Job hunting is so depressing these days

seamoose23

A Burger King application asked me how I felt about staying more than 1 hour after my shift ended to do the job right without extra pay and the choices were

1. I would not be willing to stay late

2. Only in emergency situations

3. WHATEVER IT TAKES (in all caps)

I applied at red lobster and it asked me to input my “expected starting wage” and the “example” given was lower than minimum wage

basically I feel like these questionnaires are trying to figure out how little you value yourself as a person

My advice to you is that if you wanna do something totally different and reinvent a little part of yourself but you’re afraid people will think you’re trying too hard: just do it anyway.

In high school there was a girl who wore heels every single day and I was so envious. I wanted to wear heels but I was a huge tomboy growing up and no one thought of me as feminine and I was worried people would think I was being “fake,” or trying too hard.

But one day I wore a pair and I got a lot of remarks, not all of them nice. And then I wore another and another until one day a girl said to me “I wish I could wear heels like you and [the girl I envied] but I couldn’t pull it off.”

And I realized I’d become known for wearing heels and it was just a thing I did now and nobody questioned it.

I know this is such a small thing but I have held on to this lesson throughout my young adulthood because it’s proven true again and again with bigger things like my career and my sexuality

When you first step out of the idea of yourself other people have accepted or invented and express a part of you that they don’t know, it’s scary. People like to think they know you you, and challenging their perception of you threatens them.

That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to express who you are.

You’re not fake or trying too hard just because you decide to share a new side of yourself!!!

This!

I also heard somewhere that often times the more you procrastinate on something, the more that thing probably threatens your perception of yourself. Like that thing would mean reinventing a bigger piece of yourself.

Idk how true it is, but since I heard that if I find myself procrastinating on something, instead of getting angry at myself or labeling myself as lazy, I try to reconcile the shift in identity. Ex. ‘I don’t have to whine about chores like a teenager now, I can take pride in making my home look good’ or ‘Even though I have never finished a project like this myself before, doesn’t mean I can’t.’ or ‘i have always thought of exercise as a gym rat thing, but it is really just an important slice of any well-balanced life’

It is not a magic bullet to suddenly get everything done, but I have found that it helps chip away at barriers to improve habits. Also it helps prevent the shame loop of ‘i didn’t do the thing’ -> ‘i am bad for not doing the thing’ -> ‘i end up procrastinating on doing a thing because i think of myself as someone who is bad and doesn’t do things’ -> ‘i don’t do more things’.

Abolish unpaid internships, bring back apprenticeships.

destrochao

"You don't have to pay me, but I'm going to live with you from now on."

sindri42

Apprenticeships are still a thing in most of the trade unions. Like, how you become an electrician is you start out as an apprentice and they simultaneously have you do grunt work for a real electrician and take classes on how electricity works. You start out at close to minimum wage but every like 6 months of work plus exam you pass gives you another fraction of the pay a real electrician gets, until three years later you’re an actual professional and suddenly you’re in charge of training the next set of apprentices while they do your grunt work for you.

charlesoberonn

Do this, but for everything.

I. Am. Disgusted. SIGNAL BOOST this!! This is unacceptable! We need to remember what pride is and what we stand for.

socialistexan

The gall of these people trying to call the cops on a black trans woman at the Stonewall Inn on the very anniversary of the riot (I’m sure they totally understood the irony of it) and then call her the fascist.

It’s beyond parody. This is why I’m sick of Pride being treated as a corporate party rather than a protest and why we need to teach the history of our movement because this is either appalling ignorance or outright and open bigotry.

I’m all for Black women entrepreneurs.

Here is a great article which focuses on the fact that while Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the country, they still have a ton of obstacles holding them back from reaching their full entrepreneurial potential.

I don’t get how people are just…so nasty to their servers.

I went out to eat today at a pizza place and my waitress brought me a refill without me asking and I was like, “Oh thanks so much!”

And she just got the most startled look on her face, like she was flustered that I had said thank you of all things.

When she came back a few minutes later with the check, I complimented her socks (they had a super cute pretzel pattern on them and I’m a sucker for fun socks) and her face absolutely LIT up. We had like a three minute conversation about how they’re the only part of her outfit she can really customize, having a uniform and all that, and she left with a grin on her face.

But the fact that she seemed surprised that someone was being nice to her was just so upsetting to me.

Your servers are human. Treat them like it.

crsinclair

As a previous server (left restaurant biz due to health problems), I can say that this is not only a problem, but a major issue. I had one lady “ask” me to throw a bit of trash away for her, and before I could reply with a positive, she literally balled up her trash and tossed it in my face. It bounced off my glasses and landed on the floor. And she didn’t think anything of the fact that she literally just threw her trash at me, just raised a brow and asked if I was going to pick it up.

Servers are human. Please stop treating them as trash.

If I had seen someone do that I literally would have gone off I’m so sorry you had to deal with that

lumateranlibrarian

I always, always thank my servers constantly, especially if I’m in a nice restaurant or dining area where they’re expected to clean up after us as we eat. Or fill our water glasses. Or offer us new silverware. It’s so important to treat these people with respect.

JUST BECAUSE IT’S THEIR JOB TO SERVE YOU DOES NOT MEAN THEY EXIST TO SERVE YOU

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.— James 5:1-6
