Wait she MOVED to San Fran for a minimum wage job? :psyduck:

Oh my god this fuckin girl

Coming out of college without much more than freelancing and tutoring under my belt, I felt it was fair that I start out working in the customer support section of Yelp/Eat24 before I’d be qualified to transfer to media. Then, after I had moved and got firmly stuck in this apartment with this debt, I was told I’d have to work in support for an entire year before I would be able to move to a different department. A whole year answering calls and talking to customers just for the hope that someday I’d be able to make memes and twitter jokes about food. If you follow me on twitter, which you don’t, you’d know that these are things I already do. But that’s neither here nor there. Let’s get back to the situation at hand, shall we?

How many Twitter followers do you have?

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.

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.

Did you expect to immediately parlay this degree into a lucrative job writing tweets and memes that would allow you to live comfortably without roomies in one of the most expensive places on the planet?

My sister moved to the bay straight out of college. She taught 7th grade or something while also doing RA poo poo while completing her Ph.D. She never had less than 3 or 4 roomies. She got married to a STEM Ph.D. With a great job. Still had roomies for years. Didn't live alone until they crapped out two kids and bought their own house after saving for like a literal decade, around the age of 35.

What I'm trying to say is, this twat that thinks she can get an entry level job in literally one of the most expensive cities on the planet and afford to comfortably live alone can lick my sweaty poo poo encrusted anus.

Agreed. Why should society place more value in a doctor or engineer than they do a professional twitter poster?

True. Anyone can be a Doctor or engineer if they go to school long enough and study hard enough.

But making good tweeters is an art form that many could never do no matter how hard they tried.

I'm just glad we can use a naive youth to continue defending the system that is re-proletarianizing the vast majority of people in this country. It's great that we can use examples like sisters with PHDs who had to struggle way too hard to make it in life to defend this state of affairs instead of reading it as the indictment of our current system that it is. Had wages kept up with productivity since the 60s perhaps that outsized struggle wouldn't have been necessary, but never mind, let's use these examples to show how it's ok that people are drowning - it's definitely not analogous to insane arguments like "hey this black person became an unqualified success so anyone can do it! Everything's as it should be. Just work harder."

Stop trolling.

If minimum wage had kept up with American productivity gains It would be over $21/hr right now so it's not an unreasonable concept.

But how are we going to pay the computers and automated equipment that enabled those productivity gains a salary? Oh, you're saying the uneducated retard that sweeps up the place should have gotten that money. Okay, makes sense.

But this white chick with higher-end tastes might have to make her gourmet cupcakes with a ROOMMATE and I just now have realized how terrible the situation is.

I'm literally shaking with rage and crying uncontrollably because of it.

What kind of poo poo hole country is this? Where a woman with a largely useless degree cannot get a job in the most expensive city in the country and live by herself and be financially comfortable and get promoted to her dream job within 6 months? Is that really the country we live in now?

It's... It's... It's almost like people are saying that you can't do whatever the hell you want for a job, and live wherever the hell you want no matter how expensive, and be financially comfortable even though you have zero job skills or experience? I'm so sad that that's how it works, and that now is the first I'm hearing of it.

And I was just getting ready to move to Honolulu where I'd live comfortably alone in my nice one bedroom apartment, my finances stable and secured by working 35 hours a week at McDonald's.

Credit cards actually pay your bills and then you pay them back with interest. They don't magic money from anywhere. It's a series of small loans taken from a financial institution.

Loans create money. I deposit 100k in my bank account. Talia Jane takes out a 90k loan for the land needed to start her free range meme ranch and pays it to some Jew, who then deposits it in his bank. Then the Jew's bank loans Talia 80 grand so that she can give some other Jew 80 grand for 6 months deposit on her San Francisco mansion.

So now I've got 100 grand, Jew #1 has 90 grand, and Jew #2 has 80 grand, and the other 170k was created entirely based on my 100k deposit.

Etc, etc, etc.

I don't think anyone is seriously arguing things aren't hosed. We do need real wage growth. $21/h isn't going to happen but we should at least try to raise the minimum wage. We do need single-payer healthcare. We do need to do something about lower income people getting squeezed out of cities and poo poo on in-general. And yeah all of that probably means raising taxes on everyone, especially people making a couple hundred grand a year or more.


But none of that makes this stupid bitch any less of an idiot with poor planning skills and a spoiled rotten personality. This is not the hill for progressives to die on.

Exactly. I think the minimum wage does need to be higher, especially in expensive areas. I do think that income disparity has gotten ridiculously loving horrible. I do think CEOs getting paid 50 million dollars to run a company into the ground is bullshit. I do think that people born with a silver spoon up their rear end paying 12% in taxes while middle class people are paying 20%+ is total poo poo.

But none of that has any bearing on what I think about this entitled retard that has wound up in a lovely situation due to making the worst choices possible over and over and over again.

I love the Bay Area. I'd love to live in the Bay Area. But I am not willing to sacrifice the lifestyle I have living somewhere that's 10x cheaper in order to move there. Some people are, good for them. But someone with no real skills or experience expecting to move there to take a lovely entry level job without having to make any of these sacrifices? It's mind boggling. The people sending this woman money are literally crazy.

This isn't a 1%er vs. wageslave issue. It's a retard vs. non-retard issue.

also i think she's doing this wrong. i lived in the bay area extremely affordably last year. all i had to do was live in a halfway house. maybe she could consider all her options??????????

Maybe tweet her the address?

Could also tweet her regarding the concepts of roommates and 2nd jobs as she doesn't seem aware of their existence. I think these millennials will all turn out okay, they just haven't been told some of these insider secrets. I knew about them because I watched Friends when I was a kid but that show went off the air so now these poor kids don't have anywhere to acquire this sort of vital information.

Only if we actually give a gently caress about this actual person. We shouldn't beyond the basic concern we should share for all other people.

I think her particular purchasing habits are irrelevant to the conversation unless the conversation is about subjecting a dummy to shame for being dumb or maybe lying.

I mean, her basic point, peppered with non sequiturs and lovely writing, is that it's hard to live with dignity on the kind of wage an entry-level service worker can earn. Whether she's in that situation is kind of irrelevant. What some of us seem to be doing is the same old tired Olaudah Equiano debate about whether this instance of legitimate grievances are fictional, instead of about the grievances the work of (possible) fiction depicts.

I guess it does matter if you're considering giving her money. You shouldn't give her money unless you think the problem is that enough real people working for lovely wages don't have kickstarters to pay their rent. Then you're just wrong, but go hog wild if you believe her I guess.

You honestly think someone with zero experience and no real in-demand skills, should be able to take an entry level job and live comfortably alone in one of the most expensive places on the planet because she thinks the company is cool and will hopefully be able to move up (in 6 months?) into her dream job?
