Everything is going great now, actually. I landed an IT job, but having no tech education or work experience whatsoever, I am afraid and a little uncertain; the company is very serious about training its employees, including newcomes on probation like me, which alleviates a lot of my fears, but so far this company has given a lot more fucks about me than any other job I had, and they don't seem to be idiotic cunts who demand middle-level performance from a guy who only managed to talk about the very shallow basics of OOP and databases during the interview.
That said, I'm still working at my last place part-time, after my new full-time job. Just to make sure that I have a place to go back to if they kick me out or something. It's a teaching job, online ESL to be precise, and it sucks ass to be honest. I used to like it at some point, especially when they raised my hourly wage when I proved my English proficiency, but these assholes put it down when they introduced a new motivational scheme with more retention bonuses, as in, you teach the same kid for 20/30/40/.../100 lessons and get more money per lesson with him; the thing is, how the fuck do I influence that? There have been students who wanted to keep studying with me, yet they couldn't afford any more classes, which lost me my income. This position has no sick days. No paid vacation either anymore - they took it away from us when that shitty motivational scheme dropped, and got us a bonus that we can earn if we teach over 100 classes in a month, which is agreeable, but holy fuck even with extra juicy bonuses for retention I managed to achieve and that monthly bonus I make less in a month now than I used to; before this whole shitshow I could get paid for up to 14 days off in amount equal to, like, an average half of your daily income for the last three months per day or something, which was tons better than whatever shit we have right now.
Everything is going to be fine.
