This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

Am now unemployed and as of tomorrow have to claim unemployment. Easy bag, thankfully, as the job I had pretty much completely shut down and is currently being stripped of everything. I had a feeling it was coming with bulletins straight up being like "yeah we made almost no money this week".
Thankfully they didn't give me any grief and just handed me the pink slip. Not looking forward to eventually having to find a job but I am going to milk unemployment for as long as I can because that's what we do as a dirty commie.
What's gonna enrage me is having 10+ years of experience in maintenance, aptitude with multiple tools and fields of work such as HVAC, plumbing, low-voltage certifications and more is gonna get shit on by some dumpy-ass HR-hire that did a year in some TikTok business administration school that then tries to offer me minimum wage to which then I can literally tell them to go fuck themselves.
In case you haven't tried this already, are there any union halls in your area? You might be able to get something decent through them.
They're decent, but most of them pay pretty low for an apprenticeship at least in my area. I can land some pretty decent gigs doing what I do I just gotta wait for a while. Otherwise I'm happy to be living off the slip.
Gotcha. In that case, milk that unemployment!
Don't take that as an anti-union btw. The propaganda of "captured unions" is genuinely real and depressing here. When I worked at a grocery store that was unionized the union-leader was banging the bosses' daughter. That's not a fault of unions though, for some fucking strange reason nearly every business owner and higher-up here is related and nepotism shenanigans is constant.
It's why I do what I do because there isn't business forum ghouls haunting the field of work I'm in. (At least ones related to the local oligarchs.)
