I lost my job right before covid hit and UI ran out a few months ago. Nearing my credit limit and really need money but I've also become radicalized to the point where IDK if I could submit myself to a (literal or figurative) burger-flipping job because
-
I am just completely unable to kiss ass, lie about being enthusiastic for a job, etc. Maybe this is in part cause autism and maybe in part cause
-
I come from a relatively privileged background, and never had to either kiss ass or work retail/food service, which are the only places hiring since I have no degree.
-
Also, I really don't wanna give myself covid and risk Long Covid, since my family won't literally be destitute if I don't get a job immediately, but I probably will get sick immediately given the case surge here in CA.
-
Oh yeah I'm also transitioning and rn have both noticeable breasts AND facial hair so. Any customer facing positions are completely out of the question (and most others probably too)
-
Oh yeah also I don't have consistent access to a car, and public transport, while pretty cheap, isn't very common or reliable.
IDK. what do
dang i am in the same position as you right now. Covid basically destroyed my industry and i am DREADING getting back into the shitty service industry. it doesn't even pay enough to pay the bills where i live anyway. it would just be slowing the bank account drainage.... ugh...
