It’s okay to have a dress code but it really grinds my gears when companies make you BUY their uniforms. Especially cause their shirts can be like 25 dollars. If you require it you should supply it for free. If you don’t want to supply uniforms let people wear whatever in a guideline.
So, at the moment I am unemployed, I received an invitation to take a free professional qualification course for waiters, I tried to find information on the website but I only found the documentation, place and time of registration, and an alert that said to hurry up because the vacancies were limited, the next day, today, I went to the place, arrived early and asked the security guard how the course worked, after they confirmed the security said, I pretended that I had forgotten a document and left without signing up. A 3 month “intensive” course. Transport vouchers, uniforms would be given, and whoever stood out at the end of the course could be nominated for a professional vacancy.

Passive income vs. social safety nets
I've been trying to sort out why the idea of passive income annoys me so much, despite hating the argument “Everyone has to work to contribute to society”. I hate that argument because it's stupid and I think some people should be able to be supported by the rest of society (for example disabled people who can't work). For some reason the idea of someone acquiring enough stocks or real estate to retire and make passive income really bothers me. I think I finally figured out why this isn't a contradiction. I think people should be able to survive and be happy without working, but I don't think it's right that people can keep accumulating more and more wealth just by nature of already having it. Is this a bad take? Is there a better way to describe this distinction so it doesn't feel like cognitive dissonance?
Well yeah. Why the 9 hells would I stay at a job that makes me feel FAR undervalued and will leave me with permanent damage by my 30s? I never understood why some coworkers will try to guilt you into staying at a job you clearly hate. Managers make sense. Why coworkers? You and I do the same job, man. You know how much I can't stand this place. I know damn well you can't stand it either. What gives?
