I work for the college I attended. Appalachian State University.
Because I had to graduate school at a time that the economy got screwed up and no one has made any great strides to fix it, I had to take whatever job I could get. Mine happens to be cleaning.
For over a year and a half, I have been doing the work of a permanent employee at temporary pay. I have no benefits and make about $10.90 an hour before taxes. Normally that would be ok, but I have to take TWO MONTHS off every year. So, it comes out to be a minimum wage job.
For the entire time I have done this job, my employers have been promising to make me a permanent member of the staff, which would mean $500 extra a month plus health benefits. Making permanent was dependent on another employee retiring, a 66 year old, 450 pound lazy retard with the social skills of a rabid dog and the work ethic of a log.
He leaves at the end of this week. Two different supervisors told me that I would still have to go through the regular application and interview process for the sake of formality and to conform to state laws.
Before I left work today, I asked my one of my supervisors (one of 5!) when the job will be posted on the employment website…
He said IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE POSTED.
That’s right! They have been jerking me around for a year and a half! They said that a lot more people would have to leave before I would be made a permanent employee!!!
I have put up with threats, belittlement, bigotry, ignorance and intolerance from a bunch of backwoods retards (my co-workers) and the bourgeoisie yuppy larva capitalist piglets ( the students) for going on two years now! And I have nothing to show for it! All that loyalty and rolling over! Not a God… Damned… THING!
The lesson children: Never be loyal to something that keeps you poor. Fight it in anyway you can because otherwise you are just breaking your back to make some son of a bitch rich! A son of a bitch that gets a 5 figure bonus at the end of the year for keeping operating cost as low as possible.
To give you the idea of the shit I have to put up with. I got called into the boss’s office and he said:
“Its come to my attention that you say that we promote racism here at ASU.”
“I never said that! I said that it happens! I was speaking out against it.”
I got called into the boss’s office and threatened with discipline for speaking out against racism for fuck’s sake! That is how much those fucks will go to smooth over everything!
There is an asshole there who harasses one of my friends for being Jewish, makes Holocaust jokes and got caught looking at looking at porn on company computers on company time and he has permanent pay and benefits when the racist perverted fuck should have lost his fucking job!
But its ok! As long as it does not become public knowledge!
Just turn a blind eye to racist jokes and hiring practices! Just remove the chairs and trays and tables that the students carve swastikas into! Its not a problem here!
… Because we delude ourselves into believing it does not happen at our quaint 93.5% white college! Ignorance is the best bliss and PR!
I now have new motivation to earn my CNA. TO GET THE FLYING FUCK OUT OF THIS CESSPOOL OF A UNIVERSITY!
Oh! And despite the rampant racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and antisemitism that runs rampant. ASU made a top 10 list of schools who are the worst about freedom of speech!

And just because you are white does not make you safe! The say all kinds of horrible things about Russians, Italians and Irish!
I know from experience. I made the mistake of letting them know that I am Irish! That meant that I was automatically an alcoholic, that I ate nothing but potatoes and that I was an IRA terrorist!
If your not a WASP you don’t belong in that hive!
