty messed up” I didn't say anything. It's strange but I felt guilty. Like I was using them to get ahead. It wasn't until my girlfriend said “they were paying you shit knowing your long commute. This is just business. Thats it” she was right of course
