Why wouldn’t the current cuts stay permanent?

>>260
The cuts were deep enough that they're either going to have to bring some of their former employees on as consultants for exorbitant fees or bring in some fresh blood.

>>258
i assume most of these factories supply box springs or one obscure part for a defense contractor?

>>259
Trump signed order freezing all hiring which is still in effect so you're unlikely to get hire right now

>>259
could it finally be my chance to get a do-nothing government IT job

How the hell do you find a job? I have no idea what I should be looking for.

>>263
Metal wire, some of which definitely becomes springs in guns but there’s a lot of civilian use for it too

>>266
spam apply on the job sites?

>>264
OK OP hang in there long term career wise your future is looking 👌
After what's happened who wants to work in the public sector, the only benefit over the private sector it had was job security and a sense of purpose in public service.

Just spam apply, lie on your resume if you have to to get interviews, just use those interviews as Training runs.

As in, you don't want this thalomide job anyway but you want to do a bit of basic research about the position and the specific enterprise beforehand and bombard them with questions, pay conditions, what do you do? Why do you do it and if it's for this reason this way would work better.

>>127
Somewhere in Africa or Asia, some random dude hired themselves by building their own home outside of a city’s borders and digging their own property.

It’s never over as long as you still have your body

>>272
>Just spam apply
Literally the worst thing you can do right now. Everywhere you're automatically filtered for doing this. The best thing you can do if you're a PMC/Labor Aristocrat is reach out directly to hiring managers. I don't know about service and manufacturing sadly so can't give any advice there.

>>274
Why would that be the worst? IF they're gonna turn you down anyway, might as well maximize your chances

>>274
i think spam applying is more for new grads. Yeah you can 'reach out to hiring managers' if you have 5+ Years of experience and/or you personally know them

Barefoot Investor.

Yea or Nay?

>>274
>yo this person applied to too many jobs, filter his ass
What a stupid myth you're trying to create.

>>274
>>276
You can also go over their heads.
>>286
Just use different accounts for your resume spam and for serious business.

>>271
Sorry I mean how the hell do I find a job I want to do?

I work in automotive and a company-wide e-mail sent by the CEO just announced a total hiring freeze because of the trade war, lul.

>>76
its in your rational interest to look for higher income as long as you dont sell out your coworkers and, if you reach a higher up position, help them as much as you can. There are human bosses but never forget that in a systemic and global way, the class struggle is still real even if you got the better cut as a laborer.

>>77
wrong, to be a petit burgeoise you have to own means of production, a high salary worker does not own anything besides his technical skilled labor

>>92
Stop using anime. You're outing yourself as a right-winger.

>>379
>Anime is fascist

I remember when anime was considered "commie"

>>379
Please go outside

How did that go?

> IT support 1st level here for a company
> Am i being turned into a labor aristocrat?
Anon please, the labour aristrocracy is an abused classification. You're just a prole who was lucky enough to get a decent boss
>>77
>>80
Why do all morons think that proletarian, bourgeois and labour aristocrat categories are descriptors of one's side in the class war, instead of being the various factions of society than already exist?
You can have class traitors all over the place, from police to Engels

>>446
>Engels
???

>>451
Famous class traitor

Are there any decent entry-level jobs where I could make a difference?

Has anyone worked in the food service industry? Is it hell? I feel like it's hell.

>>1071
It is.
The fact that it's been commonalised by childrearing adults for labor instead of students is part of why

>>1067
what do you mean by "make a difference"? during the tech bubble you could have entry level positions with lots of responsibilities thrusted into their lap since they have to make every single little gremlin count, and you could really shine provided you slaved away, but not only is that no longer the case, it's also not worth it tbh

>>1119
I'd ideally like to do something meaningful, something that makes a positive difference in the world. Right now I do technical support for boomers who can't get their emails from Trump and I hate it.

>>34
Bruh its the opposite.
Informal labor is hated upon by everyone.
Irony is, the bureaucratic jobs people try to seek get less prospects of employment especially nowadays.

I meet people who do informal labor and depending if they save their money and spend their time wisely end up with steady employment enough to get by.

>>127
This.
Adults accuse teenagers of being lazy for not having jobs but then put excessive liability laws to prevent them from being independent.
At this point, the world governments should put population control on people.
How is it sustainable to bring babies into this world when adults cannot find stable good-paying jobs?

>>1130
>>1067
People who ask this question usually aren't willing to follow through with doing it.
But if you're serious, be a social worker or a counselor for troubled youth.
Or be a senior care aide.
Or be a kitchen worker for migrant workers.
Or do community service.

But those probably aren't gonna be up your alley.

>>146
I think the problem is you're looking too much at the economic prospect promised and not the difficulties.

