Ok ok,
Unemployment, that’s such a tough and ugly thing.
Even if you get a job, after you’ve been unemployed, It takes quite a bit of time to brush off the new guy stigma and become a regular. And if there’s a recession, you would be the first one to go. You can’t get it out of your mind. You just got the job, they’re already getting ready for you to be laid off.
I have a friend who’s unemployed. This guy has never worked so hard in his life as he has to keep this thing going. He’s always online sending thousands of resumes, each with a customized cover letter, waiting on the lines and getting interviewed and making up all these lies about looking for jobs. Just listening makes you exhausted.
If they had any idea of the effort and energy that he is expending to avoid work, I’m sure they’d give him a raise. I’ve never seen someone do such a tremendous job, not working.
Then i begin to wonder if unemployment is such a tough and ugly thing. Maybe its alright. Just Maybe.
Cheers
