So in TEN years this doofus didn’t try to better himself? He had 6 years before his child ws born and he didn’t take night classes or do anything to get a better job?
In 10 YEARS he couldn’t get promoted at a union job??
and this story was supposed to make us feel sorry for him?
get promoted at a union job??
Sorry but with union jobs it is seniority that counts, not ability. This person can get any other job and get better pay. Why don’t they apply? At least try!
But to your point 10 years should help seniority in such an entry level job
but yes he could have and should have tried
