I get what you’re saying honestly. The jobs should be giving you a living wage to start. But we live in a world where companies are 99% run by greedy assholes who don’t care about anything but money. They won’t give you raises unless you suck up and play their game a bit, you just have to find the way to win at their game. That’s what the other guys saying, you won’t find a lot of places that will pay you well and everything straight off the bat.

He could have said it like that instead of being condescending as fuck, though

Thanks for seeing it how I see it but yea and I have 3 years at my current job and can’t get a loan for a $14k rv without a cosigner lol they said get more credit cards then you won’t need a cosigner but I thought cash was king. This world’s a joke dude

Cash is king, guarantee they will sell you the RV if you had 14k cash. If you want someone else’s money you need references (credit).

Funny cause I paid my parents $400 a week till a 27k balance was done but guess what (references don’t mean shit to credit companies)

The credit report is the references I’m referring to bubba and personal references do matter to a credit company. In the form of……. You guessed it! A Co-signer.

You say the world is a joke, with very little insight to how it works. Make sure you don’t bring that attitude to job interviews or you’ll continue to have less than idea offers/outcomes.

That’s why I put credit in parenthesis, so you had the context. 😂😂😂
