I'm really tempted to just start keeping a log of all the nonsense that goes on with my weekend job on here. I'm not solely dependent on it, just there to pay off some debts. And dear GOD some of the cattiness that goes on is WILD.

The reason I was prompted to write this is because one of the older women working there asked me when I was leaving for the summer. I got her to clarify, she thought I was taking the summer off and that I was a college student working a job. If this woman had listened to a single thing I have said. She would know I've graduated. SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN I'M 28 YEARS OLD.

This is also the woman who kept raising her hand to agree with management when we had a late night meeting and everyone wanted to go home. Grade A bootlicker and local pest that can't read a room.

In this American economy, everyone needs a side-hustle....

The normalization of poverty

Put simply, all that glitters isn’t gold. The reality is that the contemporary ubiquity of side hustles is just another sign of the normalization of poverty wages and our current shitty economy. While a side hustle might indeed shower untold wealth upon many, for others it’s just shiny new packaging on the solution to an old problem: stagnant wages in the face of inflation and the need for two or more jobs to make ends meet.

Like the tiny house craze, the romanticization of the side hustle is a way of normalizing wage stagnation. A family of four was not meant to cohabitate in thirty square feet of impractical, made-for-HGTV decorating during a Michigan winter. And given an affordable choice, I sincerely doubt they would. (Trust not the charlatans of Tiny House Hunters. Theirs is the snake oil of willful discomfort.)

Tiny houses likely started out as a practical solution to rapidly rising housing costs in major cities. But what used to be a way of surviving a tough economy became an Ethical Lifestyle Choice™, a trendy way to display to the world how minimalist and efficient you are.

Likewise, the side hustle. Or rather, as most Americans making minimum wage call it, the second job. It’s something the poor have done out of necessity for ages. But now we slap the fancy label of “side hustle” on the packaging and suddenly it’s a glamorous vocation!

Really what you’re saying with your side hustle is “I am not making enough money to meet my goals with one full time job so I need a second one.” Or even worse: “If I rest I’ll lose my home.”

okay but what do we call the male equivalent of a Karen?

because i’ve worked retail for years, and while i’ve encountered my fair share of the Karens, it’s mostly men who try to talk down to me or get irate with me and yet somehow we don’t have a name for them.......
