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?

The whole 'not having a roommate' is actually the weirdest thing about that whole article to me. A lot of the techies I know up in San Fran are making a comfy six figures and still usually have roommates to try and save up.

Maybe she has one and just didn't mention it, but you would think she would in that whole money ramble.

Still, if I was an autist making a cool six figs, I would still have a roomie or two and ride that gravy train to the end of the tracks
I would also not move to the most expensive city in the Unites States for a minimum wage job though so here we are

She's probably going to get a surge of pity donations for a short time. She really should probably use the money to move to a less expensive city, find something steady to tide her over for a while, then start working towards a media career tweeting or whatever it is she wants to do.

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 think this person comes off as a huge baby with no sense of personal responsibility, but I have always wondered, what the hell do people who work minimum wage jobs actually do in these comically overpiced cities? I realize they don't live in town, but why commute for an hour to work at McDonalds in SF when they probably have a McDonalds 5 minutes away from where they live?

We just pile them all into bunkbed cages packed six to a supply closet, unlock the door when it's morning, and they have a curfew when they have to get back. And they have to empty their own buckets in the morning or I start marking down penalties.

She really wants to live a lifestyle where she can have a place all to herself and bake her gourmet cupcakes and drink bourbon (while complaining that she was living on rice and sorrow), but didn't plan around her actual wages and didn't downgrade her living expectations until she had her dream tweet job.
Like yeah San Fran has a shitload of problems with livable pay wages, but I do not think this girl is really the one you should be hitching that cause to.

Just burn the whole city down with her in it and start fresh imo

Entire families and neighborhoods (especially minorities) have been being displaced by the influx of wealthy visitors to the city and have held numerous protests and sit-ins to try and make their voices heard. More than half the houses on the block might be standing empty for years because of overseas investors, while natives have been pushed further and further to the brink as prices became more and more unlivable.

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.

San Fran has had wage bloat problems for YEARS, but only when this crybaby white girl who has never held a job before is infuriated that her minimum wage job isn't paying enough for her lovely life choices, do we truly see the extent of the problem.

This is a girl who at 24 has never held a job before. This was literally her first job and she HAD to live in of the most expensive cities in the world because her sleepy life in Los Angeles was KILLLLIIIING HEEERRR, GUUUYYSSSS. It's not just San Fran, but if she was in London or Paris or basically any big city that people really want to live in, she would have to get a roommate or two, and budget her living expenses wisely until she can work her way to a better wage.

Like that's not a political statement, that is literally how it's always loving been, everywhere.

She wrote multiple paragraphs about she was living on basically nothing but rice in this rambling blog to the CEO of her company, and then her Instagram shows her hobbies are literally making gourmet cupcakes and baking, going out to eat, and basically every pampered west coast girl hobby in existence. It's p funny.

She's just another idiot who failed at living in a big city and complained about it every step of the way and just wants pity donations on the internet.

Like if you wanna start a conversation about big city wages, there's always D&D. There are numerous San Francisco natives who are struggling and need real help and have NO family ties or financial throwbacks and deserve real consideration.
