Last night at church a couple of the church ladies were complaining about a job hunt. They were looking for second jobs to make ends meet. One lady “Allison” said she'd applied for over 22 jobs in retail and fast food but kept getting told her schedule wasn't open enough because she can't work Sundays or Wednesday nights. She's looking for part-time, like 20 hours a week and can't even get a job in fast food.
The other lady “Bethany” has kids and needs a job that allows her to meet the bus because she can't afford daycare. She lamented that everyone is so short staffed, but not willing to work with a schedule.
I popped off with “well they just want to monopolize your time in addition to paying you as little as possible. An “open” schedule is impossible if you are looking for a second job”….. I surprised myself. This sub has changed my whole outlook.
But honestly they shouldn't be looking for a second job. Between their first jobs and their husband's job they should be making ends meet. Clearly none of them are getting paid what they should be.
