I’ve been through 3 rounds of interviewing for a minimum wage job

And tbh, odds are I’m not going to get it. A month of hard work, interview prep, and filling out endless question forms about to go down the drain 😀

“Any movement that comes to power with that idea of providing for all the people and escaping the control of the United States is bad for the US” Is this why socialism/communism is always painted in a negative light?

Filing my taxes today make me wanna find ways to reduce the 30mins/day I work in my 9-5 to 1min/day.

Seeing the amount I filed in taxes vs. the return I got? Like damn the American working class is fucked. Only way out is entrepreneurship. And not even a sole proprietorship or LLC. Why are they teaching us “tan x = sin x cos x”, in schools when what we need to learn is how to use good debt and tax avoidance (not evasion) to work the system and run successful businesses – which will improve the economy anyways. Ughhhhhhhhhh Okay rant over

Hey peeps! I also posted on r/legaladvice, but also curious if anyone here has had a similar experience and what they've done about it Me and my old boss didn't get along throughout the last months of my last gig.

I ended up telling him I was gonna be gone from the studio in 2 months, so he decided to fire me the very next week. This was March 2021. Now, in my exit interview, HR told me I was eligible for unemployment so I took advantage of it for the next 6 months receiving about 9k in benefits. Last month, to my shock I receive a letter from EDD saying that I owe back all the money I received because I was disqualified for “speaking…

Bereavement

This is a slightly older story, but thinking back on it, it seems very appropriate for this sub. I'd had an uncle pass away while I was working in a call center, and so I went through the company's process of requesting leave for bereavement (unpaid). I only requested 1 day off, so that I could attend the funeral. Days go by without any update on the status of my request. I asked both my manager and my supervisor, but they told me I would have an answer by the date in question. The morning of, I still have no answer, so I say fuck it and just go. Standing there, surrounded by family and friends crying, they decide its appropriate to start blowing up my phone demanding to know why I never showed up or even called in. Never have I quit a job so fucking fast. Good to…
