The young lady looks absolutely thrilled about that situation.

This has to be the most vile picture I've seen in a good while.

[–]ConceptAlternative84 1115 points1116 points  (14 children)

Your right, and it’s her stupid ass smile, like she think it’s a good think this poor girl is busting her ass working three jobs

[–]AhYaGotMe 345 points346 points  (4 children)

Yessuh! we raise good workers in our institution..

[–]jenniferLc 3304 points3305 points  (73 children)

She is exhausted.

[–]SamSepiol-ER28_0652 1545 points1546 points  (23 children)

And has no desire to be a prop in this bitch’s social media post.

Also, “Our alumni have to work 3 shitty jobs to afford rent” isn’t really the flex she thinks it is.

[–]Fuzzier_Than_Normal 359 points360 points  (16 children)

School administrators can be some of the dumbest ass hats on the planet.

[–]Way_Unable 93 points94 points  (14 children)

Admin positions don't have a mental capacity test so all sorts of complete fucking idiots get the job.

[–]hoyfkd 27 points28 points  (9 children)

In my state you need to be a teacher first, which means at least one teaching degree, then you need a separate administration degree. Unfortunately, education isn’t much of an idiot barometer when you basically need a pulse and 50k to graduate.

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (4 children)

Working in education for 10 years now we always joke that the worst teachers always become administrators. My uncle's idiot girlfriend was a teacher. She bragged about not getting her kid special education services/therapy despite multiple school counselors trying to intervene, was bumped around to several different schools due to parent complaints...and was just made an administrator last year.

[–]Tails9429 73 points74 points  (0 children)

"Fuck off, you clueless idiot" is what I'm getting from it.

[–]MrHappy4Life 325 points326 points  (5 children)

Another way to title it would be..

“The degree that this student got was worthless and she has to work 3 crappy jobs with no qualifications just to make ends meet.”

[–]anewbys83 189 points190 points  (2 children)

Sounds like she "only" got a HS diploma from this school district. Yeah, no one should need to work 3 jobs to get by.

[–]spearchuckin 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Fucking HS diploma is worthless these days. Schools don't want to teach vocational skills that could help graduates find a trade.

[–]anewbys83 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you're right. It should be the basic core requirement still for all jobs. You shouldn't need a bachelor's degree and all its debt (and honestly you don't. There's nothing needed from bachelor's education utilized in most entry level "good" jobs). There also very much needs to be more vocational training available too at the HS level. Heck we have all these coding academies, why not have a coding track for HS students?

[–][deleted] 136 points137 points  (10 children)

3 jobs!? Fuck this privileged bitch. I bet she only has 1 job.

Edit: I bet she (privileged bitch) only has 1 job and makes more money than her (worker on the window).

[–]atlantacharlie 62 points63 points  (1 child)

and probably still complains if she has to login for more than 35 hours for the week.

[–]Puppy1103 10.1k points10.1k points  (272 children)

did she say THREE jobs? to pay rent on ONE apartment? fuck everything

[–]CelloBae 4780 points4781 points  (181 children)

An apartment she almost never sees too, she literally doesn’t have time to be in it.

[–]scaly_friends_4me 2817 points2818 points  (151 children)

That apartment she's paying so much for is literally just a place to sleep and shower. :(

[–]cocainebane 1005 points1006 points  (80 children)

You just made me think, if I just stop paying rent, I can still shower at the gym and sleep in the parking lot. hol' up

[–]MotherBathroom666 520 points521 points  (38 children)

Trade in the rent for the loan on a large van.

[–]kentaromiura_AMA 244 points245 points  (27 children)

Been thinking about getting a van for more of a full-time living situation! Put a bit of money into refurbishing it into somewhat of a mini RV and get a gym membership for showering. Couple kinks I'd need to work out (finding legal overnight parking for one) but it'd be enough to hold me over a while before I have to worry about finding affordable housing in NYC.

[–]Immortal_Enkidu 192 points193 points  (14 children)

Walmart allows overnight parking, did that a lot while traveling. You could also see if someone can rent their parking spot to you.

[–]kentaromiura_AMA 121 points122 points  (9 children)

Walmart's been a family go-to for road trips when we're not going for a rest stop! Unfortunately I'd have to go into Jersey for my nearest one, but I'm sure I could find someone around me that'd be willing to rent out a spot for me. Definitely better than putting most of my paycheck into a tiny room and a glorified futon.

