Anyone want to ctb because of getting fired?

[neutralmilk]

My manager cancelled my next 2 shifts and is calling me soon. I think he's gonna fire me because I got mad at a customer that was bullying me. I'm really upset and I didn't want to be in customer service again anyways. I never thought I would be here but the job market is so fucked. I went to university and I have a year of professional experience in an office role. I'm officially poor and I'm so pissed that I followed all the rules that were supposed to get me a house and stability and a good job but it didn't happen. I already wanted to ctb since I was a kid and I've weighed the pros and cons all the time. This poverty and the potential of being fired is just another con. I'm not that scared about these feelings because I've been here for so long and so many times (I made this account in January 2024). I don't want to be in fucking customer service but I don't want to be fired because I can barely afford my rent each month. I feel like I can't do this living thing anymore even tho I have a great partner. That's not enough of a pro. But anyways I just wanted to vent and possibly chat with some ppl that also want to ctb because the job market is fucked and u have gotten fired.

I've been at the edge of being fired at my job about 3 times.
Been there for about 15 years now.
Each time found me here venting as you are now.
Put me in a deeply depressive state every time.

Just thinking about having to look for another job alone is enough to make me want to just end it. Plus all the time I put into the job getting flushed down the toilet also sucks. It's not a high paying job but it's enough to keep me above water. I think I will stay in it as long as they'll have me.

A few life lessons were learned in the process and I'm happy to share even if it's technically common sense things we let slide under our radar. Lmk. Otherwise, Im hoping you come out ok.

customer service is a death trap for a multitude of reasons but this is just one of them. nothing more soul-sucking. 8( and job hunting is actually impossible at this point.. people who put so much work into school are straight up fucked over now and are in the same boat as people with no formal education. i haven't gotten fired but have dead end job #15 and know how crushing it is to either be afraid of losing it or being stuck trying to find something else with no job at all. at this point if they're trying to fire you I would go full guns blazing and put em on blast for not sticking up for you during harassment by a customer. some would say not to burn bridges but that doesn't really apply in this age, especially not for people wanting to CTB/with little to lose

I don't trust myself to get a real job because I'm traumatized from being fired so many times. So id rather die than be homeless, so yes
