Just starting going through the job application process.


Reality set it really really fukkin' hard.


Realized i'm not as competent as i thought i was. Funny thing is that i run into people everyday with really great jobs in almost every field possible and it always seems as though i'm miles more competent and cerebral than they are. Or am I?


Fukk... just applied for a job and realized my resume was lackluster and my cover letter wasn't written in the guidelines of an effective CV (i'm stubborn, i always want to do things my way because if i bend.. i'm essentially breaking my own internals rules and not being true to myself - yeah i'm that dumb). The HR lady basically said get a job you're able to do and fukk off.


It would be a huge waste of talent and skills if i was relegated to blue collar work for the rest of my life.


Now I see why a lot of people become discouraged, have no legit college education and have to work dead end jobs for the rest of their lives. Shiit ain't cut out for the bleek and unseasoned. That's for sure. I really fukked myself over after getting fired. Mom dying the same year didn't help. Funny thing is, my old boss offered me my old job but i just feel like i screwed him over too severely and let him and his family/my old co-workers down... and i also feel that he's in some way just being sympathetic cuz i lost my mom and he's close to my family, so i didn't know if he was being genuine (everything you do in the dark... ALWAYS comes to the light - i paid dearly for it and my mom left this earth never seeing her only make it in this world. I at least could have given her a grand child... nope. Fukked that up too).



There's so much fukkin' pressure for me to succeed and i can't do it guys. I can't fukkin do it. I'm an emotional wreck and i haven't worked in over a year. Who the fukk is gonna hire me for something i wanna do?



If it wasn't for my family... id just get hit by a bus and call it a life.




FUKK FUKK FUKK!!!




FUKK!!!




I'M A FUKKIN' LOSER!!!!




SOMEBODY FUKKIN' KILL ME!!!!

You're this worked up from just APPLYING to a job? Not even being smart, but you may have a bigger issue to tackle. Sounds like you need to deal with your anxiety first.

I have a bad feeling I'm about to get fired from work this week. I've been with the company for about 2 1/2 years, and I think I'm going to get screwed over for helping somebody out.

If that is the case write up your notice to leave but instead of giving 2 weeks make it effectively. Whenever you are called into your supervisor office or who tells you of termination slap the note on the desk before you are fired

It's a straight commission job, and I had this customer that was in a tough situation. I told her I would pay off a small balance she needed to pay off as well as cover all of her taxes on a transaction. She was eligible to receive a rebate card, but we agreed that I would receive it as I was paying all of the cash up front for her, and what I paid for outweighed what the gift card would be. She is now complaining to another employee of mine as well as one of our higher ups that I was supposed to five her the rebate card as well, and that I never covered her taxes or anything the day I made the sale. I went out of my way to help someone that looked like they needed it, as well as trying to build a solid client base, and I'm about to get screwed over.

It was about $150 in cash that I paid THAT day for her as well. I helped her out big time and I might get screwed now. I need to stop helping people out.

its ok to help others but you have to know when to do so and when not to, to be honest based on the little info I have on what you told me I wouldnt do it, but maybe you wont get fired and might only get written up or a suspension

If you quit you won't get unemployment so don't do what was suggested. If it's a first offense, normally you get a write up, not straight up fired. Start looking for a new job ASAP if you feel this way and keep chill until your manager talks to you.

Ummm I take that back, yeah you're probably going to get fired for that. NEVER use your personal funds just to get a sale. Also making side deals is typically against policy.

With that said, being out of work isn't a big deal. Start looking for other jobs, try to get unemployment and you could always deliver pizza or drive uber if you have a car to hold you over.

It was a tough situation to deal with because she was in a very tough situation, so I did that, knowing that you're not supposed to do that. If I do end up losing my job (which I don't think I will now because I just spoke to one of our higher ups), it is what it is and I will take a month or two off. The upcoming months are busy seasons where you can definitely make about 7-8k/month in commission, and that's before any bonuses get paid to me due to my position within the company. If it happens it happens, but the phone call I just had made me feel better about it. They were under the impression that I was taking EVERY customer's rebate that the customer did not know they could get and was sending it to my house.:what:. That would be thousands of dollars a month and it would have drawn a major red flag.

Good!! I'm glad it worked out so far. But still give yourself some options and look at other companies just in case.

And don't fall for any more sad stories. You can be sympathetic without risking your own livelihood. She could have been lying for all you know.
