#but the job market is awful
Text
If my local library or bookshop were to post full time positions, I'd apply in a heartbeat, do anything to get it. The library occasionally posts part time, which in one circumstance may work in a pinch, say, going back to school for a certificate. Which, seeing how my job is right now, may very well happen.
#loving how i got laid off a year ago because the company wanted asses in seats in person#and didn't want to pay us half of what we made#and now my current job is threatening a lay off for problems out of our control#but we're the ones blamed for everything#at this point i'm there for 4 reasons#income and health insurance#opportunity to transfer within the company and to better jobs#and mostly because i don't want to deal with this job market again#but the job is awful and the people even worse#part of me almost wishes they'd just go through with it and get me out of that hell hole with severance#but the job market is awful#i just want to hang out with my precious books all day#i should get one of the part time jobs and get the certificate#the certificate for a decent and in demand job#and get one of those jobs while getting my MLIS#did i just make my 5 year plan in the tags?#the world may never know#personal

they've been doing interviews at my job and we still have a massive stack of applications in the office despite interviewing 6 people a day for a week and I keep thinking about how when I got hired they basically hired me on spot
#THE JOB MARKET IS BADDD THIS IS AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONNNN#we make 15 an hour now though which is Insane considering the area we are in#back when I was hired it was only /10/#AWFUL#TERRIBLE

hey does anyone know any jobs that are good for people with anxiety and autism and if so how would i get there
#recent grads in my major are facing the worst job market in years (and i would be miserable in programming anyway so thats off the table)#my IT job rn is actual hell on earth but thats a whole other thing#unironically i think customer service was the least awful position i've held but oof that wrecked me physically#and all of my interests are in the industries with the most worker exploitation 😃👍 and i wouldn't know where to get connections regardless#the only jobs listings near me are minimum wage or delivery drivers :(#the signs are pointing me to go back to school but hhhhhg i don't know if i could afford that on my own now#screams into pillow#text

jobs will say they're disability friendly until you actually need them to be friendly about your disabilities
jobs will say they're mental health friendly until you actually have to miss work for it
jobs will say they support you taking time off until you actually do it
capitalism is a sham and employers do not and will not ever care about you, and if you're chronically ill, sucks to suck
i have an average of 1.5 absences a month and i'm tardy an average of twice a month, and somehow that's still too much.
18 absences in a year if i go at the current rate. 18. out of the 208 days total that i work (4 on, 3 off, with a 3 hour commute each direction.) 18. days. of absences. and that's too many.
and god forbid i be more than 15 minutes late.
#it's because we're horrifically understaffed#animal rescue is understaffed and underpaid and burnt the fuck out#but where else am i gonna go#back to retail? my body can't take that anymore#a decade of 8 hours a day on my feet has quite literally crippled me#i called out today because i dared to have fun over my weekend and my hip pain flared so badly that i couldn't put weight on it#i should stay home and rest it tomorrow too#but i'm not#because my boss already texted me today to inform me that my absences are “alarmingly too frequent” and “becoming problematic”#i took fmla for a month and a half last year because i couldn't handle existing#i've been back for 3 months#my shelter laid off 15% of our staff within a month of me returning#critical teams were cut entirely#and my team#the adoptions team#has seven people total#that's not enough#that isn't NEARLY enough#not for an animal shelter of our size and animal volume#that's why me calling out is “problematic”#because HR won't greenlight us for more positions#because of a problem THE CEO caused by driving us into the ground financially#and if i leave i have to start all over somewhere else#i have to wait a year to be eligible for fmla at a new job#i lose my benefits#i don't even know if i could FIND a job#the market is awful and i will literally collapse if i have to work a standing job again#i made it six months at my last one#because i was so dizzy and in so much pain all the time#undiagnosed issues of course

it kinda blows my mind how much poc are supposed to excuse so white liberals can maintain their status quo
#soooooooooo sick of being told to ‘hold the line’ when the line is#genocide/police brutality/inflation/housing crisis/a god awful job market/etc/etc/etc#the two party system is really bullshit bc the choice is literally a) the party that hates women/poc/poor ppl or#b)the party that pretends they don’t hate women/poc/poor ppl so long as they have your vote#it’s literally a lose/lose situation for someone like me. but I’M the bad guy😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫

