Am I the a$$hole?

I just went to an interview on the far side of town. When I got there they were unprepared, but whatever. For the “interview” they tell me about the company and position (which was all on the job ad), asked a few questions (the answers to which were on the resume IN HIS HAND), whined about how “everyone wants to gets paid for just sitting at home now”, then thanked me for coming out and said they'd call me. Am I being Punk'd?? That could have been a phone call or email. Unless they wanted to make sure my skin was white enough or something. What a waste of time and gas. I WANT to work, but I'm not the one who needs to try harder. I feel like I'm losing my damn mind, this idiocracy can't be real.

Teachers are done

I have a little sister who is still in the K-12 system. As such, I have kept myself informed about the situation at her school district since COVID began. Yesterday, I watched a public board meeting where teachers were crying and begging for a raise. As of this school year, there are 40 teacher vacancies throughout the district. As such, teachers are being forced to give up release time in order to cover for those vacancies….Because there are also no substitutes applying. This means that now more than ever, teachers are spending more personal time doing work stuff. All at the same pay rate, which mind you, hasn't seen an increase in over a decade. On top of this, the district's pressure to bring students back on track to meet standards is ever increasing. Teachers are getting burnt out and looking for employment elsewhere… Yet, the district is reluctant to…
