I only hit fast apply to the first 3 jobs i saw on indeed because I have a fucking job I just want unemployment to pay me to sit around all summer like is my god given right (if they don't want school employees between terms to get money... maybe tell me Im not eligible!) but the state I live in has this dumb fucked to death work search requirement of three work related contacts per week or else I don't get paid
Anyway, one of them was for a private chef gig in a small suburb of the city i work in. They listed fuckin $14-17 per hour as the wage. To be a private chef running this client's kitchen. What??? I make $17.50 now to cook 3 dishes for 40-50 people and sit on my phone all day when they're not eating my food. If some bourgeois prick wants me to be their personal chef man like I think that's a $24/hr job minimum compared to what i have now
Anyway, fuck my job, fuck new jobs, fuck the unemployment office, can't wait to get paid for the week of nothing i did last week!
They added this stupid fucking tracking shit though so i don't want to lie about it and then they want phone records showing i called people and i didn't or whatever
Wait, really? How do they even verify that?
Since my last UI application they added a step before weekly certification where it asks if you did your good boy work search bullshit and you have to log it to proceed
I assume they have very little manpower to audit stuff but it's supposed to be MY responsibility to keep a fucking log for FIVE YEARS.
I was just not doing that and lying because my job gave me an email saying "this guy has a job he's coming back to please exempt him from the bullshit" and my plan if i got audited was to be like "oh sorry my job gave me this and said i didn't need to do that stuff" and hope i don't get penalized. But now if they audit me they'll have a log of specific contacts to reference and the google lying machine said they can demand phone records to prove calls, etc.
Those are almost entirely scare tactics that aren't backed up by actual action they take with any regularity.
