I worked government contracts in IT for the last 10 years mostly. After the allegation I failed 3 background checks coming back saying conviction when the case was retired and moved to be dismissed. My entire career was shot save for a 9 month contract I got where they overroad the background check with a lawyers response showing it was a false response on the conviction and due to costs I have literally nothing left. After lawyers and shit... 0 savings, 0 401k, contract over now, took a job for a distributor for a well known brand to pay bills... No background check. Even Kroger's background check failed me when the case has already been dismissed. It destroyed my life, and I did nothing.
That's some Kafka-tier bullshit, wtf.
I only know him from literature and trivia questions poised in the U.S.
Care to explain what that means to me? If you don't want to say so here you can dm me. Truth is often hard to find these days. (AI responses, monetary/ad responses / keyword manipulation)
Kafka wrote stories about confusing, impersonal bureaucracies. So people will describe something as Kafkaesque to convey that sense of being lost in a system.
Specifically in The Trial dude was judged and persecuted by the state without anyone even explaining to him what he did.
Because he didn't cry at his mother's funeral, right?
what
Isn't that the plot of that book? Maybe I'm thinking of another one.
You do, probably.
It was The Stranger by Camus, whoops.
Ha, never read it. I count it as a recomendation.
Yeah, the company I was working at got bought out and then they layed the entire tech team and pretty much everyone else. Co-founded a business with coworkers, but it's not bringing in any revenue and not sure it ever will bring in very much, so have been applying to jobs. Only got a few interviews, then ghosted afterwards. I'm guessing a part of it is I have a criminal charge pending, and the first thing you see on Google when you search my name and town is one of those mugshot websites. Maybe I should go into construction, lol.
Yeah, you should. Go into the trades in general. I got into hospital installation work nine years ago and it changed my life. I went from making 36k a year to 45k immediately because I went from salary food service management working 60 to 70 hours to hourly working 40 to 50 plus paid travel. Contractor work so no time and a half overtime. If I had been working for an hourly wage at my salary job, then I tripled it for less work, no managing people, and so so much less stress.
I learned so many skills I can't put a dollar value on. One of the ones I can was low voltage cabling. I'm not trying to boast when I say I'm one of the best at this in a hospital setting in the United States. It's a small field. I don't make nearly as much as a master electrician would with my experience but I didn't have to do an official apprenticeship and don't have any kind of license other than OSHA and shit like scissor lift.
This might sound stupid but maybe contact local media? TV especially. They might like to do a segment on you. You can obviously speak professionally and hopefully still dress the part and plead your case. This is a long shot, but it could actually get it fixed.
