No. 38

I'm in complete agreement actually. I lost my job a few months ago do to the economy sucking where i live. They told me they would try and hire me back on (it's a factory where i'm trained to run a variety of machines). I called them a few times, but they said they simply can't take anyone on yet, they are still downsizing. Again, i heard of a girl getting hired on there as part of the office staff. The office staff at this place is beyond expendable... They mostly just sit around drinking coffee. In fact, most orders and dealing with customers was usually done by floor supervisors (my bosses, co-workers). If they can't squeeze an experienced worker like me in, how can they add yet another useless office worker?
Getting back on track, since then I've taken a program which apparently "increases my employability" I applied for tons of jobs, most don't call or email me back, some are "out of applications" just like you said... It's totally fucked. I think affirmative action should now be geared towards white twenty-something males. Just like OP said, every store i go into has only women working. The local liquor store has 1 male manager, and 4-6 women/girls as staff. I asked if they were hiring, and they "suggested" i try the warehouse, for a job moving around pallets of beer with a forklift (incidentally they aren't hiring) yet... I notice a girl who looks barely old enough to even drink just got hired at the same store (3 days ago). WTF.
/end rant (to be continued)
