As my mother continues to throw out the “nobody wants to work since they can be paid for sitting on their butts” crap, I'm putting together a nice gift for Mother's Day. Since I'm receiving unemployment, I will start with a copy of my last paycheck at my former employer and my latest unemployment check. Unemployment is roughly an 80 percent pay cut. Yes, I used to make what I make in a week off of unemployment in a day. Having to keep records of applying for jobs for said unemployment, I am also printing off each email acknowledging my application and any rejection correspondence I receive. Note: I receive email correspondence on 1 out of 10 or so applications – no one has offered an interview in months. I am tired of the “nobody wants to work” crap when no one seems to be hiring. I've applied for jobs at a significant pay cut to not hear a word; same pay and responsibilities to not hear a word. I honestly wish companies had to publish data on open positions, # of applicants, the date the role was filled, AND be held accountable for filling these roles. I swear many posted jobs are fake.
Happy Mother's Day – Get off my back!
