Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

The employment market is super tight right now. A year ago I was freshly graduated after returning to college and landed multiple interviews as well as fending off headhunters on about a weekly basis. I applied to 9 openings and got 6 calls to interview, and made it to the final round of interviews for 3 roles in a 1 month timeframe. Now I'm fighting just to get an interview for the purposes of interview experience and potentially jumping ship if the offer is right, and I'm getting ghosted by the couple of recruiters who have reached out in the last few months. A friend's boyfriend is job hunting after getting laid off from his last job and hasn't been able to land a job in months, and another friend landed a job with an insane commute after her position was suddenly no longer needed. Even my old boss who I see at community events regularly and has been begging me to come back and throwing comparatively generous offers out there hasn't brought it up in a few months. Shit's rough yo
I was never able to find a stable job, and I graduated in 2019. Went back for a master's degree, which I just finished in March. There's nothing. I'm about to run out of money. I don't know what to do, but I can't survive in this economy with no help.