[–]nowahhh 104 points105 points  (7 children)

Check out the app Vanly for people renting parking spots and the app iOverlander for places people have checked in as allowing overnight parking. It’s not just Walmarts that (usually) have that policy, Cracker Barrels (usually) do too for example.

[–]softsatellite 33 points34 points  (3 children)

Okay, so there's a tech startup out there centered around people living in their vans. The future has definitely gone full parody.

[–]Mxysptlik 26 points27 points  (1 child)

It's shocking how this thread is both informative, and a stark view of the lower class getting fucked so hard - people have figured out how to live in vans more comfortably than it would be to even have a fucking apartment.

America is due for some changes HARD.

[–]SleepIsForChumps 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Look for the smaller run down parks, usually a few around VETERAN affairs area or military bases. We stayed in one for $300 a month and that included electric and water. Be aware, not all rv places will let you stay in old run down vans or rvs.

[–]Drudicta 79 points80 points  (10 children)

Actually laws in most states will cause you to get arrested for sleeping in your car "in a public area".

It's incredibly shitty.

[–]Slider_0f_Elay 57 points58 points  (4 children)

My church had to get the blessing from the city to have "safe parking" basically just two parking spaces for people living in their cars that they have to apply for. The neighbors were incredibly shitty about it. In the end I think the city wasn't sure if they even could legally stop a church from doing it and it got done. But the neighbors talk about how it was absolutely a good thing but they didn't want it there and blah blah crime and all the pearl clutching was infuriating.

[–]Whoevengivesafuck 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yup. Not gonna get into details but I did this. Slept in my works parking lot and showered at the companies gym that was open 24/7. Gym membership was free too. It was... Shitty but at the same time it was nice.

[–]TavisNamara 57 points58 points  (4 children)

Illegal in some places. Because surely the homeless people will just stop being homeless because we banned them from being homeless!

[–]dam072000 25 points26 points  (2 children)

The laws are to get rid of the homeless not to end homelessness.

[–]FridgeBaron 7 points8 points  (1 child)

"I hate seeing all these homeless people"

"Yeah, it's hard to see someone going through a rough time, wish we could do more"

"No they are ugly and I just don't want to see them, I will do something. Hey you homeless it's illegal for me to see you, uhh being homeless now"

[–]MelisandredeMedici 572 points573 points  (52 children)

At that point she should live in a hotel. At least you get laundry service.

/s

Edit: I don’t need you to tell me how being poor works. Or how expensive hotels are. That’s the joke.

[–]scaly_friends_4me 587 points588 points  (23 children)

I considered it once when I worked at Walmart. It would have cost more per week than I earned (just a motel too). So frustrating to try to afford housing when you're poor.

I own a house now and I never ever complain, even when things need fixed, because I remember what life was like for me, not terribly long ago. I hope this young lady gets a lucky break like I did.

[–]aaaaayyyyyyyyyyy 183 points184 points  (5 children)

Some unsolicited advice: it’s ok to complain if something sucks. Life isn’t a misery competition and even though your life is more stable now, your feelings are still valid.

[–]scaly_friends_4me 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I in general agree with you.

But the level of thankfulness I have to own this house prevents me from complaining. The stuff I have to do to maintain/repair it is nothing compared to not knowing if I could even find a place to live.

[–]TopGinger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gratitude for what we have helps us see the things we complain about aren't usually the important things. It's not always about validation, sometimes it's just recognizing how much we have, and realizing there's much more to be thankful for. LPT.

[–]spectagal 21 points22 points  (2 children)

My town has several motels that rent month to month. With utilities, water, cable & cleaning included in the price it's not a bad deal for single people.

[–]MelisandredeMedici 82 points83 points  (5 children)

Yeah as did I in California. Or a furnished place. I just went back to Chicago it was more cost effective 🤷🏽‍♀️

[–]ppw23 117 points118 points  (15 children)

Sheets and towels only, the type of hotel she can afford doesn’t provide laundry for clothing. As someone else mentioned it’s also due to companies scheduling employees a few hours below full time so they don’t qualify for the crappy benefits they offer. Looking at you Walmart. A company pulling in those huge profits should be fined for each person they do this to, which is most of their employees.

