People need to realize that started a new job is expensive.

I needed: a used reliable gas efficient car for the commute a phone upgrade (battery wasn't reliable) upgrade my laptop (because I'm poor and mine was 6 years old/worn out) Headphones for zoom interviews to reduce technical difficulties Also booked rooms in libraries for the interviews because I couldn't afford to upgrade my internet all new business casual clothes (my clothes were work clothes. shirts that come in bags, pants that are beat and torn, and work boots) accessories (bags, mice, keyboards, etc.) If I didn't have money saved up I wouldn't have been able to accept my new job, and I won't get my first check for another couple weeks. I love my new job, but holy shit you can't just “if you don't like it get a new job” if you don't have adequate money saved. I had to spend hundreds just to upgrade my router so I…

“The talented jerk” can’t be that talented

You have to be pretty lucky or connected to get people to ignore your anti-social behavior. Meanwhile, you have talented people with autism or social skills-affecting disabilities who try to be nice not even being considered for jobs. A jerk's “talent” can't be the only thing keeping them employed.

Manager annoyed an employee tested positive on shift

A member of staff today got a phone call from their second job informing them that a few members of staff had tested positive and they should take a test too. Our workplace has LFT’s onsite so naturally my coworker takes a test and it comes back positive. They inform the manager of this and go home. Cue the manager then complaining saying no one should be allowed to test at work, they should’ve finished their shift so that we wouldn’t be left short staffed and tested at home. This is actually the mentality of these people. Madness.

I just now realized this

How fucking stupid is the concept of trickle down economics. I already knew it never worked but after thinking for a minute i realized how much of a lie and a scam it truly is. Let me explain. Whitch one of these sound more logical to you: Problem is to get money in the hands of the lower and the middle class / money in circulation making the economy run. “Solution” trickle down: For middle and the lower class to get money they dont give the money to them but to the rich who need money the least. In theory the rich are suposed to use the money to invest in their buisnesses creating jobs but the problem is everyone knows this is bullshit because the number one trait you need to have to be rich in the first place is huge amounts of greed. CEO:s have made more and…

Young people are going into debt with college degrees that aren’t appreciated by employers in the workplace. Their knowledge or ideas won’t be very applicable to the actual work they will be doing oftentimes. The occupational skills that employers often want aren’t taught enough in colleges.
