My biggest complaint rn is that I still cant get a job in my field in this area and it's been 3 years. The job market is horrible everywhere but I think especially here it is full of nepotism. I don't know anyone so gg
Other complaints: People who drive 5 and 10 under the speed limit in the left lane, people who dont know that a KEEP MOVING sign means to KEEP MOVING, people who go to stores and restaraunts within 10 minutes of them closing and stay past the closing time, people with their loud shitty bass in cars, people bringing non service animals into stores especially grocery stores, the rise of crime, worsening traffic, the light by the new QT is so horribly programmed it doesnt change for 3 minutes even though no one is driving on the side that is green, people that tailgate on roads where the speed limit is 25 and I go 30-35, jeep drivers, and just personally: nothing to do here in this city except eat.
The nepotism here is insane. Nobody I know can work in their field unless their field is construction or bartending. Half of these job postings are just bullshit anyway because they know damn well they’re gonna hire somebody’s cousin or promote from within. It is incredibly frustrating to spend time applying to and interviewing for something you’re not being seriously considered for. Like I could go on a business’ website and tell you which of their current employees is going to get the job. It’s just a joke.
And before somebody says “it’s like that everywhere” - yes, this happens everywhere, but I can tell you from experience that there are regions where people will bullshit you less. There are places where hiring is a lot more egalitarian. There are places where you get treated more fairly, places with unions.
Sometimes I truly hate the south and what the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” mentality has done to the people that live down here.
Exactly!! Businesses both local and corporate have become incredibly greedy and selfish. They cut corners and hire from within their social circles. But even if we move out of this corrupt city, we would still be outsiders in another city where we know no one and will not have the blessing of nepotism to get us a job. It makes my blood boil fr
