I was involuntarily hospitalized last month, eight cops showed up and practically perp walked me. To add insult to injury, it looks like my main guy soft fired me afterwards. I took a week off just to decompress, then applied for a few jobs. One of them made it seem like I was hired, but it's been almost two weeks now and they've ghosted me. I went to another interview, but I wasn't the only applicant, and that's never good. I stopped by another place nearby to fill out an application, but I have no relevant experience, and not a single reference.
So now I've almost burned through the meager amount of savings I even had, and every job I apply to is always "we'll call you back" but they never do. I've tried posting ads on Craigslist and Facebook, nothing. I tried going to a staffing agency half an hour away and there wasn't even an office at the address. I've put up signs and flyers, still nothing.
I'm ready and WILLING to work. I'm young, strong, and able-bodied with no intellectual impairment. Why isn't there some sort of third party where you can basically say "I have four limbs and a heartbeat" and get hired tomorrow? I still really have no idea how any of this works. Why isn't there someone who can just be assigned to me and help me? It makes me feel like a huge baby.
Try looking up some social service non-profits in your area.
go work at mcdonalds or somethhing
Start stealing stuff
i can send 5 bucks
>>816494I can send a few bucks too. Solidarity with a fellow nuthouse veteran.
>>816394Seems like your only option is debt or being homeless. Dont you have any family that can help?
I finally found a job, in fact I got hired the NEXT day. Turns out it's kind of bullshit, which is why it's no wonder they were so desperate to hire me. Furniture assembly for $18/hr. Sounds reasonable enough, right? Except you have to bring your own tools, drive between job sites, sometimes for up to an hour, and they don't even compensate for gas. The customers actually pay at least 5x your hourly rate for assembly, and there's a useless middleman who seemingly does nothing more than coordinate jobs. To add insult to injury, I was looking back through the discussion history on the "team" app they have, and he was saying all sorts of things about how the workers are "losing the company money" because they're completing the shifts AS scheduled instead of essentially doing them with superhuman speed. All you get is a measly "bonus" if you shill his main construction company, meanwhile they're expecting you to "clock in" the SECOND you actually start assembling. Not when you park your car, not when you knock on the door, not when you walk down the hallway. Are they seriously penny-pinching over 2-3 minutes? Why are the petit bourgeois this blatantly vicious? I've only been there a few DAYS and this is already seriously blackpilling. At least I won't starve or become homeless this month…
>>817976your job is a scam. quit now. go work for a big chain grocery store as a shelf stocking monkey. you'll be better off and just as tired.
>>816395I've been to those multiple times but it's seriously lacking. That's the thing, I don't even want handouts. I'm more than willing to WORK. But finding a job this past month felt nearly impossible.
>>816396I went to an interview at Domino's for 8.50 an HOUR. Even they wouldn't hire me.
>>816455I've done that before when I legitimately needed to and ended up with a $600 ticket over a Coke and a chicken wing.
>>816494>>816574I'd feel bad about stealing money from people. If I just went the panhandling/e-begging route I couldn't live with myself.
>>816582I'm already in thousands of dollars of debt and I've been homeless multiple times. My family hardly talks to me anyway.
>>817982It's definitely more of a short term "gig", I'm just surprised this even exists, and the fact that the manager is THIS openly vile towards the workers. There's a cabinet factory literally right down the road from me, paying about the same. It seemed like they were going to hire me ASAP, I thought I could actually save some money for once. After a week, I called, texted, emailed, even went there in person and nobody answered the office door. Is it really all my fault? Yes I'm "neurodivergent" but why can't there just be some system where it's like "I'm unemployed" then some third party connects you with an employer immediately and you start working the next day? Why does the burden have to be on ME? Why would fucking Domino's reject me even though they're paying 8.50 AN HOUR? My living expenses aren't even that high, if I was working an ACTUAL full time job I could seriously take advantage of my situation. I really need some help. I need an assistant to help me be an adult. I can barely even take care of myself and perform basic tasks like brushing my teeth or showering. I'm not even a full blown communist but if I ever needed a bigger blackpill about "the real world", it's this.
>>816394Sell your blood like a real American.
>>816394>I was involuntarily hospitalized last month, eight cops showed up and practically perp walked me.What did you do?
>>818219I made the mistake of admitting my intrusive thoughts to a therapist. I am NEVER going to therapy again.
