I worked for a batshit insane Iranian princess for 6.5 years, her parents were loaded from being high up in the oil industry there or something. The company was basically her hobby farm, so I got to gently caress around all day when she wasn't looking, which was often. Every day for the first three or four years was like JPOD on meth. I became an alcoholic at one point due to the stress. Anyways, got laid off back in April because I wouldn't stop talking poo poo loudly about how our business model was now cold-calling preteens and stealing money from them. Rode my golden parachute into getting drunk across the caucasus, which is now a part of GBS history. I don't plan to be employed within the next year. Awww yeah EI.

i got a job at a hardware store in January this year. they were hiring for either another cashier or someone to help customers and whatnot. i usually hung around the store while being unemployed for a year cause my friend worked there and when she was done with her shift we'd usually grab dinner or I'd come there for lunch with her and end up bullshitting til the end of her shift, so the people there knew me pretty well already. so i get hired and be a guy helping customers, stocking shelves, and filling propane tanks. when I get hired some older guys lose hours and poo poo and I guess they loving hated that. so I got let go on the reason of "you're doing fine here but another store that just opened up isn't doing very well anymore so we have to cut people, and cause you're new you're first." a week after I got fired my friend said she kept hearing about the older guys being glad I got fired cause they got their hours back. gently caress you

quit my last job because one of the supervisors was a soulless oval office who had full run of the place because the owner was too busy attending charity events and skiing/golfing to actually attend to his only business (also he repeatedly "forgot" to send me my last paycheck until i threatened to file a complaint with the state DoL) learning programming/web design now, hopefully i can soon start applying for jobs that won't put me in competition with middle-aged women who have already spent half their lives doing menial part-time clerical work

Unemployment is cool in theory but since you're working on a limited budget you can't really make the most of your time. And now that summer is wrapping up so you'll be cooped inside?? Yeesh. I'd suggest donating plasma as a way to get out of the house and earn some disposable income.

a few years ago i was driving forklift for a sawmill, when one day due to another worker's negligence a metal band whipped back at me and sliced my arm at the elbow I needed stitches so I went and told the supervisor, who then had me sit in the boss's office and wait from him to come over from the planar mill. The boss showed up with two supervisors who then tried to convince me for about 15 mins to not go to the doctor. I knew it was because it'd ruin their safety streak, which the regular employees no longer got an end of the year bonus for. I insisted and eventually they drove me to the doctor where I got stitches. I was not disciplined for being injured because I didn't break any safety rules. The following week I was driving a massive heavy machinery type forklift. It's front wheel drive only and spun out in some soft gravel at the end of the yard. The old man training me in the area went and got another one just like it and a chain. He hooked them up and pulled me forward about 6 ft. Then we went about the work day. We got called in the office at the end of the day and were told we were in trouble for not filling out safety paperwork on the incident. We were suspended pending an investigation. One week later I was called in to work where I was fired and told that I was showing a pattern of unsafe behavior. The old man went back to work. I filed for unemployment and had to have a hearing with a state attorney and the boss and HR lady from the mill to determine if I was fired for reasons other than they said. I won the case easily as the state attorney found that I had not broken any of their safety rules(of which he had a complete copy for reference), and had been under the direction of another senior employee over towing the forklift. Basically I got fired for going to the doctor and probably could have sued their rear end off. Instead I just got my unemployment that payed me while I attended college, and wasn't required to look for work for two years while getting paid.

If you're seriously looking for a job it's extremely easy to get into a utility company. It does take time but it's a recession proof job. You'd be amazed at the idiots they let control your gas and electricity.

Unemployment sucks. They make you attend mandatory Re-employment sessions where you get to sit with 60 other unemployed people and listen to this dude say it's going to be okay, and if you want to get hired dont use an email address that says dickcum52@yahoo.com. Then he goes on to explain that companies cannot discriminate against age, race, etc. 40 loving hands go up and are waving in the air asking if they can sue for lots of money if they really ask how old you are, etc. It's so loving sad. It's all white people, too. Like one minority dude sitting in the back thinking "Holy poo poo this is a lot of unemployed white people!". It's loving boring sitting around watching what used to be your hobbies become the most hated thing ever.

I was on food stamps for a while and they made you go to unemployment centers where the lady told us to watch Youtube to learn new skills. Had a temp job that lasted three months but since last December I haven't been able to find full time employment. Been selling all my stuff lately as I'll probably be living out of my car in a month. Do I get to add to the homeless veteran statistic because I don't get any cool veteran points while applying to jobs because I am not broken? Good thing my math degree should make me desirable, oh wait you want a MS or PhD.

You're a vet with a degree? You realize that a lot of states will put vets at the top of the line for interviews, yeah? If the job only takes 10 people to interview, and none of those guys are vets, you're sitting at the number one spot. Other dudes will be bumped off no matter how well their questionnaires/essays were.

If you're talking about the protected veteran status, that only applies if you are recently seperated (withn 2 years), have campaign ribbons, a disabled veteran, or a vietnam veteran. I got out in 2009 and didn't claim disability. Since I was forward deployed in the navy that means I was out to sea near Japan, so no campaign ribbons. I don't get special veteran points. Don't get me wrong, at least I got to to use the gi bill for school. But as far as military experience on my resume, no job seems to give a poo poo. Most people don't even know what sonar is or even what a math degree does. SPACE HOMOS fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Aug 26, 2015 |