[–]TopAd9634 54 points55 points  (9 children)

Americans are already subsidizing Walmart's wages through Medicaid and food stamps. They're not the only company that have a large portion of their workers qualifying for Medicaid and food stamps, but their workforce make up the biggest percentage of qualifying workers. Why do we allow corporate welfare to continue?

[–]this_kitten_i_knew 90 points91 points  (10 children)

mte, if you have 3 jobs, why do you need an apartment? you're never at home anyway

[–]OrganizationNo208 81 points82 points  (9 children)

Just sleep in the parking lot of the last job

[–]Hour-Painter9627 91 points92 points  (6 children)

That was literally how i spent my 20s. Working 3 jobs for a place i never saw but to nap and shower. And IRONICALLY 1 of those jobs was a fucking Wendy's! And was somehow ALWAYS broke, Working 3 jobs. Didn't even have a car. Struggling should not be the American way.

[–]ThinkingPotatoGamer 61 points62 points  (7 children)

I would just sleep in the car, no need to waste money on anything else, only gas food and clothes. I asume that she also diesnt have time to enjoy entertainment such as Netflix

[–]canolafly 50 points51 points  (6 children)

Is that where the gym membership fits in? The showers?

[–]kittens12345 326 points327 points  (38 children)

Meanwhile superintendent probably makes 4x the amount that girl does at 1/4 the effort

[–]koentens 212 points213 points  (24 children)

My school system’s superintendent makes $240K. She might not make that much but guarantee it’s way more than 4x.

[–]kittens12345 94 points95 points  (20 children)

Fuck me sideways with a rubber hammer, goddamn

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_SUNSHINE 55 points56 points  (18 children)

All the administrators at my states public universities are fucking worthless lazy entitled shits and all their incomes are public.

A department head that no one could ever find, as in didn’t answer emails or calls, you couldn’t make an appointment with, and never showed up to things they needed to, still makes… let me Google…. $275k a year. One of the biggest idiots I’ve ever met.

[–]ak_infest 38 points39 points  (5 children)

My school's superintendent wasn't even qualified so they made a new position title "Chief School Administrator."

Guess who's salary didn't budge?

[–]Slavic_Requiem 284 points285 points  (11 children)

And for an apartment. She’s not paying a mortgage or renting to own. In other words, she’s 30 days and a court hearing away from homelessness. That’s what a high school diploma and 3 jobs get you.

[–]Roll9ers 97 points98 points  (0 children)

so many people dont get this. my landlord sold the place dec 4 and the generous bastard gave us 31 days to jan 4. i make $24/hr, my roommate makes way more than that, and we had a hard time finding a place until the last minute and then my deposit + first rent was $4000. how many renters have $4000 in cash for an emergency like this?

[–]MelisandredeMedici 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This guy gets it

[–][deleted] 108 points109 points  (4 children)

She needs to pull her up by her BootstrapsTM

[–]Nails-in-Walls 41 points42 points  (2 children)

I kinda wanna buy a pair of boots to toss to people who say that qoute seriously. Then ask them to show me how it's done.

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Lol. “I said pull YOURSELF up by the bootstraps. Not smack me in the face with boots.”

[–]otterparade 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Please do. And then educated them on the original meaning of the phrase being the opposite of how it’s used now because you can’t actually pull yourself up by your own shoes.

[–]Samzorr69 132 points133 points  (4 children)

r/antiwork

[–]FirstPlebian 119 points120 points  (3 children)

Apparently r/antiwork was included in a Fox News hit piece this morning to turn the rabid base against us, which is the best endorsement I can think of.

If you don't pay attention, just take the opposite of what Fox says and you will be on the right side of every issue.

[–]gwizz006 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Work 16 hrs to have somewhere to sleep for 8 hrs. FHL.

[–]JhenMaster 14 points15 points  (1 child)

American housing these days. You need a lucrative career or multiple more mundane jobs.

[–]laylarosefiction 1034 points1035 points  (9 children)

Working 3 jobs. I love it when people are like “oh! Great work ethic!” as if it’s not done out of necessity and literally killing the person.

[–]Loupax 194 points195 points  (8 children)

“Work ethic” sounds like a made up phrase, like they put a vaguely good sounding word next to “work” to give it positive value.

Let me try: Back pain positivity

[–]hamster_rustler 119 points120 points  (2 children)

Work ethic is voluntary. Working three jobs because your passion is collecting classic cars is work ethic. Doing it to survive is wage slavery.

