Is anybody else not able to find a decent fucking job?

I'm scrolling through indeed. It's all 3 years experience, 5 years experience required. Licenses required. Blah blah. There don't seem to be any unskilled labor jobs which are what I always used to fall back on.

The jobs I have applied for don't respond. Farms don't seem to hire. There's various hard labor jobs but they only pay like 14 an hour.

All the old people parrot this "nobody wants to work" crap.

Well, where the fuck can I find some real motherfucking work that doesn't pay less than a living wage? Fucking 1 br apts are 1800+ a month and I'm not paying that on 500 a week.

Not sure where to look but Indeed is typically all white collar jobs. Maybe you can find an employment agency in your area that can help, that is more suited to trade jobs which you mentioned in your reply.

  I work in tech and the jobs there are becoming hard to find, even with 20 years experience. I don’t have a BS degree so I get excluded from many regardless of the years of experience. They’d rather hire pajeets off the boat because they can pay them less and treat them like garbage because they are on visas.

I've dealt with these jew employment agencies.

The companies that hire you pays them 30+ an hour for YOU to work.

Then the employment agency pays you 18 an hour out of it.

I'm not letting some pencil pushers skim off my hourly wage simply because they made a fucking phone call for me. I guess that answers my issue though. I just have to start making phone calls looking for work like I'm a pajeet scam cell.

Yeah I might fucking have to. Another problem is a friend went around to the staffing places and they didn't have jobs either a month ago.

I work in tech as well, something different is happening now. Maybe it's DEI hating me because I'm white, maybe it's the influx of cheap h1b labor, maybe both. But jobs are not easy to come by these days, and you need to lie. You might have experience in some tech stack, but they want to know some slight variation of that stack that you could easily figure out the difference in. If you don't say you know that stack somebody else will.

It's H1b scamming and shitskin hiring as a big part of it. Currently looking as well right now and it's fucking obnoxious.

One rendering job some company contacted me on wanted expertise in all three rendering APIs, a specific (complex) engine's rendering system, mobile rendering APIs, AND every web dev stack known to man, plus AWS expertise. Like wut.

I'm not even sure why they contacted me tbh, I'm not a rendering engineer at all so it's not a good fit and I wouldn't want to work there anyway

Its literally insane, not only do you need a degree (unless you get lucky and get hired by a tech startup while in high school), but now they expect you to have 5 years of experience in software that has only existed for 3 years, 20 different certifications, and a load of reference just to get in the door. I'm half joking, but its still ridiculous.

The interviews are also fucking insane, if you do get one. It's common for them to do 3-5 rounds of interviews, but I had one position where they wanted NINE fucking separate interviews. It took a total of 11 hours over the course of a week.

Welcome to the world of non-tech for the last 35 years.

the point is to make you betray your values to appease the system, yet another form of humiliation ritual. prostrate yourself before the almighty dollar goy.

Yes, I know quite a few people who sold out and have he/him in their profile.

I'll never fucking do it.
