Every job should have a public posting period and all qualified candidates should have to be interviewed, no exceptions. Idk why only public sector work has remotely sane hiring policies.

:yea:
I really hate my job, but I was incredibly lucky to get it (through a job placement program), so I’m basically just stuck in it. I’ve tried applying for other jobs but they just don’t want me. But I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up fired or burn out so hard that I have to quit. After that I have no idea what will happen.

you have some of my exact same experiences that it's uncanny. It's unreal that capitalism creates these same situations for people isolated from one another. I have multiple degrees but I don't think it matters much because I failed to "network" in school, as in I failed to become friends with some rich guy's son who can get me a job through nepotism. I have a job now I'm trying to hang onto, but it's rapidly becoming clear everyone here except me got there through family connections or sheer random chance.
The only viable career path I have right now is ask to become management and I abjectly refuse. I'm not going command people nor do I want to be in charge of hiring/firing. The other option is do what every else here does, work for a few years, save up money, and get into real estate. Flipping houses or being a landlord. I'm not doing that either.
It doesn't help that I hate the work. Half of my job simply involves filling the atmosphere with more CO2 and I go home feeling guilty about it every day. I don't know what else to say other than death to America and death to capitalism.
I am in this exact position, and my only hope in life is that I can get on disability for mental illness

thanks!
disability is actually below the poverty line where I live (B.C., Canada) but it would still give me a much better life than I can otherwise hope for in Capitalist Hell
That's where I'm at. I have a job I was put into because a staffing agency begged on my behalf. Most people with my job burn out after 2 years, but I'm probably going to make it to at least 10. Everyone who had my job previously was either promoted to management or found higher level work elsewhere. I fundamentally reject becoming a manager and other workplaces simply do not want me.
I have no network at all and a very basic resume. I have degrees but it's never seemed to matter. Other jobs just don't want me. I give off weird vibes in person, so interviews don't go well for me. I hate that I have to possess a very specific set of social skills that don't come naturally to me.
The Soviet Union and East Germany gave everyone the right to change their job iirc.
