Broke Job After Broke Job Lol

Not to get on a soapbox, but I’m so tired of hopping from one low paying job to another. 32M with a Masters of Public Administration. First Job: $1k/month as a part time project manager at a non-profit. I did this for a year after college for “experience”. Last Job: $34k/yr as a Legislator’s Aide at the stage capital. Got fired cuz “I wasn’t a good fit” aka refused to help out for free during elections. Current Part-Time Gig: Army National Guard Officer, $$$ varies depending on what we do in a year. I generally enjoy the job as I’m in a leadership position and get paid pretty well when on active duty status. But anyone in the military knows it’s not 9-5, but 24/7. Also, we just had training and our lunch consisted of chips, juice, Smucker’s Uncrustables, and a cereal bar. But hey, I guess I got free…

Every goddamn company that forces you to make an account on their website should just be banned from work offers.

I’m a liar.

I am definitely lying lately in interviews and on my resume. and guess what? I dont give even the HIGHEST flying fuck I graduated with my BS in the middle of the pandemic. We hadn't seen the inside of a classroom in almost a year. I have hardly any experience other than in office settings. Given I should have done more networking in college ~bc networking is so e a s y when you're doing 18 hour work loads, working a full time job & trying to have half a life outside of all the other shit but i digress~ but I didn't. So here I am. Being a big fat fucking liar. I've applied to over 200 places in the last 2-ish months. Had maybe 4 interviews? I dont know if its really the PPP loans like people are speculating (which probably bc big business) but even the “shitty”…

How do I keep going on like this??

Hi all, I am a 23F working for a Fortune 500 company. I do data entry along with a plethora of other things in my job. Every month we have a report sent to us showing our “error ratio” (how many errors we made divided by our productivity). In October, my error ratio was below our departments standard because of a system failure that is no fault of my own. I asked if that months errors could be tossed out because of the system failure; they told me no, and I got written up for it. Now I watch each month go by with crippling anxiety that I am going to get another write up, despite how hard I work. This job is chipping away at my soul. The amount of daily pep talks I have to give myself is insane. “This job does not define my worth” is a…
