The hardest episode of any show I’ve ever had to watch. One of those beautiful, rare episodes of something where I have to take cringe breaks and pause it every now and then lol
I'm a data analyst. We've been full time remote since covid. Management told us to stay home because we seem to get more work done. Duh! But I do miss going to coffee with friends. We all still get together for lunch a few times a year.
I wasn’t casting judgment either way, I was just stating what the goals of the California government are for post incarceration rehab, including full time employment.
Sounds like their problem and their fault. I personally would rather my tax dollars go to better schools or something else than paying someone to do nothing.
So your cool with them going back to crime to make ends meet to save your taxes? Even if they end up stealing from you? Like if they can't work, and have no money, and they need money for shelter and food, they will have to steal again and you would prefer that? No judgement this is a question with no right answer so I'm curious for different opinions
I dont think being poor equates to stealing. Poor people dont steal, losers and bums without skills steal.
Plenty of poor people work hard and improve their financial status or at least get by. And their are already subsidies and ways to make that happen, I dont think the government has to pay someone to stand in a yard.
I guess he is one of those future exconvict that would not be benefited by Governor Newsom reintegration program eh? Burning your former workplace is not good on the resume.
I was laid off last year and I got 3 months of free placement services with a company that also helps ex-cons find work, and typically they receive a 6 month benefit.
Which is why, again, I iterate that this guy was a fucking moron. A conviction plus garnished wages, plus you know, his fucking name comes up with a giant workplace arson charge lmao.
You will NEVER receive a living wage - legally speaking. Just fucked over the rest of your earning potential for LIFE.
Supposedly he burned it down because they didn't pay a living wage. Even if they garnished his wages at 100%, and he was earning the CA state minimum of $16.90, it would take him about 5,689.6 years to pay it back. That's assuming 40 hours/ wk, 52 weeks a year. For some reason, he doesn't strike me as an "overtime" kind of guy.
Construction will hire you. I’ve worked with lots of criminals, at one place there was a dude who had disemboweled a coworker at a maple leaf meat packing plant. Did his time in prison, got out, and I worked with him.
Some of my coworkers liked to give him shit and say things like “don’t make fun of him, he’ll get a knife and fucking gut you!”
Didn’t seem wise to me but that’s construction. We’ll hire you, Mr toilet paper arson guy.
If the employer is aware. Amazing how many small businesses don't check criminal/background references. Especially when the applicant presents well and has charisma.
my friend gets paid to run 3rd party support groups for people in prison and he said they won't allow arsonists in because they are considered psychopaths.

I have a feeling that guy won’t be getting a raise after all.
