Then there's the fact that the internet makes it easier than it's ever been before to start a business.
I plan on starting a company in 2 months and I am putting everything that I can into it because I'm fed up with these employers not giving people who actually need jobs a fair chance.
While my business will be mostly online, if I ever get to where I'm hiring, I will prioritize hiring people who have been through hell like I have, yet have become strong from it and I would prioritize hiring people that actually need the job and unlike most employers, I would actually treat people who work for me with respect and strive to help guide them to the best of my ability.
Call me an idealist but there is a lot that needs to change and I hope that I will one day be able to do something about the problems that bother me so much.

I completely agree. There are times where I've considered freelancing myself. Not committing to one job for long since no job is truly permenant. From what I hear, it wasn't that long ago where people picked a job after college and stuck with it for life. Now people switch often, largely due to the emplpyers. Since I was let go once without warning or a good reason, I have come to trust employers and even coworkers less. I had to actually call up a former employer once to ask why all calls to assist in substituting stopped.
At first I thought it was a technical problem but they just told me I was not wanted anymore and that I was done. Very unprofessional in my opinion and I feel bad for anyone that has had the same kind of thing happen. I am like ypu, if I had my own buisness, I would treat my employees way better and with respect.
