I was offered a minimum wage job for $8 an hour. I was making $8+ an hour AFTER TAXES sitting on mmy unimployed butt. I had to turn down the job.
Thankfully I’m employed now.
You’re point rings true.
Exactly. And I’m quite sure you’re not a slacker or a deadbeat. The fact remains that everyone makes decisions that are financially beneficial to them, balancing the short-term and long-term potential and effect.
If that employer wanted to hire you, they had to pay you more than you were getting on unemployment. Since they couldn’t do that for some reason, they lost an employee to their competitor, the government.
P.S. Great news you got a job!
