Way back in the stone age before most of you were born this was true for me as well, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtpzoGj-1V8" data-time="&start=25 wolfy42 posted... and has been constant advice I have given over the years. Even if you hate your job, get a new one WHILE working, and generally keep looking to advance and/or get a better position. Wait, "was" is past tense. You said it "was true for you." You mean that it's still true for you? If so, why'd you say "was"? Or are you Bill Clintoning us right now? wolfy42 posted... Biggest mistake I see people making is quiting/leaving jobs before getting another lined up, going on unemployment and having bad work history, and not having references etc (or at least good ones) that they can use. A good resume helps alot as well, but a solid work history, and especially currently working/being valued by a company helps you not only get a good job, but get a better job than your previous one. Wait, people can collect unemployment after quitting a job? wtf! >_< Could this system be any more rife with abuse? And when I was working sales in college, I remember this one kid who quit within his first month or so -- giving no prior notice and bailing on his scheduled shift that day AFTER already leaving early the night before (because he fucked up on his schedule, showed early, and figured he was entitled to leave after 8 hours) -- then later had the gall to come back to ask for a reference. Dude barely worked there, he was a lousy salesman, and he quit. What does he expect them to say? SkynyrdRocker posted... Zeus posted... GameReviews posted... I've had jobs I hate, but I've never quit a job without having a replacement lined up. I was always of the mentality that you work your job, but actively look for other positions if you're unhappy. This so hard, tbh. But we don't have the luxury of having the government pay our bills, like Zikten does Which, if true, is a pretty solid example of the government providing incentives to NOT work. Trialia posted... smh See, this is what I don't get about the US disability system. The UK system is nothing short of awful for the most part (deliberately so, because the govt want as few people claiming as possible), but having been admitted to the mental health unit or sectioned is damn near a "gimme" for at least the lowest rate of daily living support. You'd struggle if you weren't on meds or anything, but being sectioned is something they can't whitewash & their previous screwups have led them to be a lot more cautious in accepting people who might potentially be a risk to others (which is basically how they view being sectioned), in my experience. smh N/m. The more I hear of the US and the systems with which I'd have to interact over there, the more grateful I am that I never said yes when my ex asked me to move to FL to live with her. The US doesn't have space for good faith applicants with all of the people it has mooching off the system. Like I've said before, my brother used to live in an apartment building where maybe 2/3s the residents were on Section-8, with many having off-book incomes including dealing drugs right in the building. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:924381814] in quit my ne...
