Have you ever been wrote up at your job?

Question

I gotten three write ups at my job for being absent.I got those write ups in only 2 weeks. If I get wrote up one more time I am going to get fired.

My dad said if I lose my job he is going to throw me out of his house. I am 22 years old, that owe Chicago State University over 5 Thousand Dollars, and I owe my Credit Cards over 2 Thousand Dollars, and all I did was buy Gas for my car.

I woek at UPS, as a part-time package handler, I make $8.50 a hour. I work 10 to 15 hours a week. So I am bringing home less than $100.00 a week after taxes. What am I going to do.

I am only 22 years old. What am I going to do with my miserable life. What would you do?

Answer 1

The law says that once you reach 18 you're an adult. It used to be that parents threw kids out (if they didn't leave by themselves) at age 18 to get their own job and apartment. So don't whine, you're an adult now, you can handle this.
By 21 usually people have their undergrad degree and owe over $16,000 and have no job, so you're in an ok position.

First of all you should stop being absent from work so that yo can get a good reference from UPS in the future. Then determine which of your friends could make sure you get to and from work if your own car can't get you there. See if you can either work on the net or get a second job near where UPS is and work the two jobs, go directly from one to the other. Then as time moves by and you've not been absent in a long time see if you can sign on for full-time work for UPS, FedEx or USPS, etc.

Pay the lowest amount on the credit cards allowed and don't buy anything for many many months. Are you on a repayment schedule for schooling? If so pay the lowest amount. What you need is additional income and some disciplining yourself.
The way you discipline yourself is to set your sites on the future and work toward goals.

There's always relatives who could take you in for a couple of weeks in one of their bedrooms. Sometimes friends can do that too. But you can also rent a room or an apartment and you pay half. The problem with that is that you need upfront money, so get that second job.

Answer 2

The first question is, why were you absent three times in 2 weeks?

The second question is, why are you still living with your father at 22 years old?

The third question is, why did you charge over two thousand dollars on gasoline?

The fourth question is, why haven't you gotten a better, full time job yet? McDonald's pays better than what you're making.

The final question is, when are you going to grow up?

The answer to your question - have I ever been written up at my job - is no. I work in an adult workplace. We don't play kid games.

Answer 4

Indeed, why limit oneself? you never know how you'll feel in the future about any tattoo. it's just generally not a good idea. Imagine the future 80 somethings in the old folks home with the facial, neck and other tattoos. LOL!
