Just lost my job and it’s so depressing seeing stuff like this every single day. 400+ applications and you don’t even get a call anymore. Nothing from recruiters. When you do get an offer, its 20% lower pay than ever before, while cost of living goes up. So you have to engage in borderline indentured servitude just to eat and pay rent.

    Wow what wonderfully ignorant advice. “If you don’t have enough money, consider having more.” The majority (not just “a lot of people”, but literally more than 50%) of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

      have you considered not having avocado toast and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps?

      Some people just don’t want to be helped. it really is a choice, huh?
