8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.
Scrip is kinda low key a thing again. My SO works for wawa and there is definitely some scrip vibe. They have a company store, a points reward system, they will put you through school if you take classes that benefit the Corp, and the only way to move up is to basically bootlick management at weird company festivals.
It all has this very dystopian vibe of “everything within the corporation eco system” and my SO is a very principled women who is shy and kind and she refuses to take a step to elevate herself within the Corp, but getting a union going is pretty hard where we’re at, everyone is very much of the boot tasting, welfare queen bad variety.
I can confidently say I’m cringe af

34·2 years agoNot having children is my retirement. I will probably work till I’m old and gray so I just tuck what I can away, buy things that hold value, and live my life.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If I don't have references for a job, how can I work around that?
312·3 years agoTbh…just lie. Base it firmly in reality though and get your story straight. Astroturf the entire reference with people you know, who may or may not have been involved with the reality. Make it believable to the rest of the application. Chances are your references will be passed over entirely anyway while whoever is doing the bare minimum to get through their work day checks over your application.
This may or may not be good advice. 🤷

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•in a general sense, how would you feel about people having their pet dog(s) in the workplace?
3·3 years agoOne dog in my current line of work is too much already usually. However I always love it and makes me happy to give my attention to a pup. But I’d say in general no. Too many cooks.

1·3 years agoI agree. Most of those computers are buggy af, and I tend to opt for live person when possible. But scanning grapes as bananas is worth it sometimes. 💁

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did the "American dream" change over time, or was it just my interpretation of it?
2·3 years agoWell said.
Took me a while to recognize the instilled behavior, and even longer to unwind the tendrils and it’s effects on my life in general. Capitalism has instilled a martyr complex into us.
I am a go where the wind blows kind of person and settled on working for myself. Much out of necessity as well, cause a company would absolutely not hire me anymore. I am still “poor”, but I make my own schedule at least. If I’m gonna get fucked, I’d like to choose how.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state?
3·3 years agoHey you sound just like me. If your going to move, perhaps somewhere like PA? It’s got the benefit of being a battleground state, and there’s more than enough rural areas, even relatively close to the cities, where you can continue your hermitage. I’m doing something similar (:

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s a painful experience you haven’t had in years?
