  • You can try and justify this nonsense all you want but the fact is we do know how a good business operates because they don’t operate the way yours does, and that’s reflected in your self pity about how hard it is for your business to compete in the market without resorting to awful behavior. All those Good businesses out there that you find it so hard to compete with are doing so well at making it hard for you because they aren’t playing games like this. A good business can put a job posting in and get a qualified applicant in short order.

    So instead you come to Lemmy and cry about what a struggle it is as a poor victimized small business just trying to compete in the big scary world of capitalism, while waving a huge red flag with “We’re not worth working for” over your head at all times. You’d think the way you’re being publicly annihilated would be enough to trigger some introspection but I guess not

    I haven’t applied for a job in over a decade as the best companies will come to me, but if I happened across your job listing and it interested me enough to apply, only to find out it’s a ghost job, you’re immediately blacklisted and there’s literally no amount of money you could pay me to even hop on an interview call with you.









  • You’re avoiding the question. Where did this “life savings” money come from that it wasn’t income for either your mom or your dad? The things you’re saying don’t add up at all.

    Taking care of the children you chose to have and doing chores that literally everyone on the planet has to do is not deserving of some special consideration or award. I’m an unpaid maid, cook, and gardener too, as well as an unpaid electrician and plumber when necessary, and then I also have to go to work full time. In doing so I will retire using my own hard earned money, not someone else’s. Your mom worked half as hard as the average adult today and she “deserves” to retire at the expense of other people? Yeah right.

    If your mom’s level of labor for you was so beneficial to you and you believe so strongly that she deserves to retire, then how about you pay for her to retire? Are you not the one she did all this “unpaid” work for? It’s touching that you have so much love and respect for your mother, but once again that doesn’t mean anything to anyone else but you.

    The way you’re describing this situation your mom lived a privileged life and never earned her own money and your dad didn’t consider retirement for either of them and now she somehow was gifted a bunch of money to buy real estate and live off of somebody else’s dime. You need to understand that this life path is not going to be respected by society at large. Nobody is going to tell you that you shouldn’t love and respect your own mother but you’re not convincing anyone on here to either.
