Guy complains about job to CEO, gets fired.

It actually sounds like a touching letter, but the further I read, the more I realized this kid was just being a little bitch who thinks the world owes him something because he managed to not skip class for 4 years at a University.

Opinions?

[QUOTE]An Open Letter To My CEO

Dear Jeremy,
When I was a kid, back in the 90s when Spice Girls and owning a pager were #goals, I dreamed of having a car and a credit card and my own apartment. I told my 8-year old self, This is what it means to be an adult.

Now, seventeen years later, I have those things. But boy did I not anticipate a decade and a half ago that a car and a credit card and an apartment would all be symbols of stress, not success.

I left college, having majored in English literature, with a dream to work in media. It was either that or go to law school. Or become a teacher. But I didn

A ton.

Dude basically blamed his CEO for forcing him to move into an apartment and get a cellphone and pay for internet.

He basically made up every excuse in the world, and while I know what he is saying is true, and I empathize with him, everything he complains about paying for, he can do without.

Basically, he thinks he deserves more without working for it. This was the best part:


I haven’t bought groceries since I started this job. Not because I’m lazy, but because I got this ten pound bag of rice before I moved here and my meals at home (including the one I’m having as I write this) consist, by and large, of that. Because I can’t afford to buy groceries. Bread is a luxury to me, even though you’ve got a whole fridge full of it on the 8th floor. But we’re not allowed to take any of that home because it’s for at-work eating. Of which I do a lot. Because 80 percent of my income goes to paying my rent. I

And... that's the CEO's fault because...?

Truthfully, I get what he's saying, but I also know he's expecting someone to fix problems for him that he can obviously fix himself.

I do think this is a great example of the Millennial mentality though.

I did read it though.

if i were his boss, id fire him too for writing me a letter with "#goals" in the first sentence.

[UK2K]

Thanks.:cheers:

Sounds like he took out a bunch of loans, got a basic degree, moved to the Bay area to live the dream, and then realized he wasn't going to be working his dream job right out of the gate.

Then came the oh shit moment. Cause like clockwork, that rent keeps coming every month.

[nathanjizzle]

im 27, last summer i hired a 24 year old to work part time. part time being fridays and saturdays for 6 hours a day. He was the son of a truck driver that use to pick up my shipments and his dad asked me to give him a job because his son was fat and lazy. On the first day of work, he worked for 3 hours and i gave him a ride to subway and gave him 5 dollars to get food, when i handed it to him he stared at it and got out of the car. when i went to pick him up after lunch i found out that he complained about me giving him 5 dollars to buy lunch. Not only did i give him 5 dollars, but i was also paying him 10 dollars for the hour of him sitting his fatass and eating his lunch, and he has the audacity to complain about it. Kids these days are spoiled, they believe that they are bright and deserve something they havent earned. especially this retard that i hired for a short stint.

[IcanzIIravor]

That kid learned a valuable lesson. You're just a cog in the machine, especially at that level. Plus it doesn't look like the guy did much to try to remedy his own situation. No mention of trying to get a roomie or maybe seeing if he could rent a room at someones house or place. Can't afford a cell then lose it. I think less whining and more actually showing concrete attempts at trying to remedy your own situation might have helped...nah not really. If you are bold enough to write something like this then you better have been job hunting and have a second job lined up before you hit send.

[warriorfan]

skimmed it

but would of fired him as well

That was the ironic part. It reads like a very thought out, very well written piece. He's clearly talented, just... entitled.

UPDATE: As of 5:43pm PST, I have been officially let go from the company. This was entirely unplanned (but I guess not completely unexpected?) but any help until I find new employment would be extremely appreciated.

who wants to bet this whole thing is made up and just a scam? :lol

I skimmed it but he/she encompasses the typical millennial mindset of blame everyone else for my issues. He/she moved to one of the most expensive places in the United States for a minimum wage. Sorry that is financial suicide right off the bat.

