Lets turn posting into praxis. Like, I can't even interview anymore legitimately. I freeze up at the at the most basic interview question. My career has suffered because of it. All my supervisors say I take to the job well, and do what's asked of me though. I shouldn't have to deal with this, especially when I'm supposedly the model employee in every job I do.

I got my last 2 jobs through luck (finding the only jobs that wouldn't interview). My current job is something that most working class people wouldn't take. I could be homeless right now.

My outlook is pretty bleak right now, and my degree is near useless.

Can we get a subchapo for jobs and career advice? The DSA is starting to shift into something similar. I think this is especially important to give the left something decent during the pandemic. This sub can focus on both local and remote stuff, hopefully with a focus on worker co-ops.

The Subchapo title isn't important, pick something that fits better if it doesn't pop.

    I feel this. I got a job just because I knew some people that worked there and a couple managers, since then I have witnessed these people be unwilling to hire people while we are desperately understaffed just because the front end staff is capable of doing the jobs of multiple people even though we shouldn't have to (we've cut a lot of staff and everyone is filling the roles of jobs they weren't hired for).

      Small business tyrants really are the worst. Bureaucracy is almost helpful in certain regards to Capitalism.

        What are unions but bureaucracy weaponized by the working class against their oppressors?
