Welcome to Winter! The Daily Chit-Chat

No job yet due to the fact I just reached legal working age.

 

[Alley Cat]

I want a job, and I think that it will be easier to get one when I get out of HS and my JC classes allow for a more flexible schedule.

 

[Livewire]

Dead for 4 hours... smh.

I have a great job and I love it.

 

[Netto Azure]

I should find a job lolz. But argh scheduling.

 

[Snivy063]

I actually want a job, so I can earn my own money and buy whatever I want, but yeah, my main problem is my age. :'x .. I mean they wouldn't hire someone like me. XD

 

[Truality]

I'm a clerk in a netcafe store... and my payload is almost the exact amount of my expenses.

 

[Vampire://Krimm]

I work for my school district's technology department as a paid intern. It's a great job and I learn a lot :D Except my wages barely pay for the gas that it takes for me to drive to all of the different schools :D

 

[Snivy063]

I wanna go to college so bad, well I wanna work as a working student for the school. :'3

 

[Legendary Silke]

I think I'll get a part-time job while in the middle of my gap period... but that wouldn't be called a gap period, then?

But it would mean disposable income, and work experience... Actually, I already have landed a job. The only thing needed for me right now is to wait.

 

[Snivy063]

Although they usually hire people who has experience than those who doesn't have, it's kind of a bit unfair. :'x

That's ageism. Workplaces are discriminating against people who don't have a lot of/no experience and favor people who have experience instead.

 

[Snivy063]

Yes, very very unfair, but there are also some places who likes those who doesn't have any experience than those who have experience, it's just a will of luck if you get accepted. :'x

 

[Sweet Candace]

Ageism can go both ways. Workplaces can also discriminate against people of old age who maybe have too much experience.

 

[Oryx]

That's not ageism, it's reasonable to judge who to hire based on experience. Age != experience. One of my good friends had 3 jobs at once at 16, and I haven't even had that many now that I'm 19. Saying someone should ignore your experience and hire you because otherwise it's discrimination is kind of looking for a free ride, there are lots of jobs that don't need experience ;x

 

[Tyewatson]

Well my thread just got locked.. -_- Why do the rules have to be so difficult?

Anyways, I hope you guys don't mind if I have some people talking through these threads. We will have our own mini discussion seeing as the thread I made got locked! :)

 

[Shining Raichu]

Ageism is when they hire younger people because they're cheaper lol

 

[Snivy063]

Lmao, I'm not familiar with the word so .. D':

Hmm, Tyewatson, you should definitely check out the rules first before posting. So it won't happen again! ^^

 

[Oryx]

Ageism means discriminating against someone just because of their age. Hiring someone with more experience isn't ageism because you can be experienced and young, or inexperienced and old, lol.

 

[Snivy063]

Got it now, and yes what you said is true, laughed at the last part. XD

 

[Oryx]

I know a 40 year old who's never had a job in her life and is just now learning to drive :x
