Antiwork

I don't even know where to start. I don't think being on food stamps should be a stigmatized issue. Asking for help should be encouraged and understood. I mentioned I was on food stamps in our conversation today and he just got so frustrated and confused. I'm a young, white male and he basically started generalizing all people on food stamps, specifically stating that the only white people on food stamps are trailer park/white trash. Fun fact: I did grow up in a trailer park, but he doesn't know that. He also went on to say that he has no sympathy for poor people and the main reason he doesn't talk to his sister is because of her being on food stamps. I don't know what her story is, but not everyone on food stamps is abusing the system. Most people don't WANT to be on food stamps. It's not…

I work around 40 hours a week and it all goes to rent and utilities. I apparently make too much money to qualify for food stamps. The food bank near me requires an appointment and its booked for the next three weeks. Rent is due in three days and I only paid last months last week. I am a full time student and all my loans are in my name. I'll be forgiven 20,000 as a pell grant recipient, which upon graduation will leave me about 75,000 in debt. Somebody please tell me why I should not resort to criminal acts so that I can eat this week.

I’m hoping this is allowed. I had a shit job seeking process. I applied to maybe 400 jobs? With 10-15 interviews, and most of these applications requiring tests and random shit. One even had 6 rounds, of which i was eliminated round 4, before even an INTERVIEW. It was horrible. It was 6 months long of spending hours doing stupid questionnaires and tests. I can’t express how frustrated and angry i was, and still am at the system. The employers make applicants jump through WAY too many hoops. I was fully qualified for maybe 60-70% of these as well. I got two job offers, one sounding horrible and boring and life draining so I turned it down, and the other pulled the offer when I negotiated salary. However! I got a job a month ago. Fully remote, not too heavy work load, pay is reasonable (admittedly not as great as…

I was offered a job and two days before I was to start they rescinded their offer. They’re reasoning was that they were hesitant that I was commuting 35 minutes (Which I assured was no problem) and I quote “I expected you would be more than happy to accept.” I suppose to them I didn’t sound happy enough about the offer. I wanted to be professional about it on the phone because I didn’t think they wanted to hear me being giddy. Not to mention, when I asked questions before I accepted the offer, it was deemed off putting because they felt they more than throughly explained it all during the interview. Even though they were brand new questions to clarify benefits and dress code. I wore contacts to the interview but Is it okay that I wear my rainbow glasses. Confirming that the benefits were open enrollment. Things like…
