Why does it need rest? Every asshole in here seems to believe I should just power through lol

You can if you kiss enough ass to climb the ladder. It would be easier for someone that has a spouse that works as well.

You can make a certain amount and still collect but you can't make much if that's the route you are going. Working on paving crews is shit work all around. You are a seasonal employee and management takes full advantage of that. Plus it's usually feast or famine on the hrs in the summer depending on weather, etc. Although making decent money, it is not consistent or predictable enough to really put enough back being a single parent especially

Wiggle back to your cave

I think you have welfare and unemployment mixed up. Fuck you and your condescending tone

Generally someone who does this line of work around here welcomes a layoff come winter due to the extreme conditions of the job. Years past I could make it work because I would only be laid off a couple months. With the hyper inflation we are seeing right now I would be highly underwater come spring if I didn't pick up another job.

No you condescending prick. I did work on an asphalt paving crew from May until Thanksgiving. Can't pave in the winter hence the "seasonal" tag

Well for seasonal workers not generally the case

I had to find a new job due to the frustration and the state not upping the max unemployment you can receive for the past 15 years

My Mom always took us to the Hills in the Cranberry mall to layaway school clothes

I do remember both, like a shittier Kmart Jamesway was

Not true

My thoughts exactly 💯
