Today, I interviewed for a call center job making $13/hr, the only job where they called back. I used to live in a doorman luxury apartment in Manhattan with a prime skyline view and clubhouse. That was last month. FML

a) $13/hr in NYC is like $6/hr in most of the rest of the country when you factor in cost of living. Almost anywhere else, it's great. But NYC is INSANELY expensive. b) If you could afford the Manhattan Penthouse, most of you'd have one too. So, you can't really come down on him too hard about that. Now, that being said, I have absolutely no sympathy for you. People like you are the reason everyone else is suffering. Maybe this will teach you to appreciate the value of hard work and earning what you have.

minimum wage on Wisconsin is 7.18 an hour. we get by just fine. my dad just got a 3 dollar raise and is making twelve dollars an hour I truly hope that you can learn the value of a dollar now. when I was a kid I was living way out of my means and still am but that's because my mom does for us before she does for her. it took me awhile to learn that money isn't everything. and that I needed to get my priorities straight. I grew up on wic and foodstamps and unemployment I know what it's like and it's not fun but teaches you a lot of life morals.

NO sympathy from me. I lived in a small house with thousands of roaches and a hole in the tub that lead to outside. Last year I was finally able to get an apartment that has a ****** up fridge and the ac constantly goes out...

Hey at least your trying to get a job. Situation sucks but could always be worse you just need to grind and work your way back up to the top. if you did it once no reason can't do it again.
