It makes me sick the way employees are treated in this country: like objects.
Yes, employers want the sun and the moon. Not only are they demanding about a degree/experience, but you now have to know a second language. I'm not referring to the common Spanish/English requirement, but I'm now seeing languages like Russian, Vietnamese, and Armenian.
You have to have a car, you have to have a smartphone, you have to have this & that. They want all this stuff, but they don't feel a smidgen of loyalty to you. They can let people go in a second, and they don't give them a second thought. So what if they are out on the street? Not their problem. (Sorry, I'm bitter since this almost happened to someone I know. Fortunately, he went back to his hometown. Otherwise, he'd have been homeless. He lost his job, then his apartment)
A car is NOT a luxury in a city with poor public transportation. Also, I don't know why employers think cars are more reliable than taking the bus. They can break down or you can get in an accident.
You need a job to get a job, you need experience to get experience. This country is in the toilet. Yes, we need income to qualify for stuff. Everything is income based. Even Obamacare is based on income.
I'm stopping here or my blood pressure will go up.
Just wanted to comment and say I can relate....Many hugs to you.
