This isn’t about me. I’ve been with my girlfriend since 2021, and since about last year, she cannot hold a job for more than a few weeks. She chalks up her various instances of quitting to the following reasons:
Hating one person out of an entire group of people
Her foot hurting from a surgery done 20+ years ago
In warehouse settings, the choice of music not being to her liking
There are other reasons I can’t remember at the moment, but it is a constant argument where I am always put down. Recently, me and her applied to a place called Thrive Market. She seemed to like it there, but within the first week she would come home and complain that all they play on the radio is Spanish music. The second week, a few days before she quit (after about 2 weeks) she complained that most of the people there don’t speak English and therefore cannot understand her.
Yesterday, she had an appointment for an orthopedic surgeon as she went to a local Urgent Care and they said she may have plantar fasicitus (i know i butchered that, apologies) and the surgeon straight up told her she cannot be doing warehouse work. So what does she do? She applies to another warehouse, a week after quitting a warehouse job she left solely for the fact she didn’t like 2 people there out of 100+ workers.
She job hops because she refuses to swallow her pride and accept social security, as she IS disabled, with her foot and with schizophrenia as well as basics like depression and anxiety. However, she takes her jobs to the extreme. We live with her parents and her uncle, and me, her mom, and her dad tell her on a daily basis she cannot and should not be working for a warehouse because the last 4 jobs she’s worked at have been warehouses and she has quit all 4 of them within 2-3 weeks for any given job. But she doesn’t listen. She wants all this stuff. She wants a new car. She wants a new phone. She wants an Apple Watch. She wants to move. She’s always wanting more and more and when we don’t give it to her, she puts us down. If I don’t want to walk down to a gas station at 3 in the morning because she wants something to eat, despite having food in the house, I get called a little bitch or a piece of shit. If her father who works 9 hours a day comes home and she asks him to take her to the store and he says he’s tired, he gets called a piece of shit father. If her mom says she has no money and she wants to borrow 20 bucks for snacks, she gets called a bitch. Yet whenever she wants something, she goes and applies for jobs she cannot do, quits 3 weeks later due to racism issues, and then barks at all 3 of us when we won’t help her because she can’t help herself.
I love this woman and I know this isn’t the best subreddit for this, but can anyone recommend a course of direction for her? She dreams of being a CNA but nowhere accepts financial aid, one place does but she said she doesn’t want to pay monthly loan payments.
