Unemployed...again

TC40

My crappy A*** temp job ended on Friday. I am not upset about the job itself, I wouldn't have wanted to stay anyway. The boss was a NIGHTMARE. I am just worried about money. I was only making 10 an hour so I have NO money saved. I have had the year from H***. I just want to find a permanent job that I can get used to. I don't do well with these ups and downs of job uncertainty. Although if I look at it realistically, all of us are dangling by a thread in the workforce. We are all sitting ducks because there is the employer loyalty anymore. It's all about money, and if you don't fit their bottom line, then out you go...pretty sad but true....so I am feeling depressed and anxious. I don't know why I continue to be tested like this. It sucks. I am praying for God's will in my life.

Sorry to hear about the job TC. ..

My job is sucking too paywise. .yes the dreaded $10 an hour range.

However, the job is close to the house. (Low money on gas) ..also the guys here are very nice. I guess I am lucky in those two aspects.

I feel ya though in the job loss and low pay areas. .

My last job, I worked with assholes, so I know the feeling.

Hope you find something you can like :-)

I'm sort of glad that temp job ended - you did NOT need a boss like that. Have you tried going to your state's ombudsman? That's one way to discuss disability and getting a job. Can you go on unemployment or have you exhausted that option? You're really trying and it's just nuts that you can't find anything. You're an intelligent and outgoing person with skills up the wazoo. I do hope something different comes your way soon! Good luck!!! ((((hugs))))

I kinda agree with spacekat. It sounded really horrible . I know everyone needs money, but maybe this was fir the best right now.

Maybe something better will come along? I really hope something good comes along gir you.

Yes I too agree with SPacekat. I mean I know how much it sucks to be out of work but I also know it sucks way more to have to go to a job every day that you dread because you work under a complete asshole who makes you feel like shit. SO I am glad you are out of there. I hope you find something soon and I am sure you will. I hope it is a job you deserve where you are treated with respect. Hugs

Hang in there TC I know that's scary. Keep your faith in God and know that he will see you through. All of this year is a learning experience. Plus this is only a temporary state of your life. It just sucks when your in the moment. Eventually you'll find a job and hopefully its permanent. Hopefully its not as stressful as this position. Then again all jobs come with stress. Just stay prayed up and don't give up hope.

Well I agree with the others that I'm glad you're out of such a negative environment! I completely hear you on job struggles....always! The workplace is a highly stressful place these days....so as you go about finding something again remember positive self-care, and leaning on supports (like here!) to help the life outside of work feel a bit balanced too. I'm sorry you are having such a rough time, TC. You have a lot to offer the workplace so have faith in yourself! Hugs and prayers.

Thank you SOOOO much for your support. It means ALOT to me. I had one more week of unemployment. I spent over an hour jumping thru hoops at the unemployment office to reopen my claim. My interview went well, but I am very skeptical. I have an interview tomorrow. Then I am going to hit up another temp company.

I am very depressed and so very anxious. I am TERRIFIED of becoming homeless. I cannot and WILL NOT ask my parents for help. I wish I could "take the easy way out".

I am praying constantly. I am also always praying for all of my friends here, too. Thank you again for your support.

I am unemployed but trying to be a real estate agent. I don't think it is going to work out for me. I feel you on being unemployed or under employed. I have a interview with a temp agency next week to try to bring in some income while I see if I can handle being a real estate agent. I like the helping people part but I am not so crazy about having to constantly self promote myself. It is kinda hard when you are living the double life of a bipolar who has been in the hospital over 8 times in 5 years after taking Chantix in 2010. I feel like I am permanently broken but another part of me keeps trying..

I hope you keep trying and praying too. I am starting to pray as well...there has got to be a way for us to be part of society.

I don't think He will let you become homeless. I was 2 weeks away from being homeless. I had sold everything I could and just got rid of the rest. I couldn't sleep. It was the worst time of my life.
But 2 weeks before my eviction I found another place to live. And cheaper. I had planned on living in my car w/my two cats.
The apt. showed up just in time.

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
