  • It’s always good to hear that there are still people who see fair treatment!

    Your field can make a difference, but I think it really depends on the breadth of your skillset, timing, luck and location if you’re an office drone.

    This happened to me several years ago, and the conditions weren’t the best because I had recently decided to change careers. I had low experience in my chosen field, but it ended up being worth the pain.

    Doing well now, and the combination of career experience opened a lot of doors. Mom would be proud! :)


  • Appreciate your idealism, but this is the ugly new reality in the US if you’re not adequately situated to tell them to pound sand.

    There are very few people in that position, and they gotta eat. The economy is bad, but it’s trending toward perpetual dogshit for an overwhelming majority.

    The bigger the company, the more I find that they rely on desperation to keep costs low because they can take it a bit further than they used to.

    Believe me… I once had the opportunity to take a year off. It was glorious, and I’lL f’N dO iT aGaIn.
