Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.
Thanks for reading my stupid rant.
50 posts and 15 image replies omitted.I finally got a new job. McDonalds, took a few applications to one location to get a call back. Did my training shift, and then got my schedule. I got three 4 hour shifts. The total pay will be less than $150 after taxes.
When I first got hired I felt some relief, finally a job, finally stable income, finally no more e-begging. But the job doesn't pay nearly enough to actually do anything with the money. My weekly rent in this motel is $364 dollars. I'm making less than half that on my current schedule.
It's hard to not feel despair at this, because I will almost certainly be street homeless within the immediate future, even with a job. And it took so long to get hired for even the most basic of jobs that finding a second one seems like it will take just as long.
If I'm street homeless, it will become especially hard to maintain my magazine/website, thankfully I have a team now who works with me and can takeover if I'm in a position to not do it, but still.
Compound that with all the internalized capitalist propaganda I still have within me, the burger flipper narrative, the "useless eater" narrative, and it's a harsh set of emotions. Really doubting myself lately, despite knowing the logic, the statistics, the theory, the feeling of being a "failure" is very strong right now. The feeling that I haven't done enough, haven't worked hard enough, contributed enough to deserve to be housed. I know its a spook, but it still haunts.
