Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Started applying today to put my feelers out there to see if anyone even responds. Like the best I can find is $18 an hour factory work. This was the same kind of work that existed during covid, nothings changed! It's still shit!!

i can't even give my labour away for free (well, not quite for free - i deviously intend to eventually get a reference from them so that i can trade my labour elsewhere for food and housing when i'm well enough).

nobody. ever. responds. even the fuckers who came to an event at the jobcenter where they said they don't require references or experience and it's "basically a guaranteed position".

They literally have no idea what is actually going on in the hiring process, they are just told to say things lol..
