Well excuse me for not being the success you are. Fucking poor people not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, am I right?
No. It's the exact opposite. It's your company not putting in the minimum to support it's employees.
Welcome to a life in the entertainment industry. In behind-the-scenes roles that didn't even have unions until recently in some cases and were usually contract positions anyway. And then a series of low-end jobs after that because I moved back to Indiana where I was from because there are no entertainment industry jobs here.
What can I say? I haven't been a success.
Hey, I see you a lot on here, and from one of your other comments in this thread I can see why I might see you more often.
You were probably being sarcastic with that success comment, but just in case you weren't... Success isn't a single definition, and I hope you don't dwell on the cookie cutter model of "success" too much. Be the absolute best you can be for yourself and those you love, that's success too.
I hope there's a positive outlook for you healthwise. And despite there being some short sighted shit birds, there's also some good folk on Lemmy/fedi, and I think you're one of em. Hang in there comrade.
Thank you. To be fair, I meant financial success. I think I'm a success in other ways, such as being a parent. But I appreciate it.
Financial success is such a huge thing for everyone, I'm glad you see it isn't everything. I also meant the other things, you seem like a good dude.
Thanks!
I disagree with you sometimes but I also agree with GrundlButter.