#i think one thing i really hope to get through to my parents when they visit me is that. my job market is Not their job market#i keep thinking of their frankly Awful ‘advice’ of ‘apply even if you’re not qualified’#like. do you HEAR how stupid that sounds? ‘walk into a law firm and say ‘hire me’ even though your degree is in. culinary arts’#it’s like that!#when i skip out on an application because i’m not qualified i’m not being timid or lazy#it means i DON’T have the required experience OR that hiring me in that job would result in a POORLY DONE JOB#i cannot in good faith apply to a position who’s expectations i cannot meet.#much less an engineering position where that could lead to dangerous situations#it doesn’t seem like they believe me when i say no one in my field is hiring. and then i get hit with ‘well you chose to stay in fairbanks’#yeah god fucking forbid i want to give myself the stability i NEVER HAD growing up. i’m the villain for wanting to KEEP the life i worked#so hard to build for myself after having to Leave it over and over and OVER again. that makes me selfish and you want to say i’m acting out#or disrespecting you. no. i want a Life that’s My Own. that i’ve made with my own two hands and my own decisions.#i just want someone to hire me so they can leave me alone. i’m so tired of being made to feel like i’m falling short#vent post#can you tell i’m 💫hormonal💫

t.ales from the p.izzaplex leaks/spoilers? // i don’t care for the books or whatever fuckery sb has been trying to do but the idea of the pizzaplex being built over the fnaf 6 restaurant bc they planned to turn that location into a MUSEUM has made michael So God Damn Mad IMFJSFJF
#HE HATES THAT SO MUCH IMFJSKDF#turns your poetic justice into a marketable museum i GUESS#honestly … could’ve slapped as a thematic detail if they did it with the intention of taking this place that was meant to put an end to the#awful history and finally lay it all to rest… and having a corporation use it for monetary gain while also bringing back the very entity#that caused so much suffering…. But I Have A Feeling They Did Not Think About It Like That JDKDHF#point is michael hates this he’s so angy leave them ALONE.#⁂ ･ﾟ: i was looking for a job‚ and then i found a job‚ and heaven knows i’m miserable now ➛ ooc

All these mobile game ads where it’s like break out of jail or fight zombies or whatever always show hot women getting killed (or harmed) after showing a form of rejection of the man protagonist/playable character. Wtf
#mysogyny#appealing to the pockets of incels I see…#one of the worst possible jobs I can imagine in the field of marketing#is making these spammy predatory awful mobile app ads#han thoughts

got a call from the acute care hospital mom is at this morning. around 3AM her heart stopped again (second time in two months). They didn’t call me THEN, i guess bc it was 3 and they got her heart started quickly. but they’ve transferred her to the closest full hospital now, and the ER doctor called me. he was nice enough but he doesn’t seem to think i should get my hopes up.
no word yet on my disability filing, but it’s just the first one, and typically unless you’re dying they say no. if mom dies now, there goes everything. she dies, i die.
i was so happy just a couple days ago, they said she was getting better
#it's so STUPID#you'd think i'd have even a BIT of marketable skill but apparently not#i can't stand up for long enough and i can't lift very much anymore#and i can't SEE well enough to drive or do a lot of other things#my memory is sincerely AWFUL (i live off of notes and alarms)#and my depth perception is off kilter and so's my balance#and you kno? i was going thru some old papers and found some of my old notes about job hunting#and i realized that i've been filling out applications since i was like 18 and have never gotten a single call back on any. ever.#all the work i've ever done has been for family (and thus for no pay) or day of cash in hand kind of stuff (that i'm not suited to anymore)

Funny how a bad day makes you a whole lot less excited and more hesitant to return to work the next day…
#oh my gosh guys Sydney is awful… like her entire ‘performance’ (or lack thereof) totally set off the entire workplace#and caused everyone to be behind and in such bad moods - including myself#we’re all hoping she quits but if she doesn’t… I think the owner plans on firing her🥴#(and Chastity is such a sensitive person it’s gonna upset her having to do that…)#but oh my gosh!! I never want to work with her again.#I miss Brock so much that was kid was not only a great worker but could answer any question you threw at him!!#she keeps whining saying ‘I just don’t like working’.#THEN HONEY YOU BEST FIND YOURSELF A RICH MAN TO MARRY BECAUSE IN THIS LIFE WE WORK TO BE ABLE TO LIVE#And I’m sorry if I have no sympathy for her but I worked in an environment that was so stressful and toxic#that I was literally losing my hair (I’m still hoping it regains its old thickness)#and I was there for NINE. Years.#this job seems like heaven after that so don’t come crying to me about how the freezer makes your job the most cruel thing on earth🙄y#you wanna know what’s cruel little Missy?! Cruel is making your employees wear a mask while running up and down stairs in the stifling heat#and humidity witu no AC. Whatsoever.#CRUEL is forcing your single young female employee to make friendly small talk with the shady males of your town#even after you’ve voiced how unsafe and vulnerable you feel#cruel is being fired over your social anxiety. (she wanted me gone so she used my personality against me)#AFTER NINE YEARS OF HARD WORK AVAILABILITY AND DEDICATION!#Cruel IS NOT stocking our freezer products in a small local grocery store#AND GIRL!!! you were literally hired to replace Brock!! he TRAINED you. You KNEW EXACTLY what your job was gonna consist of.#you do NOT have my sympathies#and if you hate a part of your job wouldn’t you work quickly just to get it over with?! cause that’s what I do!!!#ughhhh…#personal#work woes#a day in the life of a market associate
