Been working as a *lot attendant* @ home depot for 2 years 9 months. Pushing carts and loading merchandise.

Pretty soon, will not be able to work that job anymore.
(1) "random massive firings", my post, Wrong Planet, Work section
(2) almost get hit by cars several times a day, tripping over garbage,
(3) graceful degradation. been rapidly getting much physically weaker and slower, for a long time. even lifting 50 pounds is a struggle. plenty of merchandise much heavier than 50 pounds. and plenty of cisgender females much older, and lighter weight than me, much physically stronger than me
(4) tattletale tom has been trying to get me made redundant ("Coworker Trying To Get Me Made Redundant") 4/27/2023, wrong planet, Work section

Another problem with Capatalism is you need experience to get experience. Do fake resumes work or do people actually verify that? Feels like doom and gloom for people who don't have much credentials.

It's a hard life.

I hope things work out for you, OP.
