Jobs in Michigan are highly lacking.

So, I’ve been job hunting for at least two years, sure I managed one or two jobs within that time, but I end up being fired within two weeks for no apparent reasons.

When I first was graduating from High School in 2004, I had a job at Meijers, which I highly enjoyed, I had no issues, no problems, I worked in multiple departments, and I was constantly complimented on my hard work. but as soon as my brother quit from being stuward rep. I was laid off, it was around 6 months into the job and around Jan. that I was officially laid off from Meijers, and officially kicked off the employment list about another 6 months later, I kept trying to get into another department to do more work, but every time I went to my team leader, he said go to the general manager, then the general manager said go to my team leader, and as you can see I was just given the run around the entire time.

I then started working at a Burger King not too far from my house, beginning of Feb. 2005 and lost my job in June of 2006, I worked there for over a year doing my job, no complaints, no issues, great customer service, and all I gotten was a 5 cent raise, during this time my ex friend was working there as well, he didn’t do his job what so ever, annoyed everyone, always was late or didn’t even show up, but he ends up with an over $1 raise within the 3 months he was working there… what the? how does he get a raise by being lazy, and I work my butt off and I don’t even get insurance? I get nothing…

Later I found out he was hired at the Meijers I used to work at (I still had friends in specific departments there). again, he did nothing, infact, he had damaged good in a rage of temper, and threaten the managers, but he got to keep his job for over a year, and still gotten paid more than me… Does this seem fair to you?

Then I was working out in another county, one county that was actually willing to hire me, I started out at a place called Dressbarn, it was this past year in 2007 (I know it’s 2008 now I just wanted to make that clear), it was close to Easter time, and they had stock in that needed to be put up, it was suppose to take me a week, I finished in the first day in 5 hours… and I ended up being fired one week later, because I actually did my job, with no complaints, yet again, no issues, yet again, great customer service.

Then I started working at a Lazer Tag place called Zap Zone. As usual, I’m doing my job, I’m doing the most work I can do, with no problems, I was constantly getting compliments from the customers. But I still ended up fired, for three different reasons that didn’t add up, and why would you fire someone that actually is doing their job and bringing back the customers. What am I, cursed?

Finally, the last job I had, was at a framery shop called Framery One. The owner herself said I was the most perfect worker she’s ever seen, quick at picking up the skills needed, fast learner, hard worker, gets the job done and if not earlier, on time. She specifically said to me “I can’t understand why anyone would want to let you go”… well, finally I gotten fired from that job, or I quit, that is little questionable considering one day she came in screaming and ranting for no apparent reason with razors in her hands telling me to leave….. Was I fired, possibly, Did I quit cause I didn’t want to return to a lunatic, definitely.

I’m disparate for a Job, but not one that’s going to cost me my life, or any that would cause me to feel ashame of my morals, like being a striper, I don’ fell comfortable with the idea of waving my body around for perverts to watch and grope at. Am I going to find a Job in Michigan that I can keep? More than likely not… no matter how much I want to…. for whatever reason, me being considered “perfect” in the work place (this is just what I’ve been told everywhere I go), isn’t good enough… when did the definition of perfect mean not good enough? Worst part is, everywhere I go now requests that I have a driver’s license, which I can’t unless I have the money to take and then pass the test, a college degree, which I can’t finish unless I have money, and yes I’ve tried financial aid, I’m denied every amount of money that I could ever possibly qualified for cause of some stupid reason they bring up to make sure I can’t qualify it for, really it’s a waste of my time trying, or the reason why no one will hire me, is cause I don’t have the 2+ years of experience in the job that I want to apply for…. now, how the hell am I suppose to gain that experience without the/a job!?

I swear, Michigan is just full of excuses, but I’m stuck here, with no money, $3000 in debt, and there’s nothing I can do about it. So nice to know that my family would rather see me dead, or selling my body just so they get have money than to ever try to (dare I say) “HELP” me…… (rolls eyes), maybe I should murder them, one: Jail life is definitely shelter, food, and a place that I could probably live longer, and two: I get rid of the abusive bastards that have tormented me for the past 22 years of my life. How’s that for logical thinking?