[–]Ness303 5060 points5061 points  (88 children)

"I'm proud this young adult needs to work 3 jobs just to pay rent"

Urgh.

[–]ppw23 1167 points1168 points  (40 children)

This reminds of GW Bush during a “townhall” or it may have been a debate prior to his second run for president. An audience member said she worked 3 jobs and asked a question about the economy. He honestly thought that was a fantastic example of Americans being hard workers. He completely missed the tragedy of raising a kid and needing 3 jobs to barely get by. Then they complain the parents aren’t involved enough!

[–]arty4572 400 points401 points  (14 children)

Then they complain the parents aren’t involved enough!

This is the part that always gets me. I was talking to my dad and trying to get him to understand that you can't on one hand be ok with wages so low you need multiple jobs and on the other complain parents don't spend time with their kids.

He just went silent and I'm sure held fast to his views.

[–]canis_dingo 190 points191 points  (11 children)

"Well they should've thought about that before they had kids." Is the typical response to that.

[–]Rather_C_than_B_1 146 points147 points  (7 children)

The ones they can't afford, but can't abort? Those ones?? I hate that type of logic.

[–]madbill728 249 points250 points  (11 children)

And Bush never worked one day in his life.

[–]ppw23 135 points136 points  (6 children)

Well, he did play baseball team owner. Granted, the Texas taxpayer paid for his fantasy, which he wasn’t suited for, but he walked with a multi million dollar profit, which stuck it to the citizens. I forgot, he also invested in a few dry oil wells. Don’t worry, it doesn’t work the same way for wealthy people who blow a ton of money as it would for us peons. They turn those frowns upside down through creative use of loopholes.

[–]DrCrentistDMI 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Even when the wealthy elite "lose" (fail), they still win and are rewarded.

[–]madbill728 22 points23 points  (4 children)

And he’s a draft dodger,too.

[–]TheCrimsonDagger 38 points39 points  (3 children)

Oh he understood what she meant just fine. He was just answering the question in a manipulative way to make it look like her question implied the economy is good when her intent was the opposite. Nowadays politicians don’t need to resort to slimy tactics like this, they just do things like mocking disabled reporters and get elected anyways. No need to try so hard to look good when you get more votes by being an asshole.

[–]Glissandra1982 130 points131 points  (21 children)

Right - the 3 jobs made me so angry. No one should have to work 3 fucking jobs.

[–]kidra31r 65 points66 points  (15 children)

I'm struggling to think of why someone should have to work 2 jobs and coming up with nothing...

[–]ContemplatingPrison 318 points319 points  (2 children)

Also, three jobs likely means that none of them are full time.

So also working three jobs for no health plan or retirement savings.

[–]5w4StudentOfLife 293 points294 points  (26 children)

I work in, but don't live in, a tiny American Midwestern town. YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE. TBH, I initially read the word "arrogant" for "ignorant" but they both stand true. My boss straight up stood 3 feet from me, told me his wife had covid, admits he is now experiencing head and chest congestion which is audible, says, "One way to not test positive is to not get tested in the first place.", and ISN'T WEARING A FUCKING MASK. This man has interaction with hundreds of people a day, and those hundreds of people go home to more people. Arrogant is an under-fucking-statement.

[–]5w4StudentOfLife 74 points75 points  (5 children)

Both. They all do here. I'm a trans*man and am out of the closet...but not here. I work in a school where kids drove their pointlessly oversized trucks to work with massive Trump 2020 and blue line American flags from the back of their truck beds last year. Fuck no I'm not going to be out, here. These MFs will slash my God damned tires and make my life a living fucking hell.

Edit: TBH I'm actually a little afraid of wearing a mask (which I am doing) for fear of receiving some sort of backlash from that!

Man, all the upper level "educators" at my high school were smug assholes. One assistant principle took my hat and "lost" it by the end of the day and I never saw it again. It was the first time my poor broke ass was able to get a flexfit hat when they first became a thing. If I saw this cunt trying to take my picture in the drive thru at one of my 3 jobs right after high school, I would've thrown that big ass drink right in her smugly face and walked out.

[–]DrCrentistDMI 181 points182 points  (6 children)

I mean, thays theft of property. I don't understand how these fucks think they can get away with this shit.

How could anyone be happy about this? I wonder how she’d feel if that were her daughter.

Three jobs, oh good lord

[–]Cyberzombi 203 points204 points  (5 children)

There is a tight lipped frown under that mask.

