Hey, you hippies, stop protesting and just get a job*!
Edited on Mon Nov-21-11 02:21 PM by ck4829
* - To "get a job", you must have a perfect work history with no gaps, no more than x number of jobs in the past x years, you must submit to a background check, a drug test, a personality test, a credit check which must be clear, you must be willing to accept a wage that can not possibly pay expenses and pay back any loans you have taken out at the same time, you must have at least five years of experience and a college degree for this job even if it is entry level, oh and you MUST be currently employed too.

Please, if you see anyone telling anyone to "just get a job" or any variation of that, be sure to remind them to add this little disclaimer too.

8. ....
:thumbsup:

And offer better wages and hire more people at a company that can afford to.
Like Walmart, a big company with tons of $$$$.
No need to hire at min. wage, and every time I go in there they are understaffed.
Yes, retail isn't the ideal job for many, but they can afford to hire more people at higher wages. They just choose not to.

4. Anyone who holds a sign at a protest saying that
should be immediately surrounded by 30 or 40 people asking "Are you hiring? We all need to work."

5. +1. I've seen ads for $10/hour clerical positions demanding 5 years of experience.
You know, the sort of job I did as a teenager with no experience.

11. Per wiki half the protestors have jobs.
"According to a survey of Zuccotti Park protesters by the Baruch College School of Public Affairs published on October 19, of 1,619 web respondents, 1/3 were older than 35, half were employed full-time, 13% were unemployed and 13% earned over $75,000."
