Being in california has proven to me that either the ozarks or ex-pat is the only future. But they want to drive us from the state. So those who leave are giving them what they want by not fighting to the death for it.

Poors are leaving California. Not all of them are poor, a lot of them are well off, but a lot of people who can’t hack it are leaving. However, in the town I work in, there is a massive influx of people all the time. I know because I see the houses change hands and the houses are houses we’ve worked on in the past. The people coming in are highly educated and quite well off.

See, this is the way. Yet, he’d have to own a car and know how to drive one in order to get to work. I’m not sure he possesses that skill set.

Have you ever thought that you might be able to get a job better matching your skills if you managed to retain references instead of burning every bridge?

A place of employment can be moronic and mismanaged. They don't need to hear it. Just outperform everyone else for a couple of months so everyone thinks your a great guy (because you are), and apply to better places, and use your references.

[ - ] Salacious_Salicylic 3 points 11 monthsJul 19, 2024 13:31:38 ago (+3/-0)

Good people have the upper hand in hiring because everyone wants to work for them. So they are unlikely to take people who have zero references.

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens [op] 1 point 11 monthsJul 19, 2024 16:35:14 ago (+1/-0)

This isn’t the boomer era. No one gets a gold watch anymore. You do 1-5 years somewhere and you either get canned or move on to something different and hopefully better.

[ - ] MaryXmas 1 point 11 monthsJul 19, 2024 18:51:15 ago (+1/-0)

Oh yeah, boomers really fucked up the job market. The greatest Gen would stay for 30 years. Those people got gold watches. Boomers just got a check and an excuse to ignore their families.

Boomers almost never stayed for 30 years. It's completely fictionalized version of hit history. In fact if you go back and look at the textbooks of the 1980s and '90s you'll see that one of the main themes is the reason Japan was so much better at out manufacturing in the United States was that the company's promise their employees lifetime employment but American employees would lose their jobs after 5 years. So that's just another Boomer myth.

Literally all of my boomer family, at least 40 people, were with their employers for at least 30 years minimum. I think this stereoptype comes from reality

The greatest generation - the generation that won ww2- those are the people that worked at the same company for 30 years. Those were the parents of the boomers.

We’re the same age and I’ve been at my job for 8 years and the prior job for 15. But I owned both those companies. Before that it was 4 & 2 respectively. Even before that, I had one for 3 and another for 2, I was 18-22 back then. Hell, I was a better man then than you are now!
Would you look at that!

I worked second jobs for years for supplemental income.

After starting a scalable business that is going to take a long time to grow, I considered taking another second job to help seed it. Then it occurred to me that I might return to school to pursue a much higher-paying position in something more fulfilling.

Queenie, if you’re currently working in low end positions, it might do you well to consider formal training or education. You seem to have the wit and the energy for it and I assume you don’t have kids yet.

Interesting. Glad to hear you have a long term goal. I assume many of us are wondering when you’re going to perform a Snake Plissken.

Which country are you thinking?
