From an actual event today.
A. got a full-time job at Amazon. She is counting down the days until she quits. Six weeks. It doesn’t matter that she is banking money. She has set a quitting deadline.
This morning as she was leaving to go to work she burst into tears. “What’s wrong with the job?” I asked.
“It’s OK. Nothing’s wrong. It’s fine.”
That’s not right, of course. “Nothing” doesn’t cause tears.
My only response was “Let’s find you another minimum wage job. It is possible to find a minimum wage job that doesn’t make you cry.“
She started to cry-laugh.
And off to work she went.
I hope she looks for another job.
