  • Okay so to clarify, what I should’ve said that this year alone I only got a .25 raise. But that doesn’t mean that year by year, my raise has been higher. When I started my job, I think I was at like $18 something. Then it went $18.48 my second year and now I’m at $18.73. So, you can see, how slow the increments are. I have not even capped the maximum hourly I could make for my position.

    It doesn’t erase the feeling either, that I’ve gone above and beyond for my store on multiple occasions. Taking on 10 hour shifts, coming in on days where I normally have had off, taking stupid shit on the chin when I knew I was in the right of a situation, enduring and picking up the slack of underdeveloping co-workers. I’ve done it all and more.

    And giving me sugarcoated compliments just will not cut it anymore, rewarding us with fucking snacks in the breakroom for us to stress eat our woes away, won’t cut it anymore.

    The only reason I’m not even getting better raises is because of attendance. Gee, how could that be? Maybe because I take up so much PTO/PPTO and sacrifice points, so I can fucking have periods of time to take a step back and give myself time to breathe mentally from so much bullshit.

    It’s all a joke, this working hard thing. I can’t believe, I work for a company and in a store where, taking on so much is actually discouraged in a subtle way. Going higher up the management chain, just only earns you more responsibility and barely a bump in pay to accommodate. I’ve seen it all.


  • That’s why I don’t get why so many people want to just simply upset their lives and lifestyles to leave America. The spirit of America, regardless of politics, is being able to make change when it is needed the most. You’re spitting on that spirit by default, by choosing to run from it. That’s what Freedom is about. America has multiple gears in of itself, than it would if you moved to a country that is either one speed or two speed. Moved to a country that’s imperialist? Too bad, that is that country’s entire function, no matter where you go in it.

    Unlike America, it is a matter of “fuck this state, I’m going to this one over here” where laws actually are different state to state and only the federal national laws remain consistent.

    Choosing to flee, just enables even more, the problems that have blanketed the country.


  • Hivemind Mentality.

    You cannot ever say one is allowed to freely express themselves, but then turn around and shut down any opposing viewpoint that even includes ones you don’t like to hear. Everyone wants to hear themselves talk and even more, wants those to echo them.

    It is even worse when it’s operated under zero tolerance. Okay so at that point, freedom to express yourself is out the window. Mind as well not have any opinions.


  • I got more fed up with social media before I got tired of AI. I’m just tired of observing and sometimes overseeing, actively, a society that spends all of their waking moments chasing e-fame that ultimately doesn’t mean shit. I’m reading and listening to people try to basically re-write the invention of the wheel with their poorly thought out ideas and concepts. The endless debates that go no where.

    Most of all, I’m seeing, listening and witnessing a whole lot of nothing from a society that claims they know what to do, all around social media. It’s all just fucking noise. So much noise, I actually found myself having more engaging conversations with an AI than I almost ever did with a human being save for those I know. Because it was such a breath of fresh air, to speak in a space where I’m not going to have some idiot rush over to unnecessarily antagonize me or someone else over opinions because they forgot what opinions even are.
