27 Memes for the Unemployed Tired of the Job Search

Searching for a job can be an exhausting process. It involves spending a lot of time scrolling through job boards, tailoring your resume to the job description, and writing the dreaded cover letter, all in hopes of getting a response. Which isn't even guaranteed. Even if you do receive a positive response to move on to the next round, it only means that you have to prepare yourself for multiple rounds of interviews, which can require hours of preparation.

‘Suddenly the recruiter stopped responding’: Job candidate rejected by company in favor of 'internal candidate' after going through 8 rounds of interviews, internet reacts

Eight rounds of interviews later, this job candidate was hit by a wave of rejection that felt like an elephant had stomped on her. Absolutely devastated, was how she described it. And I totally understand why. If a company wasted my time like that, I'd be furious, too. Also, 8 rounds of interviews? What is this, the recruiting process to become the president? It seems wild that recruiters would make a candidate go through this. How many questions could you possibly ask a future employee? Maybe…

'Just like that, I was unemployed': Game store exec fires employee for refusing to sell his teenage son a video game

'Just like that, I was unemployed': Game store exec fires employee for refusing to sell his teenage son a video game

This person was just trying to follow the rules . But that didn't matter at all to the store they worked for. At every job, there are specific rules that you have to follow. Sometimes you can bend the rules a bit to make your life easier. But some things are too important to mess around with. Age restricted items would probably fall under that second category. This person, u/PM_ME_UR_DIPLOMA, had a story for r/TalesFromRetail on this very subject. They write that while working at a video game s…

‘I was clocked in the entire time': Company docks employee's pay due to lack of customers, employee applies for unemployment

When you start getting your paycheck later and later, know that you are aboard a sinking ship. No company that has its finances in order is paying its employees at the latest possible date. A Redditor, u/heyomeatballs , was working a WFH customer service job for three years and was the only employee in the entire customer service department, which should probably already tell you a lot of what you need to know. OP stated that in the beginning, the job was actually pretty good, and the pay was d…

'Now they want a resignation notice': Teacher gets fired, then ordered to submit a resignation

Getting fired sucks; having your means of income suddenly dissipate leaves you in a pretty vulnerable situation, forcing you to dig into your savings in order to keep yourself afloat—which, considering how hard it is to save at the moment… probably doesn't leave you with a lot. Luckily, there's unemployment (if you uniquely qualify), which can help bridge the gap and keep you off the streets while you find new work, which your previous employer must pay a part of—unless they can devise a way to…

If yes, maybe it's time to seek out greener pastures, just as this worker did when their micromanaging new boss took issue with the fact that they were going above and beyond to fix a problem that had been plaguing the company. Some people just desire nothing but control…

This story is about a fellow advocate of the working class who was working at an automotive repair shop as a tech guy; unfortunately suffering from the shenanigans of his tyrannical boss, who would constantly yap at him and his fellow coworkers for a variety of unfair reasons. Eventually, OP realized that this was not the kind of environment he wanted to work in, so he gave in his two-week notice over the phone.

Getting fired from a job is never a fun experience; it can be a major blow to your self-esteem, and the often sudden disruption to your daily routine, along with a sudden loss of income, can cause significant undue stress. Almost always, it feels like a major step backward, like someone has plucked you up out of your life and placed you down somewhere else entirely. What's more, there's this sense of failure and embarrassment that you feel follows you into each ensuing job interview, hampering…

'And they think $7.25 an hour is a living wage': Local Florida restaurant hypocritically roasts people who take 'government handouts', while blatantly advertising their toxic work culture

Everything just hits different in Florida. Fondly known as the ‘penis of America’, Florida has proven that its mercurial population and DGAF approach to life can simply raw dog reality with no consequences. One local restaurant took that same Floridian spirit and has gone viral on Reddit through a post by a former patron, who shared a picture of an egregiously back-handed sign displayed in front of the business. Camellia Street Grill, a small local place in the heart of the Everglades, is obvio…
