Where I live getting on the dole as a working aged male who isn’t horribly crippled is pretty much impossible. People here genuinely believe that social services should only be for women and/or “historically oppressed groups”. But pretty much in practice it’s just single mothers and if that’s not you get fucked. Men are expected to work or starve and be homeless, that’s the general sentiment.
I’ve had a lot of odd jobs over the years (restaurants, warehouse, IT) but frankly they’re pretty horrible and virtually every company are greedy dickheads that will pay you next to nothing and work you to the bone. I cannot describe to you with words my hatred for management and company owners. There are people that are basically just nepo hires who do nothing and earn 10x what you do, it’s a joke. Where I work now my boss inherited the company from his father and does nothing but play on his mac all day. Most of the time these people aren’t smarter than most or even more hard working they’re just very lucky. But I digress…
Best job I ever had was basically a temp receptionist type job where I got to play handheld vidya a bit of the work day, but that didn’t last long and the pay was as minimal as it can legally get. I can’t live at home because my mother charges me as much as a studio apartment and is terrible person adjacent to that.
What do you guys do that have to work to get buy? I can’t do this for 20-30 more years bros. If I have to keep grinding jobs I hate like this I’m gonna blow my brains out before I’m 45. If you have any recommendations please let me know. I don’t need much, I just want to chill in a small apartment and cope. Sadly it takes at least two full time minimum wage jobs where I’m at just to afford a small apartment and utilities ffs. Thanks lads,
