I just got fired in May, from Home Despot because they did not want to pay me as much as they were paying me and I got unemployment - - now I am trying to get something better or get something going on my own - I think I might one day be able to live off of steemit posts... don't despair - if you can somehow keep the faith you might be able to find something soo much better than working for "the man"...

Hey thanks for your glowing support @in2itiveart. I used to work in a warehouse for Genesis, and I knew for a fact that I was destined for something greater.
I was going to say something cool like, The man better hope I don't get big enough, because one day I will crush him. The thing about these companies, they're like a Hydra, there's tons of them, and even if you get lucky and cut one's head off, 2 more take its place. Instead, I rather inspire the next generation of business owners and startups, inspire them to rethink outside the box. Maybe one day, there just might be a day when companies treat you more like family, and a little less like a condom. Sorry for getting vulgar. Just saying, There can be a way to have a cheaper income workforce, and more care about employees.
Hey @malicered - not vulgar at all - a PERFECT description. You inspired me to write my story of when I lost my job working for the Art Institute of Colorado back after the 08 crash and was couch-surfing for 6 years. I started part 1 with illustrations tonite if you want to check it out on my page - I am a complete misfit in this society - being an artist - totally right-brained - and I survived that horrible 6 year period - so I suspect you will too. I know CO economy fuelled by weed might be better than the rest of the country, but still - I bet you will find something good - if you keep your attitude up - I know that is super hard - last time I was very fearful of financial insecurity and so I was constantly looking for "where's mine" - this time- having survived that time - I am proceeding as if I have income while being prudent - I do have unemployment for the next 6 months - so that's a blessing!