Also living in a studio (I'm assuming no roommates) and a cell phone bill of $700 are luxuries. Yes, we millennials have been screwed compared to the lifestyle our parents had but you need to learn And adapt instead of complaining and blaming the world.

I don't have a degree and I am living a pretty comfortable lifestyle.

Your income doesn't matter as much as the way you MANAGE your finances.

I can't help but shake my head at kids like these. I know plenty of undocumented illegals(disadvantage 1) who work tough jobs while supporting families.

A degree doesn't mean much if it isn't highly valued in the market. Some people do not get this.

But yes managing your finances is crucial but this person is living in in one of the most expensive parts of the country. The person either needs to find a skill that will make him/her more valuable in the marketplace to afford the high COL or leave the area for a cheaper COL city or state.. Or he/she could write a letter to his boss complaining about his pay. I guess there is always that.

If you wanna move to another place to get your first job, it better be somewhere with affordable and good living standards. The piece reads like a whiny diary of a teenager :facepalm

So many of the jobs created by this supposed recovery (and the jobs numbers are the only economic indicators that aren't awful--the rest of the data is looking recession level bad) are in the service sector (i.e. low paid), and so many of them are part-time, with an unprecedented number being worked by people in their 50s and 60s, who can't afford to retire like they used to (and yet people still use demographic changes to excuse the woeful labour participation numbers).

It's amazing that, no matter how many artificially inflated bubbles the government creates to prop up a floundering economy, people fall for the same shit time and time again, and ridicule those who tell them the fundamentals are bad, and that the party of easy money and cheap credit isn't going to last. They literally never see this shit coming, and then after the fact, they always find someone to blame it on that somehow manages to excuse the role played by the government and the FED.

The FED has become a highly politicised instrument, and FED chairmen/women now see themselves as part of whatever administration happens to be in power (Bernanke with Bush, now Yellen with Obama)--they are glorified PR instruments, used to manipulate confidence to suit the Federal administration. It's a joke.

It's remarkable that people can't see the correlation between the build up of the financial sector, and the establishment of the national bank. There were problems without the central bank, sure (there are always problems, no solution to anything is problem free); but to establish the national bank was a mistake, akin to burning down a house to get rid of its rats.

It's not like people weren't warned what the consequences would be. And now, it's much easier to ignore this institutional problem and blame it on the evil hijinks of banks (whose avarice has been encouraged by the Bank for a century or more), and to pretend some kind of regulation can solve the problem (ha! I love this ridiculous idea of "independent" regulators, as if any institution of such importance could ever be independent).

Both Henry Clay and James Madison considered the Bank to be unconstitutional, and yet they changed their minds for the purpose of expediency. There was a reason many opposed this measure: it constituted a vast centralisation of power and therefore would inevitably become a centre of corruption, bribery, and double-dealing. Anyone who understands human nature (and its inclination for avarice) recognised this, but, as always, the irrational optimists won the day.

We are a service economy. Those are the jobs we have. The post war economy is not coming back. This isn't some grand cover up purported by the Feds. Everyone knows the type of economy we have today. You either go to school for a STEM degree or you work shit jobs. The question is whether we want to forcibly make the shit service jobs of today the old manufacturing jobs by instituting a mandatory $15 min (30K annual) and benefits.

Yup, anyone who actually looks closely at what is happening over time can see this. Those who focus on just one or two statistics (like the administration) won't. The effects are even magnified with this generation. Milennials can't leave the house until later in life. Harder to raise a family with single income. Stuck on parents health insurance. Getting squeezed into smaller and smaller homes if they can even afford to purchase one. Either that or rent for life. Saddled with debt before they can get their first real job. Also have to finance a car if they don't want to be stuck with public transportation. They altenatively call this the sharing generation like it's some innovation or new way of thought, but in reality it's the coping mechanism to combat the crippling rise in the cost of living, something no one would actually prefer if they were economically better off.
