I live with my current boyfriend and for the last year he has had nothing but the world's most atrocious time in our job market, I swear it's like he's cursed or something. And of course, each time we seem to be making progress and something looks promising, something always happens.
Back in February, he got a job at a local business where he was a warehouse worker for only $10/hr. However, they hired him on with the promise that he would eventually be promoted to a desk job at $13/hr. The owner decided to screw him out of that, and then hired some other person to be a paper pusher from outside the company. He told her off about how he could literally go work at McDonald's and make more money before he walked out. (Found out later from a friend that happened to start working there that they bumped up everybody's starting wage to $12/hr, lol.)
Then he got hired in a retail store, and got promoted to an operations/inventory management position by the general manager a month after being hired, because the GM thought he was good at his job. Company's HR however, pitched a fit and forced him to go back on that promotion because "REEE HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE HE CAN'T DO THE JOB REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" (even though he could and was doing it very well) and then they transferred somebody from halfway across the country to fill that role. Oh also, that job only paid a salary that came around to about $15 an hour. Then two months after that, the company laid off all of its non-salaried workers because their profits were nosediving. According to my partner, that company literally could not balance its books for s**t and refused to hire anybody who could, so makes sense.
Then he gets hired at a restaurant with the promise of being fast-tracked to a role as a manager, and at that particular restaurant managers usually make around $16 an hour. They also decided to screw him over on that and hired some external person to be the manager instead.
Then, back in September, he got a job as an operations and shipping logistics agent. Pay isn't amazing, $14.25 an hour but benefits weren't terrible and it was entirely WFH. We were both pretty happy with this job, truth be told. Found out today that the company decided to liquidate and outsource his entire department, so once again, he's out of a job.
Like oh my god, how is the job market this bad and how has he, specifically, managed to be so unlucky? We're so freaking tired of this.
Also I am so amazed at how these companies are trying to act like jobs that only pay $13 - $16 an hour require extra skills and they HAVE to have someone with prior experience when they freaking don't. Anybody with 1/4th of a functioning brain could do these jobs so long as they have a week or less of training.
On the bright side, since we're both sick of this I've convinced him to go back to college and get a BBA in Operations and Supply Logistics, so that should open a lot of doors in the future for less crappy jobs for him.
