This explains the feelings I've been having lately but didn't know how to express. Now I can show this when people ask what's wrong with me.

I think this whole Covid situation is making a lot of us feel like we are stuck in our jobs.

"I'm not in imminent danger of homelessness and poverty" shouldnt be a fucking achievement.

Depending on your circumstances it could very well just be that you're the least worst option for the employer, not luck, that keeps the job

hah! i wish... i can't seem to get a job and am about to be unable to pay rent...
HappyHobbit123
Think of it this way: you are lucky to have a job BECAUSE it provides money for: food, clothes, shelter, Netflix subscription, bills, etc
SpookyKing
The point isn't that we are not grateful for being able to provide. But lucky to have some shitty job and not more opportunities and respec.

Agree

I'm sad because I don't have a job. Then again, I was also sad when I had the job.

I spend 90% of my time in the woods. I struggle with food water shelter all the time but I have no drama and no unnatural problems. I tried

To kill myself twice and realized it was either to the point I had to do something drastic to stay alive so I left it all behind and will

Never look back been sober and truelly free for 2 years now! I come out to do some habdymen type jobs then back into the woods.

I'm lucky to have a nice severance package from my former job so I don't have to job for at least a little while.

"If you dont like it why dont you just leave?!" If only it was that easy.

Basic, entry level miserable jobs are easy to get. Getting a job that pays well and that is satisfying gl takes a lot of grind to do so.

That's why I think a lot of ppl live for their hobbies knowing the escape will be there when they get home. Not that all are bad within rzn

jesus christ @op please don't destroy me like this, I've already cried today, and have heart pain

The minute I realized this I started to defeat depression. Oppression through impression is one of the biggest cash crops in the US.

Just stab me in the heart why don't you? In all seriousness though thank you for making this & putting the feeling to words. I'm saving this

you are responsible for supporting yourself. No matter what society, you have to pull your own weight.
JudgeNotByTheColorOfOnesSkinButByTheContentsOfOnesDumps
And it's your fault you're downsized and can't pay your bills and they evict you because the hiring market is non existent in your area /s
iusedtodream
Then why pay taxes?

Plus, we aren't allowed to complain either without people telling us to "well then just quit" :(
Marikhen
I complain about work all the time, and if anyone tries to tell me off for doing so I'll probably respond with, ->
Marikhen
"You know, much as I might complain work does have one advantage. I don't work with you."
JustAFlamingoInDisguise
Or worse, being made to feel ungrateful when they reply "at least you have a job and an income!"
yourdailydoseofnope
Yea that's been Americas whole mind set throughout the past 30 years " be grateful to be barley scrapping by, with no healthcare at least /1
yourdailydoseofnope
You dont live in a 3rd world county" man at this point I'm ready to try a 3rd world county cause I dont see the us getting better.
JustAFlamingoInDisguise
American is basically a 3rd world country masquerading as a 1st world country for like 1/3 its population from what I see on the news?
yourdailydoseofnope
Agreed. Ive been saying for the past year that " America is the richest 3rd world country"
