I'm glad there are legions of computer janitors ready to tell everyone things are fine when someone is having a hard time economically no matter the circumstances or case. And have an arsenal of semi reasonable sounding but no less gymnastic rebuttals when it's about everything being broken from the ground up and not hot tips on how to make it work.

Fried Watermelon posted:So she makes $733.24 bi-weekly and $1245 a month is for rent. I get the feeling she moved to San Francisco with big starry dreams and handwaved away the massive debt she was piling on by thinking that she'll make it big in the writing/tech industry and this is all just the sacrifices she has to make to get there. In reality, she moved to an expensive city to get a minimum wage job that can't cover her expenses and just makes her add more debt. It's ridiculous that the minimum wage is so low there that you seriously can't live on it. She's in a lovely situation that she could have and should have avoided.

I have really been trying to not get heated and slap fighty in GBS and I hosed that up here. I'm not saying she is deserving of sympathy for her string of ill thought maneuvers but rather that a 20-25 year old should be able to make mistakes and recover from them and the system they are participating in should have the flexibility to allow for that without undergoing a bleak and soul sucking gauntlet. I understand the economic realities of the situation in this country and how they should impact your planning and decisions, but am not apathetic enough to not speak out about how no one should be in this situation in the first place.

I understand the economic realities of the situation in this country and how they should impact your planning and decisions, but am not apathetic enough to not speak out about how no one should be in this situation in the first place. Her situation is poo poo and she needs to accept that her dream job of writing funny tweets for a tech company is not a realistic option at this stage of her life (or most people's lives, its pretty heavily luck/nepotism based). She doesn't elaborate into the reason she absolutely have to leave her previous environment other then wanting to die every day but even if that's the case it doesn't mean you burn it to the ground and move to the most expensive city in the country and then get fussy when you have to spend 1 year working customer service before moving up in the company. The wage is 100% unsustainable for the region unless you live at home with parents and don't pay rent but these are all things most competent adults will take into account before moving across the country for work. The biggest thing to me is her proudly stating she got the job during the first interview. That's not a sign of how stellar of a candidate that she is, but more of how entry-level the job is and how the position is throwing bodies at a problem to brute force solutions not hiring talented minds. On top of that, any job advice site will absolutely tell you not to blow your savings/go into debt to move to a new region and start a new job. Her excitement over getting a new credit card then assuming a huge amount of debt to make the move reeks of immaturity, but tons of people go into huge debt for other stupid reasons so its not that bad. The entire article seems like a spite filled rant because the CEO didn't think her "ironic" suggestions on how to improve the lives of the wageslaves was to be taken seriously so she decides to publicly vent. But, hey, she was so worried about becoming a cliche as a teacher that going to SF tech was her only reasonable option. That and begging for money on Paypal and Cashsquare. max4me posted:Am i wrong for thinking that she should not have been fired for this letter. That she have the freedom speak this and keep her job. Hell maybe the CEO could have responded and took her down a few pegs and told her to get back to work or leave. There are probably of hundreds of other people like her taking those jobs and risking homelessness to be a part of the tech culture and chasing their dream of getting a sweet gig writing memes or being a social media expert for a soulless tech company.

Hell maybe the CEO could have responded and took her down a few pegs and told her to get back to work or leave. She should have been fired long before this for being a completely useless imbecile. Was the firing actually related to the letter? Who knows. What we do know, is that she's really dumb and makes extremely poor decisions and gave away a lot of the companies money by being incompetent. But I guess some people think that being stupid and useless at your minimum wage job should result in getting six months severance so you can move back to rear end in a top hat Indiana and start a new life that you hopefully don't gently caress up as badly.
