My wife and I had been wanting to go on a big trip for Mardi Gras since we had started dating (we aren't Catholic, just like to party lol). After we both got decent jobs (at the same location, no less), we were able to save up and put money into this trip at last. I informed my ASM and the newly hired SM about this trip well in advance and neither had a problem with it, and SM tells me they will talk to DM about getting coverage for the trip. Well, a few days before the trip, ASM quits, and my SM finally brings up our trip to DM AFTER ASM quits, and DM tells SM “we will just have to be understanding of the situation and cancel our trip.” SM doesn't tell me this until the night before we're set to leave. Evidently they don't have enough…
Oh and let’s not forget the mass email with zero thoughtfulness behind it that basically says “thank you for all the hard work you do every day while we continue to underpay and overwork you after yet another year of soaring profits.”
It just seems like there are no well paying jobs in Florida. I have worked for Restaurants , hotels, theme parks, and now finally the government as a help desk tech. All of these jobs paid 15$ an hour or below. I’ve been able to see jobs paying maybe a dollar or two more. I had an offer from Lockheed Martin, tech related position, 16$ an hr. Is there something I’m missing? It seems like there’s no good options here? Any advice would be helpful. If the problem is me and where I’m applying then let me know too I just want to have a job that pays what the work is worth.
I was looking on GoFundMe for a family member's fundraiser. I see almost nothing but fucking medical fundraisers. People with cancer, after accidents, after a shooting. And it's all the same thing “the insurance won't cover” or “has no insurance”. Holy shit. I mean, I know this. I know I know this. Kids dying for lack of medicine. How can these politicians and these companies live with themselves? I mean HOW? And the fucking people that are pictured with some kind of Republican slogan begging for money for their life, or their kid's life. Jesus Christ what a joke. What a fucking joke this country is. I feel sick. And I couldn't even find the right page. Imma have to send him a check.
