Plenty of jobs here in the USA if you’re okay with taking on 60 hour/week workloads under massive stress. Before about two years ago, the only time I’d heard profanity at work was when directed towards computers or in humorous circumstances. Now I’m hearing it directed at people with frightening sincerity.
Also, now any contracts we get are divvied into one year chunks, meaning that even though we know we need to hire more people the next year, we don’t have contracts in place to be allowed to hire them until it’s too late to adequately spin them up.
I start a new job after the holidays if you must know.
Have you been to work? It sucks!
It’s not like I waited for unemployment to run out before I started looking. I’ve been looking the whole time. It takes awhile.
I mean what do you want people to tell you? If you are out of work, you have to find a new source of income. Simple as that. It’s not awesome, but babbling on about baracading yourself in your house with a bunch of guns and knives isn’t going to help people find work.
Your reply, “Idonno. Go to work I guess.”, in answer to the OP, sounded to me like someone who was waiting for the checks to end before going to work.
Sorry, my mistake.
Like I said, everyone I know of who is unemployed is looking work. Something that pays better than minimum wage.
Fall down a set of stairs and snap off the top of your wristbone. Since you have no insurance, get minimal care that leaves your hand officially disabled. Get on permanent disability for life.
(Just in case) I was also being facetious – 60 hr/wk stressful jobs are scarce, and I know a bunch of people who’d give their left nut for a stressful job right now. I can’t fathom how we can decide that companies are too big to fail and that we need to pay farmers subsidies for strategic imperatives, but paying unemployment when there are no jobs is just going to encourage indolence. I’ll end now, before I go off on a rant.
unemployment checks around here are just about enough for one person to put gas in the car to look for work, look nice, eat, and sleep on a relatives couch.
I believe it.
