The only job offers I got in 2 years were from call centers that track even how long it takes you to pee.

A travel agency goes around a holiday island and asks people how their holiday is going. The girls chuckle when talking about the boys they met. I have been to that island once when I was younger. I know what goes on. In fact my post might be removed if I described exactly what I've seen there and what the giggles from the pretty girls dressed in long summer dresses are leaving unsaid.

I get depressed because I only went once. Because now it is too late for me to return. I'm too old and broke. And in constant pain from health problems.

I read so many comments from depressed lonely young men on reddit. They think they are too ugly. They think women are too picky. But if they went into that island they'd feel like they entered an alternate reality. A reality were love and joy and beauty are possible.

Does anyone else take painkillers to sleep?

I have venous insufficiency. Could you advise me which hotel posts don't require I get through the whole shift standing up? Front desk is one (in my city almost all FA agents are sitted), what others?

They ruined my legs at 18 then again at 22 then again at 29. Tinnitus at 37. This year years later they gave me painful anal fissures. Each time I try to find a job the medical system incapacitates me even more. Then they deny to examine me or fake the examination to defend their colleagues.

All May I was answering freshly posted job ads. The AIs helped me polish my resume but they actively dissuaded me from pursuing more openings and sending more applications. They said that May was too late to be hired for the summer season and that I should rather leave it for next year.

Next year? Wait one more year unemployed? Grow one year older when I'm already being discriminated against due to age? Just sit around all year?

Open positions were being posted continuously. I sent more applications but didn't hear back. Of course said the AI! Sending applications in May just shows the employer that you don't understand the seasonal hiring cycle. It is too late to send applications now.

But I keep seeing new fresh ads I retorted; No use. AI had already diminished my efforts. Where I would have sent 50 applications I sent 10; Then I stopped. I became bitter and angry. I started having fantasies about humiliating the employers - involving telling someone that I got a better job abroad.

It's funny how AI can still make you do what it wants even when you know it's wrong. Job openings kept popping up till late May. Then they died.

"Seasonal hiring cycle"

"Shows the employer you don't understand"

Jargon and negative talk to convince you it knows better.

I filed a report to the national DPA about data being leaked outside the EU through emails being forwarded (possibly auto fwd). The DPA sent my report to the email address that is responsible for the leaks. Don't you find this a little crazy?

Hi there. A public institution in my country does not respect the GDPR rights of the citizens. The DPO of the institution covered up for them by saying no rights violation took place. I filed a report to the national dpa but I suspect they are covering up for them as well. Would you say this is a digital sovereignity issue?

There's fucking nothing to do. Boring hot tourist trap. If I had some friends I would like to get out of here with them. When I had friends as a young man, we did nothing. We just drank coffee all day and talked shit. There was nothing to do.

Some jobs seem interesting. But not interesting enough to do exclusively. Maybe on different days of the week.

I need some tips. I need to change my mentality and become less submissive to my family. I need to take some risks and get a job. What would something helpful psychologically?

My mother's influence and constant blackmail is holding me back

I don't know if I want to work anymore. I am discouraged or frightened. I stay up all night and sleep through the day. I have zero money left. I will miss the only thing that gives meaning to my life: Summer vacation

Sorry if the question sounds stupid. I see a lot of people in local ads saying they have both front desk and tourist agency experience and are looking for either job.

Does experience in one position make you hireable in the other? I could see myself working at a tourist agency if the role is guest-facing but I don't think I would manage just answering phones all day.

I'd like to try myself at a guest-facing role. I am not sure what a tourist agency employee does. Does the role involve making reservations and answering phones or do you talk to travelers??

Met him on the street. He was homeless. Said too much coffee made him angry. He was smarter than most normal people I know but still homeless. Said sth about a family he had but didn't keep his story straight. Tough to get hired at that age.

He said many things I also say and this worried me.

Or rather allowed myself be injured. I won't go into the details. What got into me? It's the stress. I end up hurting myself to deal with the stress.

Claude AI says at 45 without prior experience I can't be hired as front desk agent. It keeps bringing up my age again and again. Also says I should smile more at photos. I'm not sure what the reality of hiring is. I'm an average person, not a model.

It feels like a cage. I want to be free. Leave me alone
