    Thank you.

    People who post shit like this seem to think the streets are littered with such a rich variety of job offers that we can pick out the best ones like we’re shopping for avocados, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast, vast majority of us need a job right fucking now to survive, and are going to happily snag the first offer we get no matter what evil fuck it’s for.

      I’ve been there, too. I ignored warning signs because I was desperate, and then wished I hadn’t later. Saying that you will accept any job that comes your way is a good route to getting fucked over.

      You might think that you need the money, but it really isn’t worth it when you lose your job a week later and your temp agency won’t answer your calls anymore. There are some crazy, toxic workplaces out there.

      You’re right. Better to lick the boot. Don’t even think about saying anything that might even be slightly uncomfortable, just accept what they let you have and be happy, right? Fuckin scab

          I’m an American. I’m kicking fascist ass every single day. And every pansy crying about how “it’s too hard” has no idea how hard things are really gonna get if they keep taking it lying down.

          Unless you’re an American, and unless you’re fighting too, shut the fuck up. No one needs to hear from you.

        If licking boots is the only thing keeping someone alive, maybe don’t berate them for licking boots. It must be really nice living rent free in your mom’s house but many of us have to choose between having jobs or being homeless

          Incorrect.

          If licking boots is the only thing keeping someone alive, they have ZERO excuses not to fight back.

            Jesus Christ. Listen to yourself. “The only thing keeping someone alive” means the alternative is death. Do not fucking tell people that they have no excuse not to fight back when fighting back kills them.

            We’re talking about employers being dirtbags here. This cause is not worth dying on the streets because you can’t hold down a job. You serve your species better by tolerating minor transgressions so you can more meaningfully fight against the larger ones. Any individual donating $5 to charity is helping mankind infinitely more than you will if you intentionally bomb every job interview to the point where you have to survive on said charity.

              Every day, more posts from Americans revealing that they never believed the bullshit “values” their country’s been dining out on for 200 years.

                Every day, more posts from lemmings revealing that they’re utterly politically illiterate. I’m some kind of hypocrite because I’m not willing to literally end my own life in the name of moderately better employment practices?

          It must be really nice living rent free in your mom’s house

          Nice projection, loser. I paid off my mortgage on the house i didn’t inherit and now I support my wife, a child, and two dogs on a business I built.

          You’re a little cry baby piss ant boot licker, and nobody asked or cares what you think.

      The “elite” don’t have any more power than what you give them. At the very least, shut the fuck up if the only thing you can think to say is negative, defeatist garbage.
