Love how hypernormalized everything is to the point where even my mom, who was so scared for the first month she barely even let me go grocery shopping, is now back on my case about getting a job, saying "everyone has one!". When I point out that literally 30 million fewer people have them than did a few months ago, it becomes "well, everyone who wants one has one!"
Gonna start a company called Just Getting By, LLC. where we all clock in but nobody does shit and nobody gets paid, we just pretend like we're working to convince our families and the one time a year an HR department actually checks somebody's references.
I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. I was laid off. Fine. It's happened before. Are we supposed to just get another job like normal or are we waiting?
literally me. Supervisor was like "going to have to furlough you guys for now but hang in there, we'll let you know what's going on"
That was in March, haven't heard a thing since lol. Best part is my position isn't eligible for unemployment in my state. So now I'm just sitting here like uhhh
I was furloughed made permanent. If I didn't have to second guess myself, then I'd be fine. Unemployment's over. I can skate on my savings for like 5 months and be really frugal before I need to work but it's still cutting it close, like if my car needs a repair.
And I'd be fine making either option work but I need some reinforcement that it's the correct thing to do. If I go to work or if I wait, there is one side telling me it's the selfish thing to do.
It's like no matter what I do, I'm set up to be blamed if it goes wrong.
at this point if you get a new job I don't think your old one would care that much. Keeping you on ice for months is really unreasonable. The capitalist political-cultural hegemony is always going to try to shift the blame on you somehow, but we just got to keep surviving until the whole thing starts to crack some more.

What are we even doing?
Are you getting unemployment?
