Read down the article - he SAYS he quit because of job shaming but Tyler Perry offered him a long term acting gig.
And the ONLY reason this is being called “job shaming” and a media “problem” is because Fox News ran the story.
He said that his acting gigs usually lasted less than 10 weeks per gig, so he had to work a second job. Trader Joe’s let him have a flexible schedule so he could work as an actor, make auditions, etc.
I met more than one person in the entertainment field in NY who worked multiple jobs since the gigs were short term. He was very straight-forward on his interview, didn’t ask the lady to post the photo, didn’t ask for the notoriety.
Quit quickly, claim despair, and milk the sympathy cash cow?
Seems more lucrative than just reporting for work the next day.
