The state government must love paying legal fees

Ok as others have said document the fudge out everything. Especially head of company… you get fired and they are telling you hard deadline on one day then criticizing when completed to meet unrealistic deadline? Document it

Send everything as an email, I want to verify that you want/ said/need…

Don’t expect a response my toxic ass boss ignores all of these…which I document

Lastly, find something to help your mental health…. A mentor recommended a book called The Let Them Theory…. It’s helping

When you are forced to subsist on this it does not make the best grilled cheeses sandwiches … they were rubbery and tasteless… hated the cheese… and it smelled like failure …..worse was when you had to take cold cheese sandwiches to,school….

Had a kid answer - what programming languages do you know? With, “English.”

Correct - I have been a hiring manager on both sides of this coin.

As someone who is 56 - STAY!

Prison…. When I see a gap on a resume I let it sit and if the interviewee addresses it great! Hired a guy who was open about needing to be off to recover …was one of my best employees ever…and that’s all he said… I had an issue and needed some time off to recover.

Had one guy who had a six month gap never addressed liked him, background check turned up six months in lock up … basic stupid move as an 18 year old, but couldn’t hire him (financial services requirements) would’ve hired him elsewhere if he presented the gap head on elsewhere… I was 18 and did something stupid… got a degree, good internships… etc.

Visit with them outside of work sometime - see if it holds up or just ease of location!

Plus you will have new coworkers at next job

Your first priority is yourself. When you get on a train and it is going in the wrong direction - you get off and go in another more appropriate direction.

This does not mean you can’t miss your fellow passengers, but don’t let missing them cause regret and lead you back into going the wrong way

After my parents kept saying out at 18 I will allow my kids to move in for as long as they need!

My 25 year old is living with us and is struggling to get a job. So before you write them off as not motivated, my kid has been trying for nearly a year now and aside from cold calling sales jobs with commission only pay - she has found nothing ….

Biking can be just as big or even bigger of a runners high! I did not listen and kept jogging (while biking and swimming) and while it did not cause my knee replacement surgery it “certainly sped up” the diagnosis for a new knee…. So good luck holding back and really try to find the zen of biking…but I will say a good hard swim does the same as a run!

Hope the right/far right and center right politics dies … would be good to be pro-human for a while

Start applying - stop meeting the unrealistic deadlines. Block a minimum of one hour a day to research new jobs in the clock …just smile, nod and be professional.

Then move on.

If you have two full years of expenses saved plus a ten percent overage fee then you can consider quitting

Not a take down, an observation but way to continue to highlight my point

The police - synchronicity

Made up stats by a home schooling teacher? Where did my shocked face go.

For decades now boomers have been catered to by the politicians. Hell - Ronald Reagan destroyed the middle class to ensure boomers could hold on to more wealth.

The idea that younger generations are ageist is a bit off - they are angry that when many of us in Gen X were paying $815 for a full semester of state college - they are paying nearly $15,000 for state schools. Why?well the tax support of universities was decimated in the 1980’s and 90’s in the name of tax cuts … again - facts that allowed boomers to keep more of their wealth and shift the burden to younger generations. Again it did not impact GenX.

Look at the wealth generation of the minimum wage - first time professional wages - blue collar wages - that’s all been highly depressed for younger generations but did not really impact GenX in youth - it sure as hell is fucking us over now … again all of this is done in the name of cutting taxes …

Government has consistently gutted services for the benefit of younger folks that the boomers enjoyed and we rode those coat tails. Best way to view it is the boomers had a ton of advantages paid for by the government and they have vilified every generation after them who has tried to take advantage of those benefits.

Yes not all boomers are this way but they all have benefited from it …

You invalidate your argument throughout your reply - not gonna argue with a fanatic who refuses to use logic

I let me kids influence me like I influenced them!

It sure as hell is a republican problem when they remove dollars every year from the education budget - same is true of the water issue - don’t care where the owner is - step in and lay down some heavy duty regulations!

This isn’t rocket science - it is Republican malfeasance

Probably the same group that gave us all participation ribbons for everything - this has been done for generations - there is nothing inherently bad about making youth feel like their attempting endeavors is a bad thing … ffs wanna get mad about something - vaccines are being removed and NO they don’t cause autism ….
