Constantly afraid of ending up homeless.
It appears that plenty of my coworkers got made redundant. (Things not always the way they appear.) Some articles claim that a disproportionate number of companies getting rid of plenty of employees. Grocery, rent, health insurance, and et cetera, costs skyrocketing.
My job, only minimum wage and part time. For a couple months this year, hours cut. Been working there just under four years. Zero job skills. Autistic. No car, which eliminates plenty of jobs. Doctor's note, not allowed to lift over fifty pounds. Got made redundant from plenty of jobs. (unstable work history). Exhausted all the time. 41 years old. Zero work references. "At will" employer.
Looking @ the homeless makes me wonder what makes me different from them. The slightest thing could happen and I could end up homeless, s**t.
Today, @ Safeway, saw a security guard get rid of what looked like a homeless woman. "Go!", the security guard said. "Ok, sir, ma'am, whatever you are," the old woman said. Makes me afraid that I will end up so in debt that I have to resort to shoplifting from Safeway. (@ least shoplift from a more expensive supermarket.) Nor do I really wanna be the security guard. Some job listings say security guards only earn about minimum wage. And I do not wanna have to stand around trying to stop precious lil "people" from doing what they want to do. I do not want to be a security guard or a shoplifter, but sometimes economic situations force someone to do things that they do not want to do.
