I work just shy of 30 hours a week. My area really hasn't been hit hard at all. The main reason, which my brother is a prime example of, is that they have no respect or gratitude of having a job so they become arrogant and cocky that results in them being fired. My brother quit 3 jobs out of the four he has had, which neither of them he has kept for over 8 months. He quit because he couldn't suck it up and take orders from his managers that he thinks that doesn't deserve the job. Here, it's not that you're lucky to have a job, but you're lucky that you want to keep your job.
Escapists, Are you unemployed or lucky enough to still be employed?

Yeah, sometimes i swear feedback is either a) we have no real excuse for not taking you on. b) see the above feedback.molester jester said:
I think my best feedback i've had would be "Due to your disability (colour blind) we can not offer you the position of Fork-lift trucker driver" regardless of my experience of Fork-lift truck use
I work full time. Fortunately for me, my city is very well insulated against financial crises. A fair chunk of the city works for the government (I live in the Australian capital), so we have a large population with pretty solid and dependable jobs. This leaves even more jobs for us. I actually responded to an ad for workers, so it's not like I have to job hunt too much.
I've had the same job for nearly 3 years now. They can't get rid of me because I'm one of their best guys there. I do know several people without jobs. That's mostly because they're too lazy to actually make an attempt to get a job anywhere.
Well I carry the lawn clippings back to the woods and start the mower while my sister mows the neighbor's lawn for $5 but I don't think that really counts. It's an easy job for me, I'm lazy, and if my sister gets sick, I do the whole thing for $15.
I recommend rat burgers, they go well with 4 week old stale breadthe D0rk One said:no school, no job, no problem... except how to get money for rent, bills, food...

Out of work at the moment and signed off as unfit having suffered a complete mental breakdown and started to hallucinate, the drugs that keep my life under control can also make it hard to cope with (highly soporific) and I rarely leave home alone because I am considered a risk to myself and others.
Hooray for mental illness //sigh
(Oh and for anyone chipping in with "but Valksy, you are using a computer now, you could do an office job". Go fuck yourself, you have no idea what it is like to live like this and get through day to day. If people think that this is pleasant and cushy then try it but don't think that you will get better, you won't. This is it until you die. Live like this for a while and you will starting hoping that will be soon.)

That describes 90% of the feed back i have gotPandyBear said:
the best one was probably in a letter i got before my job interview saying
" Thank you for contacting us to confirm that you will be attending the job interview however due to the fact you did not contact us we opened the interview to other people, and there will no longer be time to interview you (rough draft can't remember the exact details) "
well did i contact you or not make up for your mind ( for the record i contacted them twice, and had my dole officer email them )
Anyway if they did not want to hire me i would rather they say that instead of making up some bullshit.
I am studying full time at college while having a part time employment in a psychiatric ward. Many of the other part timers have been laid off, but I am still around probably in part due to the shortage of Registered Nurses and the hope that I will take employment there as a RN once I graduate next year.
