Antiwork

Another U.S.A horror story. I’ve been losing jobs left and right since last year since I’ve been in a bout of serious mental health issues. I’ve been jumping house to house of family and my fiancé is the only one keeping me sane. I’ve been in and out of outpatient/inpatient treatment and been in therapy for a year. Whenever I work 40 hours, after a month, I just shut down. I call out all the time from chronic anxiety. I do my best to control it but it’s been happening for years Better yet I just got denied on my SSDI appeal. So now I have to appeal again, get a lawyer, and most likely have to wait a year with no reliable income at all. My country has left me behind. Corporate America has left me shattered.

It is official there is nothing for under 200K available for purchase, anywhere in the valley. Rent where I live (A studio) is going from 912.00 to 1340.00 a month. Me and my wife both work full time and I am also in the national guard. I would like to know if others are facing a similar situation and if it is time to protest or manifest in any way. I think housing is a basic human need and this would be a very noble cause to fight for that affects all races and cultures.

When I first got into my career of choice almost 10 years ago now I started to make a realization when applying to jobs. The requirement for a batchelor’s degree would always lower my confidence in getting a callback for the job. I was going to school at the time but instead of skipping over those jobs that required a bachelor’s degree I decided to apply to them instead. I mean, worst they could say was no, right? I realized that the more I would apply the more callbacks and job offerings I would receive, even though I didn’t have a bachelor’s degree. The requirements were put there to weed applicants out. Eventually I dropped out of school entirely and never even received my associate’s degree (I only have a HS diploma). I started an entry level job in my field and started to gather some experience. Over time I…

Wish me luck. My boss is awesome but we both work for the state so I don't know if it can be done. Ive been working less than a year here so that doesn't help. But I just found out I'm being paid 10 dollars less an hour compared to others in my field and I'm in a more specialized position than them. I love this job but damn that's so much less I'm being paid. I can move for lateral pay but an extra 3 months off a year before PTO…

I’ve been at Schlotzskys for 4+ years. I know what I’m doing. I remember the honeymoon period. The time I liked coming in. The time I’d cover anyone’s shift because I liked the people I worked with. Generally good people. People that cared about each other. One by one they left. Robert didn’t bother me. Ok he could be an ass on some days. Then we had Jolena. She was so down to earth & realistic like me. Still in all that time I’ve rarely called in. I’ve never no call no showed. Jolena got into it with her boss so she’s gone. Now a new GM is here. Some say Jolena was bad. New GM is WORSE. Her attitude SUCKS. She wants to get rid of old employees in favor of new employees. Last week that all came crashing down. I was sent home early Tuesday because of labor.…
