Just some words of encouragement
So before probation I had a nice retail job making okay money. Well my job found out about my felony and had to let me go no hard feelings right. After this i struggled to get a job because of my record and had to go work for my girlfriend’s dad painting company. It’s a small company maybe like less than 12 employees. Well he was paying me $100 a day so 500 a week which wasn’t enough to do anything. He paid every Friday afternoon and by Friday night i had maybe 30-50 bucks leftover after paying all my bills and stuff. I lived like this for about 18 months because no one would hire me. After applying and being rejected countless times an opportunity came through as a pipe inspector at a big welding company with no background check. I’ve been here for 3 weeks now and make 1500 every week the most i’ve ever made in my life. I’ll be off probation may 2027 so 7 more months after 4 long years. This is for the people who are struggling finding work, or think they’re stuck while on probation. It sucks for the time being but just remember it does get better and it’s all temporary.
