Food is getting hard to get. No money coming in, and the property managemeent company says that they cant do repairs until rents start coming in again

Mar 16, 2020 13:43
@motosubatsu I don't know. Their worrid we might sut down for good

Mar 13, 2020 13:00
I do factory work, I can't work from home.
Mar 10, 2020 13:19
I made good money on tips but what kills you is they tax you on your checks and assume you've been tipped even if you haven't been. Most people are cool but I hear some cities like New York add the tip in because tourists don't know
Mar 10, 2020 12:57
@dwizum I've seen plenty when teres a question about tipping and they go nuts about americans
Mar 9, 2020 19:26
I haven't been around for a while but i don't rememver it being like this
Mar 9, 2020 13:31

Sep 30, 2019 12:47

Sep 30, 2019 12:44
Is this why a bunch of people quit last year?
Sep 30, 2019 12:43
Wow, looks like the next election will be for who turns off the lights.
Sep 25, 2019 15:31
Skin grafts suck
Sep 20, 2019 18:39
@Kaz maybe but at least three of them seemed pissed
Sep 19, 2019 12:10
@Twyxz I just start in here when that happened it looks like a few of them werent very happy
Sep 18, 2019 16:30
@Twyxz I noticed. Why is that?
Sep 6, 2019 17:47
There used to be other people who were in here, what happened? I just see the same 3 or four people now?
Sep 4, 2019 13:34

Sep 4, 2019 12:59

Sep 4, 2019 12:51
Ive done factory work and some other sfuff where they didn't check and the place got closed down but now ive got my ged and the applications want my school and if I graduated and I didn't but I got the ged so I don't even know what to put down
Sep 4, 2019 12:48
I got a question about finding work with a GED intead of a diploma. would this be a good thing to ask, or would it just get close?

Aug 30, 2019 15:37
@Nzall we have unions, but they do more bribing of politicians and protecting their pets than anything else. The laws are a joke because you need to have money for a lawyer and it takes year.
Aug 30, 2019 13:30
I'm just frustrated because theres no good advice for my situation.
Aug 30, 2019 13:29
@motosubatsu I'm just having trouble since the shutdown of my last place. Because of my injury, I'm going through voc rehab (The grafts on my arm scarred and I don't have full use of it) trying to get more work. The last time I asked a question, I got peope telling me how bad America is in the comments. Not helpful. Others said I should see a lawyer over my last job. Lawyers want money to take your case, and even if I had the money, which I don't, I can't wait five years for a judge.
Aug 30, 2019 13:02
any people who work in "blue collar" jobs ever come here. I got a few more questions and the answers I been getting don't tell me what I need to know or are wrong.
Aug 6, 2019 20:18
Why is this place so dead?
Jul 30, 2019 17:23
@GregoryCurrie I don't say much, but I watch. I watched the two elections, so I don't trust nobody. You say the wrong thing and they push you out.
Jul 16, 2019 18:47
@motosubatsu sounds boring
Jul 16, 2019 17:01
So cussing isn't allowed? You guys wouldn't last ten minutes where I work
May 29, 2019 17:32
@IDrinkandIKnowThings I know I could use some advice I just got my GED last year and I am doing factory work and my kids are getting older, and its hard work and I want to do something else but this place don't help to much for that
May 20, 2019 16:02
@Lilienthal does this mess explain it?
 
Sep 20, 2019 02:37
@SolarMike and if he goes in and tells the boss that hes not going to have aj ob
