Antiwork

I've been trying to find work for over a year now that the pandemic has died down and recently my situation has changed so that I need to find a job by the end of this month otherwise I'm going to be homeless. The main issue is that nobody's fucking hiring me because I have very little work experience. Two weeks total. With only around 30 days to find a job, I feel like I have to resort to lying on my CV but I have no clue how to go about it in a way that might result in me being found out. What should I do if I'm asked for a reference to my previous employers? I live in the UK, in case that detail is important.

Whatever you feel you suck at, are doing wrong, or dont know, remember there is somebody else who is confidently doing it wrong, has no plans to change or improve, and is being paid much more than you to do it. Dont let a broken system ruin your mentality. Believe in your excellency as much as they believe in their mediocrity.

Today I was scheduled 1pm-10pm, I work as a line cook. There's a new guy that I've been working with for the past week who is an asshole to everyone and refuses to do anything but put sauce on wings. Today I was working with him and on a separate station and noticed he was almost out of cooked wings in his hot box and said that he might want to drop more when he starts to get low and he said “I ain't gonna work my ass off kill yourself and leave me alone.” So naturally I calmly walk off the line and go tell the kitchen manager and the foh manager what just happened and they immediately went to defending the guy saying that that's a common thing people say. I have cptsd and was at this point in a complete mental health crisis so I went outside…

You think you'll have a happy worker if they can never afford a nice coat, a drink with their friends, something nice they'll gift to their partner or maybe even a road trip one weekend a month? You think these things aren't necessary for a person do be sufficiently satisfied at their job? If you don't give them anything to look for when they leave work, then why would they come in the first place? Ask yourself what you have and others do not, that you'd miss very much.

If I was incompetent I would understand but no. I excelled at my work. My peers kept asking why I didn’t made it to top seeing my performances. My bosses approached me for promotion and I agreed and yet AGAIN due to some fuck ups and so called “communication error”, I didn’t made it to the list. I don’t know where I went wrong.
