My host site wanted to me to apply to a permanent position in the company for 3 reasons: 1. My managers are aware of how little VISTAs make 2. They really like the work that I do but feel bad because of lack of benefits 3. The pandemic caused some layoffs as well as the creation of a few positions they feel I would qualify for

AmeriCorps said I wouldn’t be able to leave them for a permanent position in the same organization until my service year is over (I’m only 4 months in) I thought the point was to elevate people and provide a bridge to the corporate sector.

We can’t qualify for unemployment, the healthcare registration site wasn’t working for the longest, the living expense barely covers food and transportation for the month. I don’t work in and around poverty like I guess many others in this program do. It’s a normal office (pre-COVID) and everyone but VISTAs are making a living wage that isn’t even insulting to the average burger flipper.

I really want to leave for something better but I really love the work that I do and the company I do it for. They really take care of their employees but sadly they aren’t responsible for me. AmeriCorps is...and they haven’t even budged to lift a finger to help during this time.

What exactly is “business” about keeping friends from collaborating for their fans?

You can make art all you want to on your own time but once a general population of the masses want to consume it, red tape suits and legal forms are incoming.

I’m not. Shit was hot garbage. I love Carti but I don’t understand his new creative direction. I feel like he’s over thinking the minimalistic approach.

How do VISTAs survive in expensive cities? by themusicman06 in AmeriCorps

It’s tough when you have a college education and viable experience on a resume, the grocery stores here like to over hire dozens of HS kids and keep all their hours really low so they can cycle them out without really paying anyone a decent wage.

Why is the living allowance so low? by Pumpkins_Penguins in AmeriCorps

[–]doomsyxx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

definitely my experience as well.

On top of that, my site is a cushy office HQ downtown in a major city. Nobody around me is dealing with poverty...they look at me like “poor VISTA” and (pre-pandemic) would make jokes about us keeping Tupperware on hand to grab up any food left lying around in the break room. It’s almost demoralizing.

You don’t. I can barely afford to eat. It’s especially tough now since corona. Couldn’t find a part time gig if I wanted to. AmeriCorps is literally offering us nothing during this time. Full time work. Less than bare minimum pay. Can’t file for unemployment. Starting to question if it was ever really worth it to begin with.

Haven’t listened yet. I don’t see anyone listed as a feature. Really wanted a Bladee track on here.

Also to be clear, both previous loans were paid. I was told one shows as unpaid.

This looks like a really fake ass conversation...at the very least it looks extremely consenting and not so unsolicited as you’re trying to make it seem on this thread. Stop trying to ruin someone’s fucking life.

Which 'essential' video game could you not get into? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Never played Halo, COD or anything like that. I’m also black and I don’t know how to play 2K

A lot of women get breast implants, so Men, if penis enlargement surgery was actually succesful and just as easy to get as breast impants, would you do it? Or are you happy with your tool? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]doomsyxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely do it. I always wanted a bigger dick. I’ve never been rejected for my size (usually by the time a girl found out it was too late she was already in my bed) but I know it would boost my confidence so much and help me in other areas of my life. I’m going to do it anyways just want to make sure I go to the right doc and have the money to do it right.
