This is more of a rant so I don’t really care about the response.
I won’t claim to have it the worst or make the least amount. My mother is the only reason I still have a roof over my head. About 4 years ago I left high school to find better education in ICT and cyber security. Best choice of my life, I finally thought I found something I could be proud of.
For context on this next part, it took me 2 years worth of about 90 different interviews and so many applications I lost count.
I finally found a job through a disability employer. ( I thought that if I could get help with interviews then I’d finally get a job.) I am autistic with enough intellectual problems to deal with.
One company in particular finally hired me for level 2 technical support. I won’t name anyone or the company for my own sake.
First 2 weeks were ok. After that everything just keep going down hill.
I’ve been working here for just over a year and I am still stuck at 20k a year. Barely enough to pay rent. I get 1 day off a year at best and any suggestions or effort I have or put in are ignored. I am treated like a child that doesn’t know anything about IT. Ok so what if I don’t have 20 years experience? I know what the fuck I am talking about with most system admin tools. You want me to work harder? Ok give me a reason. Treat me like I can put work in and not expect an insulting reward for my effort.
Fuck This World.