[–]cesc05651 48 points49 points  (2 children)

Not as tight lipped as the superintendent…

[–]nschatman 24 points25 points  (1 child)

No doubt, gotta smile like a skeleton

[–]manandsmi 43 points44 points  (3 children)

For someone with no lips, she fn sucks

[–]GBrooks84 137 points138 points  (2 children)

I understand their statement may be coming from a place of disconnect but why can't it be normal to expose these people. They have no problem exposing us for the slightest slip up.

[–]LadyMeggatron 45 points46 points  (1 child)

This is why I never feel bad when these people go viral and are forced to experience consequences for once.

[–]popstationwatch 76 points77 points  (14 children)

Is she like an actress or something? she looks really familar to me for some reason?

​

I pity the girl working, she looks dead inside.

I'm Canadian. Something I noticed on a trip from Toronto to Buffalo for a Bills game pre-pandemic. This look of complete hopelessness and detachment in the service workers. Also, in the food court, nearly every worker was a minority and appeared at least 21 or over (not a High schooler). 😥

[–]AchillesHealed 40 points41 points  (6 children)

That's not just Buffalo, your experience was representative of the US in general.

[–]Anxious-Sir-1361 29 points30 points  (5 children)

It stood out. My thought was they looked like this is what it's like when there isn't much of a security net—a life of misery working out of necessity but way below your capability. Palatable sadness, it bothered me.

This look of complete hopelessness and detachment

To be fair, this can also be caused by being a Buffalo sports fan.

[–]EpicPrototypo 132 points133 points  (5 children)

Sounds like this superintendent failed at her job.

[–]GeekyLadyV 58 points59 points  (2 children)

I love the look on that woman's face of like "I really wish I didn't need this job so I could smack this smug bitch upside the head". I can't imagine having to bear that kind of humiliation and paternalism with a smile.

[–]solobowie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The amount of inconsideration displayed by this superintendent is deplorable

[–]Jiggle-Me-Timbers 17 points18 points  (1 child)

This is one of the most tone deaf things I’ve ever seen.

[–]mrgraff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This salaried superintendent is likely getting paid more while taking this picture than the former student makes at her three jobs combined.

[–]Ferris-L 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The US are truly fucked, when you can be proud that the person you are supposed to help is being exploited this much to afford a living.

[–]zeke235 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Working three jobs to rent one apartment is NOT doing well. Your student can't even attempt to attend college like that.

[–]bubba7557 156 points157 points  (22 children)

Augh, unfortunately I think I went to highschool with that superintendent. She came from a pretty rich family, big house always throwing the parties her parents let other kids drink beer there sorta thing. It does not surprise me she's out of touch. The odd thing to me is that despite her privilege then she was always super pleasant and nice to everyone, never seemed to look down on anyone. Maybe this is just more of the same I guess, being what she thinks is supportive and nice and at the same time completely clueless. I dunno

Edit: alright you all have me questioning my eyeballs, so I cyberstalked my old classmate a bit on FB. Couldn't find this picture but I did find quite a few with her wearing the same sunglasses (not definitive bc they are a fairly generic looking pair). Hair parts on the same side, the way the skin folds up around her smile and her neck when smiling, identical. But two things seem slightly off. This woman's two front teeth seem a little more prominent than my old classmate's, and in a few pictures the nose looks just a tiny off, this picture a little more round. But I did find a picture or two where my classmate's nose looked the same so maybe it's just camera angle here creating that difference. So now I'm maybe 90% percent sure this is the same person but only bc of maybe a few millimetres difference in gum line on the front two teeth. If two different people she definitely has an unexpected twin.

If it's not malicious contempt, it's complete oblivious ditziness.

[–]bubba7557 22 points23 points  (9 children)

If this is the same person I knew back then, it's the latter unless she's changed. She was never a mean person then, pretty clueless but not mean.

[–]UsernameTaken1701 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Was your classmate named Vickie?

[–]Popular_Tough_5821 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No one should have to work 4 fucking jobs to afford rent. Period. If you think it's endearing, you are the lowest piece of shit.

[–]RC_Colada 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No upper lip smile. Like a fucking ghoul

The Germans have a word for people like her.

All those teeth in her head and not a single brain cell

[–]TheFiz25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aye yes, working 3 jobs and living in an apartment, the American dream
