I'm not unemployed or anything, but today i went to go volunteer at habitat/restore. I wasn't super chatty, i just took the tasks they gave me, finished said tasks as best I could, didn't chat too much with the other people, and kept to myself. Literally i spent 2-3 hours volunteering, and the manager woman offered me a job as a truck driver getting items from customers, a paying job too.

This whole hurr durr i cant find a job is complete bullshit, most kids today are just completely lazy fucks. Was the job offer glamorous? Fuck no, its a truck driver position. But it also means some extra income on the side, and its under the table too, so yeah, really nice. But, it's a job, and it pays, and i get to see if i like the truck driving job before i commit full time to it. I completely do NOT expect this job to sustain me, its just a fun thing to do on the side.

But i guess, its becoming so rare to find non idiots who actually do a job without using their job as the gossip room, so when you see someone actually doing their job, it comes off as shocking or something. They expect their job to hand them a 6 figure salary with full benefits for doing a bottom of the barrel job

I don't believe you. I've been working manufacturing for the past 15 years. The working atmosphere has gotten significantly worse than when I started, and I don't blame people for being unwilling to put up with bullshit from employers.

In my last job I had 3 cameras on my area at all times. If I were to spend more than two minutes waiting on the machine or go to the bathroom at an unapproved time, I would get a write up. Forget about actually being on your phone, if it was even in your pocket, it was a write up.

That shit is insane. People aren't robots to be used until failure and then tossed in the trash, and now they are starting to learn that. I can only hope it gets worse for (((employers))).

Edit: Oh and that was on a 50 hr week minimum we were more often than not expected to put in 60s. No small surprise I told them to fuck off.

Even your irrational anger points to a male in his early twenties. If you want to be more convincing you have to work on that kind of stuff.

I climbed cell towers for 70 hours a week for $14 an hour. Tell me about your terrible working conditions in an air conditioned warehouse @ 15$ an hour again?

Ever been lit up by wasps 400' up a ladder?

Think it's the worst thing in the world not being able to go to the bathroom when you want? Shit off the side of a tower and come back to me about how unfair your working conditions are.

You sound like a fucking pussy to me.

So you made $14/hr 40 years ago when it was actually worth something and boomers hadn't been able to fuck the economy 6 ways from Sunday? You sound like you're full of shit
