Mother told to clean own room after caesarean

quote Originally posted by Flamberge: I'm not debating what you are saying. But if you want a job, it is tough without a way for an employer to contact you. But no, the government should not provide it, and if you can't afford one, you can't afford one. Simple as that. There's an old proverb that says "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." I think that is a wise philosophy.

Old thread... The last time I needed/wanted a job. I went DAILY.
Someone will argue this point..
You don't need that job bad enough. ...

When the government shuts down because of budget probelms, do you REALLY notice anything? Just hire scabs to replce them at half the cost. Worked for the Air Traffic Controllers. Problem solved!

We can not go on strike. As a goverment worker I get paid below the national average. I receave not health care (can't afford it plus I get from VA, disable vet.) Most jobs he where I work if you did the same thing on the outside you would get 2-5 times as much money.

What you should do is piss and moan more. Or get a job in the private sector. YEAH, we pay better. We NEED good workers. "As a goverment worker I get paid below the national average." Quote your wage, I pay my non-union peon about $50,000, Tell me yours. He happens to have more work ethic than me. What do you do? Do we need you? Honestly, I could hire 3 people to do his job and get more work out of them. I like him. A 40 year old that works That gets it; People that work and earn their wages are the worst... Go back to surfing the internet at your underpaid job. I've got to pause. Take my 82 year old uncle out for lunch...and celebrate my 5 figure bonus. DIPSHIT.
