It's crazy to think that one felony from almost 8 years ago when I was a kid, still holds me back. I got multiple degrees, proven track record at my job sites. I work way harder than anyone else, but when it's time for me to advance, or seek out other jobs. I'm halted, I paid my dues, did my time, educated myself beyond anyone around me, I'm highly empathetic to everyone, but the system and background check says I can never, EVER have a career. Give me a chance

The problem you’re facing like many many others, is that there are just too many people looking for jobs. Employers have way too many options.

I had to pull job postings down because the sheer volume of applications were unmanageable.

With your grit and determination it may be best to look into 1099 contract work in your field, if possible

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is well.

I am looking for a part time role for additional income source. I currently work in Category Management team of a Packed Food Company in Mumbai, India.

When I look for the part time roles I only find shady MLM and some delivery jobs. Nothing wrong in delivery jobs, but I am more inclined towards WFH role as me and my wife are pregnant.

Can you guys suggest where can I find reliable part time roles?

Thanks,

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.
