An Open Letter To My CEO (somebody call a whaaambulance)!
medium ^ | 2/19/2016 | Talia Jane

Posted on 02/24/2016 6:59:31 AM PST by Wyrd bið ful aræd

I left college, having majored in English literature, with a dream to work in media.

-snip-

I also desperately needed to leave where I was living. I could get into the details of why, but to sum up: I wanted to die every single day of my life and it took me several years to realize it was because of the environment I was in.

-snip-

I like the weather up here.

-snip-

I put a bunch of debt on a shiny new credit card to afford the move.

-snip-

Will you pay my phone bill for me? I just got a text from T-Mobile telling me my bill is due. I got paid yesterday ($733.24, bi-weekly) but I have to save as much of that as possible to pay my rent ($1245) for my apartment that's 30 miles away from work because it was the cheapest place I could find that had access to the train, which costs me $5.65 one way to get to work. That's $11.30 a day, by the way. I make $8.15 an hour after taxes. I also have to pay my gas and electric bill. Last month it was $120. According to the infograph on PG&E's website, that cost was because I used my heater. I've since stopped using my heater. Have you ever slept fully clothed under several blankets just so you don't get a cold and have to miss work? Have you ever drank a liter of water before going to bed so you could fall asleep without waking up a few hours later with stomach pains because the last time you ate was at work? I woke up today with stomach pains. I made myself a bowl of rice.

Just some of the more savory bits of cheese, plenty more whine in the full opus, including a beg for strangers to give her money because (surprise) she got fired.

Poor baby has to sleep under blankets(!), even thought she said she likes the weather in San Fran?

Catch a cold from a cold room? I thought they had decided a virus caused colds.

Should have taken a math class or two in college.

Sounds like normal adult life is too much for this poor fella. Guess it’s time to move back to his parents’ house.

The losers in life make poor decisions like wasting years and money going to college seeking Instant Unemployment Degrees which add nothing to their value as an employee.

Then, they move to an area of high living costs and plunge into more debt with their smart phones and credit cards.

Before they become street people, they try something like this or move back into their parents home.

Sanders appeals to these losers.

If she had trouble making the rent payment and bills she needed a roommate.

She got scammed on her degree if she graduated without the reasoning skills to figure that out.

I guess he’s back to wanting to die every single day of his life again. Well, hurry up! Some illegal is waiting to take over your dreary existence.

Yep, “Uncle Bernie” will take care of them and make it all better.

She is a comedy writer. That might explain.

Yes, sweetie. Most of us did. I'm sorry your parents failed you so much when it came to understanding the harsh realities of post college life.

Here's some free advice. If you're only making $1,466.48 a month, you can't afford to spend $1,245 on rent $113 on the train. Not if you plan to eat every day.

If you can't find a cheaper apartment find a roommate. If you can't find a cheaper apartment and don't want a rommate, find a new job. And if none of those options work for you, move to another city.

But at any rate...quit yer bitchin'! You make me sick!

So she moved there to be close to her dad, but instead of asking him if she can stay with him ,she goes out and gets herself a 1,245 a month apt. Knowing her take home is 1,466.48 a month. Probably hasn't bought groceries lately otherwise she would have known that 50 a month, to leave 120 for other necessities, wasn't going to fill up the belly sufficiently.

Instead of looking for a better job, or a second job to supplement her income, she concludes the best course of action to follow is to write a letter to her CEO explaining how unhappy she is with the level of training, low pay, and not being in a position she desires.

Then unexpectedly, at least to her, she loses her job. So now she is begging for money the newfangled way, online. Hope that works out for her, but I think her best chance is voting for Bernie. BTW, this is why Bernie is doing as well as he is. So many in this generation think they are entitled to a life their parents gave them. Perhaps that is why she wasn't allowed to stay at dad's.

Can you imagine the cost to American taxpayers, if we have to pay or these losers as well as the illegals sponging off us?

Sorry, article writer, but English lit majors will not be able to afford anything decent in SF - and if you can't afford to live in SF, life there is harsh, just ask all the derelicts on the street. Your liberal icons can try to play with price and rent controls all they want, but command economies have a long, bloody history of failure and the market always wins. Should have taken a few Econ courses in the middle of the ego-stroking victimization curriculum.

I’ve pinpointed the cry baby’s problem: RENT TOO HIGH. Move to cheaper digs.

That's what I thought too while I was reading this fascinating tantrum but I have a sneaking suspicion it's not.

We don’t actually know that. In SF it is offensive to assume we know someone’s gender identity without knowing their choice that day.

I, for one, still have tears in my eyes over this story. They are from laughing too hard, but they are definitely tears.

What a sniveling little twit. And now Talia's an UNEMPLOYED sniveling little twit. All those years in college and you learned nothing about the real world. And then you moved to one of the highest cost places on the planet, San Francisco, and you can't afford it? Give me a break!
