That's just silly. Elaine Send a noteboard - 26/01/2010 01:05:07 PM

If you needed to make money to pay your bills and were out of a job, are there employment options out there that you would turn down just because you think you are better than the job?


No. I've had godawful jobs because I had to make some money while living in NY, or awaiting my start date for a new job, or whatever. If a spoilt rotten daddy's little princess can do it, anyone can. Work is work, and it is not acceptable to think you are somehow above the masses. I know quite a few people who just aren't bothered (and are comfortably bolstered by the welfare system here) and the urge to punch them is almost overwhelming.

Since Elaine has said it all so eloquently, I will just agree with her. - 26/01/2010 02:12:41 PM 612 Views
what she said - 26/01/2010 03:49:03 PM 693 Views
Sort of? - 26/01/2010 01:49:21 PM 686 Views
Usually, I think it's stupid to turn down a job, particularly in those circumstances. - 26/01/2010 02:21:59 PM 679 Views
I agree - 26/01/2010 02:47:22 PM 644 Views
...and instead you would ask your friend to loan you money? - 26/01/2010 02:53:38 PM 691 Views
No, friends and loaning money don't mix so well - 26/01/2010 03:03:12 PM 877 Views
So - 26/01/2010 03:12:45 PM 704 Views
I seriously don't mean this to be near as nasty as it sounds... - 26/01/2010 03:21:40 PM 743 Views
I think that works in the short term but not in the long term - 26/01/2010 03:47:52 PM 711 Views

As you presumably guessed already... - 26/01/2010 06:39:54 PM 682 Views

Re: As you presumably guessed already... - 26/01/2010 07:31:46 PM 671 Views
I think it's offensive to those EMPLOYED in those jobs. - 26/01/2010 07:53:54 PM 728 Views
Yeah that's totally what I said *NM* - 26/01/2010 08:05:30 PM 325 Views
To a degree, it is. - 26/01/2010 08:21:04 PM 716 Views

You seem to ignore the main point of my post entirely and just repeat what Joe said, tbh. *NM* - 26/01/2010 10:06:11 PM 325 Views
I think it smacks of elitism and class - 26/01/2010 10:13:11 PM 593 Views
Like we discussed above, yeah. - 26/01/2010 10:39:23 PM 703 Views

Re: Kinda funny, eh? - 27/01/2010 01:20:24 PM 625 Views
Which leads back to me saying I do not support the poster's friend's attitude *NM* - 27/01/2010 01:21:49 PM 373 Views

Absolutely not. Whatever it takes to take care of my family. *NM* - 26/01/2010 03:14:09 PM 296 Views
The asking for money is where I'd have to draw the line, I guess. - 26/01/2010 03:23:44 PM 616 Views
it would depend on my circumstances. - 26/01/2010 03:46:33 PM 538 Views
I think I would only not work at McDonalds. I'd even do Burger King or something, just not McDonalds *NM* - 26/01/2010 04:27:07 PM 360 Views
what do you see as the difference? *NM* - 26/01/2010 04:42:10 PM 272 Views
I just don't ever want to be known as a McDonalds employee. - 26/01/2010 06:08:53 PM 637 Views

Life should really work out that way *NM* - 26/01/2010 06:27:33 PM 326 Views
There are a lot of jobs that I would refuse - 26/01/2010 06:33:07 PM 597 Views
