#i hate being unemployed

[angadgautama]

There were many desires in my heart,

All remained unfulfilled.

The dam i built with decades of hard work,

collapsed in a few years.

I had only heard about unemployment.

But now I have seen,

How powerful the storm of unemployment can be.

YA BITCH HAS GOT HERSELF A JOB INTERVIEW ‼️

"kids these days don’t want to work"

Oh, no. Kids want to work, because no work means no money, but the job market is laughing at us.

University/College is a big scam, unless you really want to become an engineer or a pc nerd.

My parents paid for a useless law degree and NOW I have to pay more money for a fucking accountant course for unemployed people, because it's impossible to find a job with my profile.

Education system is just a way to steal working class money.

right when I thought i had secured a job, found something i wnjoyed doing, it was taken from me just as quickly without reason, was i not good enough? did I not make a good impression? wasn't I worth enough to keep around/give another go? I was improving, finally getting a hang of the tasks that were set upon me, and slowly picking up the pace without making mistakes, I did all that just to be let go at the end of my shift. I was doing my best, but clearly it wasn't enough. I no longer want to work anymore, ive been searching for an entire year for work only to not be hired, like I actually give up, what's the point? might aswell just take myself out atp

The fact that I’m literally getting rejected from jobs that are positions I’ve already held before and jobs that require no experience is crazy 😭. Like whats the point of having a degree, certifications, and experience if you still can’t get a job with them

[battleangel]

Suicides are up & noone is reporting this.

Most of the job postings on job boards are fake.

CAPITALISM IS A FUCKING DEATH CULT!

As someone who graduated w/ a humanities degree I want to let fellow humanities people know that

you’re not a failure for not having your dream job straight out of college/university

if it takes a long ass time for you to get that job, it’s normal

some of these people will say very unhelpful, un-uplifting things and you gotta ignore them

I don’t want to get too vulnerable, but I don’t have any comments about the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope we all get through there.

Please help a young trans woman with medical bills!!

I decided to launch this after seeing that I and my parents (who are helping me through this process) will be in medical debt for a long time.

In my area I have not been able to get a job due to me being transgender. During my recovery I will be getting a lawyer to help me with changing my legal name and gender that way after I am fully recovered, there'd be no way for any potential employer to know I'm trans and would not discriminate and would hire me.

I'm in a very conservative, religious area in a Republican state. So funds are not only going to my medical debt but also to my lawyer AND a way for me to move out of the state and into a safer, more accepting location.

If you can spare even a single dollar, that would be so incredibly helpful. And if you can't, please at least share this!

Really want a job because my unemployed ass keeps wanting to go on book shopping sprees but I HAVE NO MONEY

[positive-masculinity-enjoyer]

McDonalds doesn't want to accept my CV due to an "Internal Error".

Well, I guess I'll take my competent ass to work somewhere else, you ungrateful fuck.

Trust me, I would rather be doing anything else but this right now. But since I'm a lost cause who had to go and log in to Instagram and so is the rest of the world, I cannot help it.

Anjali from KKHH did nothing wrong.

She loved Rahul. She was always honest to herself and to everyone else about that. She had made it clear that settling down with Aman was a compromise. Aman himself was well aware of it. So, when she found out that the man she had always loved reciprocated her feelings, pray tell me what else she should have done? Or, rather, give me one valid reason why she should have gone ahead and married Aman? Why should she have entered into a relationship she wasn't invested in emotionally and could never be?

Let's disregard emotions, forget this is supposed to be a fictional romantic drama film, and view it from a purely practical and realistic perspective then: Rahul was a pretty well adjusted guy and financially stable. He had a clean record. He was a responsible single dad. Relationships clearly held a lot of value for him for him because it took him years to move on after his wife's death.

"But...but....Anjali wasn't Rahul's first choice. He would have never fallen for her had Tina been alive."

Here is the thing. Rahul might have been immature in his college days but falling for Tina was not a grave error on his part. He also never knew of Anjali's feelings for him. How was all that his fault? Secondly, people do find love again. It is possible. Both in reality and in fiction. Tina was lost to Rahul, he mourned her and had stayed true to her memory for nearly a decade. He developed feelings for Anjali mostly because there was a degree of familiarity and comfort between them, one which close friends share with one another. It aligns with the theme of the story that love is friendship. Rahul couldn't have fallen for anyone else save for the one he considered a dear friend. It happened to be Tina at first and Anjali later on.

"But Anjali was engaged to Aman........."

As I've mentioned earlier, Anjali had years to get over her feelings for Rahul. She didn't. Knowing that Rahul loved her back, that she had a legit chance to be with him and didn't take it, she would have been miserable in her marriage to Aman and he would have been equally miserable, if not more. It was a sureshot recipe for disaster.

"But Aman was such a nice guy. Such a green flag. It wasn't fair........."

He could have been the nicest guy to have walked the earth. But that still doesn't entitle him to Anjali's love and body. She was human and not a trophy to be wrapped and handed over to him for his goodness.

"Aman made such a huge sacrifice by letting Anjali marry Rahul........"

No, he didn't. Taking the decision to not force someone who isn't into us when they are bound by obligations, societal or otherwise, and we aren't, is only the reasonable thing to do when placed in such a situation. It isn't a mark of greatness but bare minimum decency and common sense which needs to be normalized.

“no one wants to work!”

i have applied to over 50 places in the last 5 months, i’ve even (now that we’re getting to that season) applied for seasonal because at this point i’ll take anything

i have heard nothing back even after calling, i’ve had countless emails sent back to me and all of them were rejection emails, i’ve even applied at the walmart my brother works at (he even asked about my application after i put it in), heard nothing even after calling

the thing is it’s not that no one wants to work, no one is able to work. getting a job and being able to survive day to day should not be this hard.

[bitter-sweetener]

Another day another scream into my pillows because capitalism is so crippling and I can't get myself to do even one of the things I've been thinking about doing.

Job Hunting

I honestly hate being unemployed. Not because I have no income and I'm stuck living with my parents - that parts whatever, but because everyday when I open my laptop and settle in for a long pointless search for jobs that aren't going to magically come up from the ether of the internet, I feel that crippling sensation of failure.

A failure that technically isn't my fault. I have all the different types of CVs ready to go, I have the degree under my belt, I have three different part-time job experiences listed on my CV and yet- no job.

And I have applied to things okay? I've applied for jobs I know I'll hate, I've applied for jobs I've felt giddy about, I've applied for jobs that are part-time, temporary, contract, apprenticeship blah blah blah.

But job hunting is literally the most soul crushing experience for me and not because of the rejections - those will come and I 've had enough now to not really care - but the absence of jobs.

People say that the job market is booming and I'm like... where? In what world? Because there are no vacancies in the shops, in the cafes, in the restraunts, there are no jobs for entry level graduates who are trying to get a job.

I know a guy with a Masters in Chemistry and he's stuck in Subway ffs.

I just feel like screaming sometimes.

I applied to work in a warehouse today. Not really sure how 5ft no-muscles-me is gonna make that work but... at least it pays... right?

Seriously though, I hate the way people make the job industry sound like its so in need of people, when there are no jobs for people. And if there are jobs you're either not experienced enough for the role or you didn't study the correct type of degree in University.

Anyone else feeling the crushing weight of being unemployed and being 'part of the problem for the economy'?

Let me know if you feel the same, cause this shit is lonely.
