Turns out what you wanted was financial stability and to not feel like you’d end up on the street. That doesn’t cancel out what should be a very basic expectation of baseline respect from employers and fair pay, though, so here we all are rightly pissed-off.

I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now!

Im looking now but I remember how when I had one I so did not and now that I don't I so do.

The only time I've been more miserable than when I was unemployed, was when I was employed.

I am right now sitting in the foyer of my new job waiting for first day orientation to start and I am already cursing the fact that I had to get up so early and go across the entire city just to not die.

Yeah because even doing what you love is hell when you don't make enough money to thrive or don't have enough time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Due to the increasingly high cost of living, more and more consider the alternative.
