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.
I’ll be very happy if my investments went to zero but I’m not living in a dumpster in the meantime. This is the system we have and you NEED to survive it to be able to make any type of positive change.
The fact the only thing you can think of better than one job is two jobs is very telling and really does reinforce my idea that it’s dependency that’s the issue. think of literally anything that isn’t selling your labour to capital and do that instead.
