I was just laid off "due to budget cuts" and now I can't afford my rent - General

[QUOTE=HookerVomit;28108152]You should apply to work for your city. (If they are hiring) Government work pays well. Or move back in with your parents till you're back on your feet.

The county I am in is pretty much broke in all areas besides law enforcement. I'd apply to be a cop, but I'm not 21 yet.

If I knew I could panhandle on facepunch I would have done it for the 6 months I was below the poverty line, I couldn't even afford Kroger foods or toilet paper. I had to steal it from my college.

Undoubtedly he's already looking for a new job and trying to get a new steady stream of income. He just needs help for rent. And you're wrong as several people have already donated.

[QUOTE=TraderRager;28108193]I think he should only send it to people who donate, it's never a good idea to post your address on the internet.[/QUOTE] People who donate already get my full name. My last name is actually "made-up" by my great great great grandfather, making it only link back to my family. It would be very easy to find me because of this, especially since I gave a location where I live in the first post.

[QUOTE=Master117;28107857]So I walked into work today... all dressed up and in uniform as a security guard in the Down Town Silver Spring outside mall in Maryland. I worked there for about 3 months feeling very good about this job. It was laid back, relaxed and we could work at our own pace. Even the supervisors were really chill. Almost every morning, the assistant head supervisor and I would always talk about video games and other awesome stuff, while the girl in the office and I always talked during my lunch break (she was pretty cute). But back to today. I walk in today and the vice president was there, which is odd because he normally works in Chicago. The vice president informed the supervisor that due to budget cuts, they would have to fire some people, and myself being the newest (along with my roommate) we were both fired. It felt awful. I gave NEVER been fired or laid off a job in my life because I have always been a valued employee. I usually end up quitting a job due to the lack of professionalism and intercommunication which makes the work environment impossible. Now, I should cut to the chase. I absolutely HATE doing this, but right now as it stands, I don't have many choices until I find a new job. I am so low on money (I about 200USD in my account for the rest of the month, which has to cover food and gas) and no money toward my rent (which is 735USD). I have nothing really to sell and I have been looking like crazy for a new job even while I was working security. Don't think I am some stupid jerk that is just begging for money for a new computer or some stupid shit, because I'm not. Remember when I gave my last bit of money to that one guy before Christmas only to find out it was a scam? Yeah, I know how that feels. I am asking for some donations. Just a bit. No Steam games or anything because those unfortunately don't help for food and rent. I will try to thank everyone personally for their kindness, but right now I have to focus harder on finding a new job. I never thought it would come to this, sigh. My paypal is -removed- (This is actually my real paypal linked to my real name. This is the only way I can show that I am being truthful.) Thank you so much facepunch. Another thing, if [B]ANYONE[/B] in the Washington DC area on Facepunch knows of any steady full-time job openings where they work, I will shoot over my resume as soon as possible. [B]EDIT:[/B] I just heard that asking for donations on FB is an instant perma... I did not know that rule, and unfortunately I can't exactly delete this thread. I just hope that the mods have some heart in my situation and my past generosity and don't perma me.[/QUOTE] Apply for unemployment while searching for a job, you fall under the requirements for unemployment. You will receive money monthly up to the point that you have been hired on for a job. At that point you must make sure you clear it up with the unemployment offices that you are currently employed or you will face a lawsuit.

Tough shit, thousands of people are going through this. Deal with it and don't go asking for charity like a pussy.

I'll give all I got in paypal right now, only $5 but at least it's something. Hope you get back on your feet man.

[QUOTE=scotland1;28108280]Tough shit, thousands of people are going through this. Deal with it and don't go asking for charity like a pussy.[/QUOTE] Wow, calm down.

[QUOTE=Anteep2;28108180]is that like £1?[/QUOTE] its $5,5

I can't give you any money since I'm not 18 and don't have paypal and such but I do hope things work out for you :love:

[QUOTE=Master117;28108198]I've tried. The county I am in is pretty much broke in all areas besides law enforcement. I'd apply to be a cop, but I'm not 21 yet.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I was going to suggest becoming a cop. My boyfriend was going to do that, but his only reason for not wanting to is because he doesnt want to chop his hair off. But come on, 44 dollars an hour versus your hair??? So, right now hes studying to be in homeland security, which also pays an insane amount of money. It sucks that you arent 21 then :/ We've been trying to MOVE out of his moms house because shes driving us crazy, and the fact that we both make 10 dollars an hour, he says we cant move out because we dont have enough money to. The location in Florida we live is so expensive for housing, it makes no sense. Especially because of whats going on here. I want us to move more north of Florida but hes so fixated here because he grew up here his whole life. I feel like its holding us back. I wish I could help you out, but I'm just going to have to pray for you for now. I hope you get back on your feet :h:

I am in the same boat. I was a commission salesman then I got terminated for downsizing shits whack, send me monies

As said can't donate, buy at least I hatemailed that Xmas scammer a bit.

Sent you £10, it's about all I can spare.

If you know people. Selling drugs can be a quick cash injection. I'm being deadly serious. I did it last year to pay for mine and my girlfriends asia tour.

Whatever if story is true or not, I sent you 10 dollar :buddy:

[QUOTE=ishownomercy;28108458]Whatever if story is true or not, I sent you 10 dollar :buddy:[/QUOTE] Well it looks like you do show mercy. :3:

Sadly I can't donate to you OP, I do hope you get another job soon.

No monnies here, OP, but If I had any to spare, I'd most certainly give you some, especially after that lorofthefat incident.

I gave you 25 dollars. I hope it helps. Also, do consider the military. I'm in the Air Force and can gladly answer any questions (or help you find one that you would enjoy) and I won't lie like a recruiter would. I've been in for about 2 years now.

Don't you have some sort of jobs centre in the US?

It's not much but I gave a dollar. sorry bout your automerge down there
