every fucking time it feels like I have a plan that I've gotten in order...

I really just want to quit but I don't have any alternatives and I can't get any alternatives going because all of my energy is devoted to surviving this job

update resume just in case

it is up to date and I applied to some things but Seattle is a hell hole if you're at entry level

sitting bolt upright as I realize that all of this shit involving evil boss and her HR buddy has been done either in voice/flesh meetings or other impermanent records. hoooooooo boy. that's a red fucking flag to realize.

Oh no

crimson scarlet carmine-colored ruby cherry and vermillion <- read to the tune of the pepto bismol jingle bc it's still stuck in my head

hey was your final warning given to you in writing. i know that won't mean much due to at will firing but like.

that's exactly what I'm saying lol

well. i'm just saying. if it's not in writing it's not a final warning-- /no,,,,

I mean. Look. I don't want to sound defeatist but I also don't want to blow smoke. You're right to be freaked out because yeah. It's looking kinda grim. And it's especially hard knowing that there's not much you can do to fight back. With everything in person, the burden of proof is on the employee if they want to try and take things the legal route.

I know it sounds pithy but it really does say a lot more about them than it does you. That reassurance doesn't pay the bills though, I know, but try to take it to heart as much as you can. <3 If it's possible, start documenting what you can, even if things are in person. A comprehensive timeline is slightly more persuasive.

And feel free to DM me if you like, since I just went through this same things, including the job search right after being fired. (I am now keeping a private document on my own Gmail account for this exact same reason.)

it's real grim out there especially if you are physically incapable of working the not a desk job low end stuff.

I know I wouldn't have ground to fight it legally (lol at will state) because, unfortunately, when you're in law -

for right now i am focusing on. i will finish this GODDAMN quilt and then try and get some of those alternative income streams to exist (stop BUYING crafts start SELLING crafts)

I just need another year and then I'll be back in school hopefully. after that everything should be smoother sailing because getting a job without a BA here is a nightmare (I am preaching to the choir I'm sure but)

hah yeah that's probably not helping my job search /associates

godspeed my friend

i mean tbf you are not looking for desk jobs

true
