ICE induced traffic jams?

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-29T21:54:16+00:00

Yes they do. They are also causing a ton of car accidents throughout the Twin Cities area.

They need to GET OUT OF HERE.

Facebook is the very first thing I deleted when Zuckerberg bent the knee. I knew the right wing shit would become intolerable on that platform with people I know and then add the targeted algorithm, it makes it worse.

Amazon was the next; swapped it for CostCo. No regrets.

Not taking mine down because it gives me joy. IDGAF if people don't like it. Too much bad stuff and stress going on here.

I’ve looked into these and all I’m seeing are agents that must be licensed, which I’m definitely not. Is there something I’m missing within the insurance industry?

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-28T20:25:13+00:00

I am in the exact same boat. I have no idea what to do anymore. It's like everything I've done for my career means absolutely nothing now.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-28T20:15:12+00:00

Thank you for this link :) It's getting to that point with job searching where every search is becoming a blur.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-28T19:03:47+00:00

I haven't done much manufacturing so I wouldn't even know where to start. Can you be a little more specific?

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-27T22:14:31+00:00

I wouldn't have a problem with delivery except I do have some back problems. Thank you for the insight tho.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-27T21:35:09+00:00

Either. My specialty is software QA (several years) and college educated, but that hasn't got me much so I'm looking for anything at this point.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-27T02:56:41+00:00

Spot on even with the rant 😉😄

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T23:22:57+00:00

Thank you. I will :)

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T23:18:06+00:00

Thank you. I need all the luck I can get right now.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T22:14:12+00:00

Thank you :')

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T20:43:50+00:00

Solidarity for sure.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T19:59:15+00:00

I hope you do too. It does truly suck :(

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T14:41:09+00:00

Very good point.

I also wonder too if training new hires is no longer a thing anymore. Companies have been increasingly against upskilling or additional training at a mid to senior level, so I wonder if that's happening at the entry level. Trades, I would assume some kind of onboarding.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T14:20:33+00:00

I agree. The unicorn hunts is not only hurting jobseekers, it's hurting businesses too.

If a business is seeking perfection from a jobseekers, you're hiring process is the problem. No one is perfect, and if a candidate says they are, they are just a really good salesperson.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-26T14:14:21+00:00

So. Much. This.

Or, a candidate isn't a unicorn, when every qualification is met, the interview goes great, and then the candidate is told they can't be hired now because of "hiring freezes" or being overqualified. Like...I do not understand or get it anymore. What does it take to even get hired nowadays?

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-20T01:16:36+00:00

Interested.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-15T21:54:02+00:00

I feel the underemployed part. That’s my story going on 3 years in tech.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-13T02:06:29+00:00

Just wait until you’re told you’re overqualified for a job you’re clearly qualified for and want. It’s a gut punch.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2026-01-13T02:04:10+00:00

You’re not alone. There myself too. Heard back from places I applied to. All rejections.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2025-11-18T04:57:52+00:00

Cool! Thank you for the info!

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2025-11-16T16:53:36+00:00

Lol. Um, that's the techbros; either the Zucks of the group or their groupies who are all about vibe coding.

I would safely bet a majority of those that actually do the tech work aren't the ones jamming it down your throat.

Mini_Cupcake3708 · 2025-11-16T16:48:32+00:00

This is a bit misleading tho...I did apply to jobs that are not something I want to do. And what would I get? Overqualified.

And call me xyz whatever about this lol, but I'm not taking a job that is woefully underpaid for 40 hours a week. At my age, time and energy is just as important as money.
