Lets just say, hypothetically - you were fired and no work for months

[diamondcut]

If your employer called you over the phone and said you were fired, not laid off, effective immediately, totally caught off guard

And you have searched for another job for close to several months and your personal savings was drying up

Yet at this time the burger joint down the street always had an open position for you to work , but the only thing was that you would always see people you knew there from school, work, family etc. They would be paying you minimum wage and crappy hours (low hours, 12-3 and 5-8 lets just say



How many of you would work there? And how many of you would not and hold out for longer, even though no employment which was as respected or high paying as your previous job can be seen in any immediate  future?





Im curious bc there is some serious "flipping burger if u need to" mentality here

You could always sell your used posing trunks on ebay.

Thats why i threw in the whole fired aspect, so people cant work the system and get paid for doing nothing

If you are fired u get no unemployment checks




And btw this isnt about me, LOL

Well lets just say that unemployment was not an option (which it isnt for a lot of college graduates since they never held real jobs) so it is a bit of reality

The name of the game here is flip burgers or dont take the job and plunge deeper into debt

[makaveli25]

Parents own a real good burger joint they pay well. They have employees for up to 10 years. If you're a full time cook you make great money. My parents are prob the fairest buisness people I know. So it depends on what kind of place. I wouldn't work at mcdonalds though.

[El Diablo Blanco]

You're a fucking idiot.  Get a job at the burger place and sell drugs out of it and steal money from the cash.  Purposely don't ring up orders and pocket the money.

[TrueGrit]

I'd rather do home invasions and car jackings than flip burgers.










Damn, I see why the ghetto boyz do what they do now. Thanks for the thought experiment.

well then they do whatever it takes to get by time being,,,,

[Overload]

I would do whatever it took to keep income flowing.

I have no shame.

I don't knock anyone who works for a living.  Even if they are the Greeter at Walmart, they have my respect for working for a living.

For a lot of people they wouldnt be able to get any kind of desk job with theft on their record, so that option is moot

But selling drugs and stealing money becomes appealing as shown in todays economy, even corporations are doing massive layoffs but the CEOs are making hundreds of millions in bonuses per year

[Ursus]

If I got laid off I would work anywhere

[Rearden Metal]

With a kid on the way I'd work whatever came my way but I'd be actively working my resume for better positions.

Of course anyone with any hustle at all never has to work a burger joint.

Depends if uneemployment sides with you. I know two people that this has happened to...
Anyways, I would work the burger joint---plus you get to eat there?
Hell yeah. There is nothing embarassing about a legal honest job...I've always worked, and I've had some trifling ass jobs.

[BigCyp]

Show us your moms Tits or fuck off burgerboy

Hahahaha you beat me to it

There is honor in all work.  There is only dishonor with slackers looking for someone else to take care of them.

If this person was fired in that fashion then chances are they deserved it.  Being laid off when you're qualified and capable and haven't performed poorly is a different situation.  Regardless of the economic climate bad employees won't last.  Perhaps a minimum wage job would be sobering, helpful experience for this person....a needed wake up call perhaps.

I`ll tell you what,if the bill collectors are knocking on your door,and your fucking starving,and baby needs a new pair of shoes,you`ll be a burger flippin` mother fucker !

Lol if I was younger than 22 yes, I'm almost 25 I'd never work anywere with a bunch of jailbait.

But in general I would flip burgers those kinds of jobs are fun for a while, no responsibility, etc etc.

I work at a 7/11 gas bar atleast until tuesday, the job is easy as shit, basically get payed to stand and activate pumps.

I love the job, minus the fact i gotta work 30 plus hours a week, while in school.
