Hey y’all I’m at a crossroads yet again. Each time I get a job it pays more than the last but given inflation and cost of living rising I am still struggling to make ends meet. I moved out of my parents home as soon as I saved the money up to escape my abusive father. I thought that moving would be the best thing I could do. A month after I moved I lost my car because some asshole missed his exit on the highway and decided to ram my car out of the way. Without transportation and a lack of funds available to use lyft or uber it was really hard finding and maintaining a job. ontop of the jobs not paying enough. Fast forward I have a car now and I eventually found a job they lure you in with talk of bonuses and “competitive pay”. Reality is it’s 12 hour shifts in a non air conditioned factory where injuries get covered up and they overwork everyone. we are on our feet all the time and aren’t even allowed to lean to take a rest, our breaks are too short and we have to rush to eat. they lied to us about how much vacation time and personal time we get and overall i hate that i took this job but I was desperate and struggling. But i’m still struggling even with this job. It pays $22 an hour btw. I could really use some advice on what to do I’ve been job hunting but I’ve been getting rejected or never hear anything from these places again. I’m very close to going back to stripping again (which i have a love hate relationship with that’s another story)
