Watch the video? It's only 10-minutes. Maybe you do need a new job?
Even if someone knows they would be happier in another job, that isn't always a choice you can actually take. There is pretty limited choices for work where I live, but I can't really move as my house is here and my partners job is here. Quite a bit of retail/care work, beyond that choices are limited.
Yep. Tons of places are hiring and getting any job isn't really that hard (in my area at least), but if you're wanting a job that pays decent or at least more than $15/hr then you're gonna be searching pretty damn hard. I got a new job a couple months ago that shot me up from getting paid $27k to getting paid $50k. However the hours suck with my shift starting at 5 AM and going for around 10 or 11 hours. When I look for other jobs in my area that offer similar pay, all I get are sales or something like building fences which I imagine would make me more miserable.
UK has a reasonable minimum wage (one of the best on the planet), a job isn't too hard but often it could be part time or irregular hours. Or just kinda shit work.
Hey chill fellow internet person - the video was very cool (thanks), so don't spoil it by meaning man in the comments, eh?
Not sure what you mean? Spoiler in my OP? I removed that so the video is more of a surprise.
Was I being mean to my replier? I honestly hoped they would watch the video and get inspiration, understand where they are at in life.
To my ears what you said to the first reply sounded a bit "fighty" that's all. But it didn't derail the discussion so all good.
I think I do. I'm very self critical and self aware; it comes with the territory for my particular brand of executive function disorder. I've spent most of my life trying to find ways to motivate myself to do things. Even things I want to see done....
I've just been a bit on the busy side for the last few days. I'll take a look at the video tonight if I remember to.
Be well.
