Agree or disagree? Living off benefits can lead to bad social optics (especially for achieving quality romantic and sexual relationships) and conforming to societal expectations of ‘desirability’ through working a job to some capacity is a necessity.

Unless if you tell them that you have been consistently applying for jobs and you earned from casual gig work pre-pandemic?

For about two decades I've been buying eggs for about $1 per dozen. Now, just in the last couple of years, there's no one selling $1/dozen eggs. I guess no one wants to sell eggs anymore. If we stopped giving farmers all these government handouts, they'd have an incentive to get off their butts and get back to work. /s

Stupid? maybe? scared, yes lmao. I found out they offered me 5-10k lower salary than what was reported for this company usually. Some local jobs for the same title also offered a little over $52k This has been eating away at me, The offer was 40k salary, Which is okay but I can do better. So i emailed them this morning, asking to discuss a salary increase via zoom, or coming into the office. They just hired me a week ago and I start next week. Is this “unprofessional” maybe but I don’t care. Hopefully I don’t get fired. Wish me luck! Edit: spelling, i’m on my phone.
