Antiwork

I know for areas like San Francisco it’s different but I’m sick of hearing people who make very good money, too 10-20% of the population good try telling the rest of us who’ll never make that much how it’s unfair for them to. NO it’s not. If you’re the only people left who can afford to buy houses and have kids than you’re doing very well. Especially government employees who are paid off our backs but have little accountability. Like yeah I guess you can’t buy another Rolex but I can even afford to live on my own. Especially those who are DINK. Sorry for the rant. I’m just sick of people who are doing better than the rest of us acting like it’s normal to ever make that sort of money.

“You said I'd feel better if I just worked hard without lifting my head up. That left me fed up!

It's been a good market for workers. But everyone should beware that things are changing–or at least, employers are conspiring against workers to change them. Please stand firm against burning yourself out to do 2 jobs for the salary of 1. Don't let them make their business decisions your problem, eat further into your life for no added compensation. The Federal Reserve is openly pressuring corporations to freeze hiring. I've already seen posts or articles on LinkedIn confirming that many companies are starting to freeze or slow hiring. It's spreading everywhere. Honor yourself, don't work harder for nothing. If they want to leave open positions vacant, they're not doing it at our expense!

So, I will be interviewing for a job at my local Dollar Tree tomorrow. The hiring manager made it sound like I was already hired on the phone. I’m nervous because I’ve never had a legit job before. I’m worried that my naivety of the real world will be taken advantage of. What are some things I should look out for? Or things I can do to protect myself?

To say I'm anxious about the economy and the general state of the world is an understatement. How about you guys?

Why at all are demographic questions still popping up during the application process? What is the information used for it not to discriminate? Can someone help me understand…?
