Using unpaid “intern” to avoid paid training for new employee. Shameful.

I am at the edge and I feel like nobody realises what we do

I am a firefighter in Ireland, I am a retained Firefighter. What this means is that we work 24/7 365 and we have to live and work within 2.5km of the station. If i want to leave the area I have to get permission. If I want to go for a drink I have to get permission. If I want to go 3 km away I have to get permission. This is my reality and to me it is mental, it is accepted here but please tell me good reasons to fight back.

Below $15/hour for essential workers?

Why? Just why? Alot of people can work from home now. Except essential workers like me. I'm a hha and I've been in the middle of covid since it started. I can't support myself yet people who can sit home and basically do nothing get $45/hour salary with benefits and can afford a house and food. I hate living on this planet. Don't tell me that I'm essential to the workforce so I have to be on the front lines then make me suffer in poverty.

I can’t land a job post college that’ll pay me right

I’m losing it. I’ll do my best to not make this a rant, but in the 8 months since I’ve graduated I have applied to hundreds of jobs. For context, I have a bachelor’s in writing and have been applying to any job that corresponds with my degree. Most expect 5+ years of experience, most don’t bother to get back to me, and of the two jobs I landed I was let go from one due to budget cuts, and the other is refusing to negotiate fair wages after a messy hiring process. I signed a lease two weeks before I was let go from the first job, and with a minimal amount of savings and student loans starting in May, I’m beginning to worry that I won’t have a place to live in the next year. Everyone close to me who I speak to about this tells me not…

There is hope

I recently got offered a job with a guy I worked with in a previous job. I knew him and our personal relationship factored into this but I wanted to tell my story to give some people some hope in this dystopia nightmare. I received a message from the hiring manager saying that he saw my resume on ziprecruiter. He wanted to interview but he didn't want to inconvenience me so he insisted he buy me dinner at a Panera near my house and we could talk there. (Definitely out of the norm but still nice.) He straight up told me what he was offering salary wise and it was right around my asking price. No bs, no back and forth, no having to convince myself to take a lower offer because it is closer to where I live. Here is the best part. They are giving the person I…
