Starting mid June, SUPER stoked to finally have a job that does good work. Been over 18 months since i lost my last job in the tech field, so this feels SO fucking good!
Nothing quite as exhilarating as getting paid to do meaningful, beneficial work
Good luck
Hell yeah, thats gonna be a new feeling for me but im looking forwards to it!
Congratulations! That’s awesome.
What a lovely surprise, you get to do a job that can make the world better, and they get a dedicated communist shitposter as a worker
Chat is this based?
Woop Woop!
nice! doing good, as day to day work, hits different. hope you meet some cool people at work!
I’ve been in tech jobs since I was 18. This is the start of something new for me, I can deal with the low pay, im just excited to say “I can wake up and give a shit.” Stoked to actually WANT to work.
grats dawg I hope you get to do some good work
I’ll be interfacing with other homelessness orgs in the city to coordinate care plans and stuff, so its the best use of my tech/project mgmt experience i can think of!
Is it for the Americorp thing or did you get another offer separately?
Its the americorps thing
Ahhh cool, yeah
Hopefully you get a better paying gig at the end of it either continuing there or doing something similar
My partner told me to tell you when you’re done with it, something about stretching out the tuition reimbursement/school aid stuff so they don’t just apply it all at once, because it’s taxed, so you can get hit with a huge lump sum tax penalty that might be better stretched out over a couple years instead. Sorry I’m dumb that’s the best I understood what she told me
So, if you dont mind asking your partner - im fortunate to not have student loans, and no interest rn in continuing education. What should I do at the end of it instead?
oh idk that’d probably be a question for your americorp people, I guess it’s not relevant since you wouldn’t be getting that student loan reimbursement stuff to begin with. Idk if they offer an alternative compensation if you don’t need loan assistance
Excited for you!
Thanks comrade! Hope you’re hanging in there as well!
Nice. So what’s the scheme? A real estate investment grift where you help get funding to build housing for the homeless that has no obligation to keep its promises after a criminally short period of time? Or just the old-fashioned skim off the top?
… I kid I kid, I hope you do some good work out there and really help some people who desperately need it.
They’re giving me a katana to go hunt landlords and I get one dollar per scalp
congo free state but for landlords
thank you for your service
I serve the Hexbear Posters Union o7
Well it looks like you’re going to be the wealthiest communist in history
You may wanna buy a smaller knife for the scalping. Seems hard wirh a katana. I’m sure I’ll pay for itself pretty quick wirh how many extra scales you bring in

Are you gonna be pushing em down the chute or manning the captive bolt gun?
Dope. Baller, even.
Yessssssssssssss
congrats! i’ve been unemployed a similar amount of time and want to move from tech to something that isn’t so volatile and pointless, it’s really cool you did
Thanks! I dont really have any advice other than chsck out some cool nonprofits around you, I just happened to stumble across this a few days ago and it moved FAST. The website Idealist might be good too if you dont know that one yet?
Good luck! Unemployment has been a fuck and I really hope you get something ASAP!
