It’s awful for people unemployed and trapped there in this economy, but it’s a truism that has long been demonstrated in the workforce.

I hope you don't have a son or daughter in that situation. Maybe you should give yourself a pink slip. If I applied and you said that to me I would sue your ass to kingdom come, plus egg your house. Thanks for posting this on Free Republic, makes us look real good.

As I said, it’s awful for people unemployed and trapped there in this economy. That it angers you and sounds unjust does not make it any less true.

Ask any human resource professional or even anyone who’s ever been in a position to hire subordinates. It’s there, and it’s why so many professionals with degrees are hurting so badly right now. Call me names all you want, it won’t change reality.

And, just so you know, I was desperate for a job two years ago. It hit here in NC earlier than in some other areas. I had to shut my company down, customers went bankrupt and left me holding the bag to the tune of mid-five figures, no new business could be found. I was denied unemployment benefits by the state ESC, despite having paid unemployment “insurance” on myself for thirteen ****ing years, because there was still a pittance of income coming in every month, never mind the thousands of dollars in equipment financed, office leases, etcetera going out.

This went on for eight months and there were several of those months that I was so low, if I could have curled up into a ball and just disappeared, I would have. I wouldn’t have minded just not waking up some morning, either. I got through it by rediscovering my faith in God and by praying to Him. I got a job with a former customer, in a field only tangentially related, and at a third of what I’d been making on my own. For that I literally thank God. It was the answer to my prayers.

So, you know what you can do with your misdirected keyboard warrior bravado, now don’t you?

‘If I applied and you said that to me I would sue your ass to kingdom come, plus egg your house.’

What good would going into the slammer do you? The fact that businesses refuse to hire overqualified applicants has been true since at least the 1950’s, when mass college graduations set in. Sounds like ‘you can’t handle the truth’.
