Life is becoming so hard for so many people with inflation and wages that just are not cutting it.
People are working longer hours and yet many cannot find a way to just make ends’ meat.
TikToker @brielleybelly123 is a graduate and clearly uber talented and articulate but she’s just lost her job and is struggling. Hopefully someone can help her with work soon. It’s not how things should be.
She told her followers: “I got laid off of my first post grad job and the one that took me five months to find that I moved to New York City for. “Basically, it’s not my fault before we start, I worked for a startup and they didn’t have the workload or the bandwidth that they needed to train me and to give me work to do…”
“I need a job immediately. The job that I was working nine to five from, I wasn’t making enough to live. I don’t have a savings because of that job. Like the salaries that people are making with a degree right now. After college. It’s just not okay, we’re working so much. And I still don’t have an emergency fund. I don’t, because I wasn’t making enough to save any of it. Everything was going towards living and expenses and community and everything else.”
“And to go through the whole entire hiring process again, it’s going to actually kill me and so defeating It’s so disappointing, and it makes you feel like you’re not good enough and I know that I am I know that I’m a hard worker. And my boss literally said that I’m one of the smartest people he’s ever had work under him and he knows that I’m gonna land on my feet…”
Now, if you don’t feel sorry for this young woman right now, you have a heart of stone.
America, what’s up. Young people should NOT be struggling like this!
