Yeah nah I busted my rear end off and got thanked personally on a weekly basis by management/administration and they actually went out of their way to cut me out of the loop on managerial training that I had signed up for, three times not calling me after I had put my name down on the sheet. The also hosed me around and wouldn't let me use the women's locker room or (at first) leave my coat with the front desk, until I started walking to work through blizzards with just my work clothes and they thought I might die and they might get bad publicity or something. But I mean, that was a terrible company by all accounts, so it's not like my experience was special or anything, at least not in the broad sense.

They thanked you by cutting you out of the loop? HA! I love how some companies have this attitude and then show this other face but its not the end of the world. Things will change when they put a women in the office. I myself am looking forward to being not paid three dollars an hour because I'm currently disabled and thats a lot to look forward to.

My dad has a laser printer. LOL. I have INK like photo ink but I don't have any tats in that I've never thought anything I've seen is worthy of being put on my body by anyone other than myself.

The problem with not having a job is when you've been out of work so long no ones give you a chance. It's not like I don't want a job its that as every day goes by I just get worse and worse at actualizing the skills needed to find and keep a job, but this doesn't get me down because hey, once life turns around. It really turns around.

I don't even get callbacks to my followup calls.

I might have to borrow it from you. I'm also considering death by cop at this point, because they're so trigger happy, but I'm white so it might not work.

ALthough I'm fast approaching poverty line so maybe it will?

Use my gun to Rob people. It's win win. Either you get away with it, and get money/find purpose in life, or you don't, and you get killed by cops.

Its a very niche field that you have to know people to get into. If you don't you're hosed. So that's a no go unless I want to write clickbait ads which I'd rather kill myself than do.


There is more honor in being a thief than a guy who writes clickbait articles.

well, whatever you do dont kill yourself

you have a lot to live for and your little articles are so zany

maybe you can submit them to readers digest while you are back living with your parents to get yourself back on your feet?

again, don't kill yourself -your death would be a loss to a field that needs people in it

Plenty of experienced people will tell you once you get your foot in the door its up from there and this is true in theory but it all depends on how hard you work and how much you actually look forward to improving the people you work for and not just doing it for the paycheck. People will notice if you really care and people will thank you in kind.

Until there's a reason to just loving hip check you out out the door. Girl who ran the front desk at my business got unexplained sudden firing. Best guess is the management found a volunteer willing to do most of her job for free (we're kind of half a state park) and they took the first incredibly minor non fuckup as a reason to not get sued over it and save 12 bux an hour or whatever incredibly onerous salary she was pulling down

Best actual non retarded advice is work hard and you might get lucky but you only ever really get ahead by never stopping the job search. You get way more mileage out of overselling yourself and scrambling to cover than you do out of doing an exceptional job and asking for a raise like a civilized person.

If you're passably decent at math certain areas of the country also have an electrician shortage and they will literally pay to train you and if you pass you get a guaranteed gig. Still a scam but a scam you can leverage into work somewhere that isnt poo poo

You seem to say money is the problem but I hope if you are still working there money isn't the reason they fire people because if things get bad, easily seen to happen if you work for the government, you'll start seeing some of your friends disappearing.

That's half of it, the other half is the director is friends with the immediate replacement. This isn't really "government work", just a business that operates on state owned land and enjoys certain tax breaks, as someone who's worked for the USPS. I honestly prefer the paperwork idiot maze of the bureaucracy than the flagrant nepotism and ego-driven decision making of the private sector

The catch is they pay you far less than an electrician would normally be worth and you probably have to sign a noncompete or something. Work two years, get some experience, then just gently caress off to some other part of the country without telling them where, idk

I pride myself in knowing what jobs to take and I do agree electricians are very important in the fact that if the global economy wants to continue expanding... Lets just say I don't have my money on quantum leaping.