It's funny how LeftyPol looks down on students as non proles but defend non-working adults on the basis of "adulting is too hard".
At least students are busting their ass to earn their autonomy.

After like 5 years of overemployment, I'm finally getting a severance from J1, that's insane because it seemingly looked like solid long-term employment in a big bank, CS is fucked, should I fall for the masters degree in AI meme?

>The 1960s-era program put at-risk youth to work, but the Labor Department concluded its costs were too high and that privately-run facilities were rife with sexual abuse and other violence.
Sounds like a pedpohile harem program more than a jobs program. But seriously. I know there are job centers and all that and maybe I haven't looked into it enough, but why is it not like advertised everywhere? Why isn't their billboards like:

>Hey! Need a job you bum? Come down to the government job center and we'll find you one!

>>1159
In fact, they should have an immediate work guarantee with a same day payout while they find you a full time permanent position. Pay people to go around and pickup trash for the day or whatever else they do in community service. It should be guaranteed work with immediate cash payout like those gig work apps. They should also offer as long a range of hours as possible for people who really need more money immediately.

>>1160
>>1159
That's why we should encourage secondary school students to have jobs like these instead of only having excessive extracurricular activities.
Being a student sucks money-wise

>>1158
Why does LeftyPol suggest population control of males to control inceldom but then get offended at the offer of population control relative to a dwindling job market

>>1160
They really seemed to discourage working in HS so much. I grew up in California and you needed a permission slip from your school to get a job. The conditions were that your grades needed to by high enough. Isn't that ironic? The people that weren't on the road to college and all that were the ones they kept from getting minimum wage positions before they hit 18 and their parents kick them out or whatever might happen to them.

>>1163
Oh yeah and that's some shit too. We should definitely have some kind of housing for people once they hit 18 and their parents can legally turn them out on their ass and these kids have no credit history or no idea how to get get a bank account, file taxes, pass credit checks, blahh blahh whatever minimum shit they need to know to at least be able to pay for a roof over their head.

>>1164
And I mean we should have one specifically for these like 18-22 year olds or whatever combined with a program aiding them to learn how to do the basics of paying your way in life with no family to help you.

>>1165
Already no the answer to why we don't have these things:
>If that was available, why would anyone join the military?
Yet people still don't. It would be much better if all these people didn't get their start to their adult life in "street life" and all that kind of shit. Maybe the military should just pay more if they have trouble with recruiting.

I can only speak for tech, but spam applying is a meme that just makes you depressed. It's the cause of those "I've applied to hundreds of jobs and only got a handful of callbacks" sob stories. That and most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them. One well crafted email to the manager or HR is worth at least 10 spam applications and takes less time.

>>1163

>>1166
Secondary school (grade six thru twelve) should have mandatory life skill training.
Community service should be done as a substitute for class time during spring semester.

>>1168

This sounds like something a boomer would say.
And ironically, it's always the more senior experienced college educated workers who seem to have the most entitlement.

Am over a hundred applications in, so needless to say have some experience \s.
So far my tips are as follows:
- Through nepotism or other questionable means secure something like a very part time internship.
- Pretend this internship was actually a job, and that you have experience.
- Spend all of your spare energy, which you should have a lot of, coding.
- Pay special attention to what employers are asking for in their listings, and learn this stuff.
- Use AIder to generate most of your code.
- Enroll in an online graduate program so that you can pretend you're really a graduate student.
- Use Jobright or another AI platform to rewrite your resume, and generate cover letters for you to edit.
- Spam apply to anyone using your tech stack.
- Use family connections to get a professional at a staffing agency to help you.
- Drink lots of coffee.
There, these are my tips, and soon you'll be over one hundred just like me!

Diamond in the ruff, guess.

>>1172
It's true though, both parts.
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them
Knew so many people in my program who looked down on me for taking a university IT job. Some of them still unemployed when I left that job after half a year
>One well crafted email to the manager or HR is worth at least 10 spam applications and takes less time
You might as well copy paste your resume into the trash can if you don't try to put it in front of a human. Only using ATS is a retard filter. The HR guy at my old job told me as much (before they stopped hiring and started outsourcing to latam).

>>1175
>IT job.
Isn't "using someone else's PC" a totally different skill set from programming?
How could you get a job where your qualifications are completely orthogonal?
e.g. wtf is active registry, just know it's somehow related to gconf which had never been installed on my machine?
And there's apparently a whole suite of Microsoft tools for when LaTeX isn't installed, etc.
And then there's the part where you're supposed to explain things to people.

>>1175
>most STEM grads being entitled pricks who won't accept a job they think is beneath them
A bad job can potentially pigeonhole your career and doom you to a dead-end niche which will be hard to get out of

>>1175
>It's true though, both parts.


Which "both parts"?
Alot of STEM grass are stuck in deadens jobs with suboptimal pay and they're accused of entitlement?
