Now that’s some bad parenting. But you are going to need to do something if you don’t eventually wanna live on the streets. Your mom isn’t going to be there forever, and doing nothing for longer will make it more difficult.

And if it’s her that’s keeping you down and disfunctional, I can tell you from experience its 1000x better to live alone.

This sounds like getting a job thrown on your lap, unless you really hate it, go for it. You can always use it for some experience and go for something else later.

I don’t think this counts as parenting, because OP isn’t a child.

That’s a very fed up roommate being passive aggressive instead of just going through a justified eviction.

Some kids need a kick in their ass. This person is about 4 years overdue for one.

OP’s mom was responsible for making them a productive, happy, independent person. But she clearly failed, that’s on her

I don’t think anyone knows the green text poster in question, so it could be either honestly. ‘You can lead a horse to water’ and all of that

Only children think this way. Sure, your parents are supposed to teach you how to do things but if they don’t or if they do a bad job of it you’re still an asshole if you don’t at least try to figure it out for yourself.

Yea genuinely like I want to become productive but my parents have been so controlling that they’ve stopped me over and over again. Being a NEET at 26 does not happen in a vacuum.

Please dispatch is a truly terrible first job though.

They need to be started off with something much more low stakes so that when they inevitably screw it up it isn’t a major issue

In case you’re out of the loop like me and need to look it up:

NEET = This is a term used in the field of education, the acronym stands for; Not in Education, Employment or Training but young people have started to use it as a term for bums/layabouts with no future.

I hope he lasts three months, because they always need more dispatchers. So many of them quit because of the horrible things they hear. Like people crying for help while they’re being killed.

I couldn’t do that shit. I don’t have the fortitude for it.

My buddy who worked dispatch said the vast majority of the calls were elderly people who are lonely. We’re in Florida though, so maybe that’s why

One wonders how we have a functioning dispatch system. Folks have the most stressful phone conversations you could imagine nonstop for their entire workday. Mistakes are documented publically and may quite literally cost lives. It is extremely likely that you will develop trauma, so much so that counseling is free and integrated into the job. The rules are rigid, and you are subject to initial and ongoing randomized drug tests.

Total compensation: ~ 23$/hr

Where in the world are you able to have your mom “sign you up” to be a dispatcher?! To work for our dispatch, you have to apply, have a rigorous background check and a panel-type interview. And then they last less than 3 months because they make all their dispatchers switch from day to night shift and vice versa every two weeks.

They were probably “promised” the job. Anon will will still need to apply and the state will perform the minimum amount of interviews (they’re legally obligated to) only to miraculously land on a candidate with no experience. Good old fashioned nepotism.

Most likely this is fiction of a deranged person. Considering every possible situation they might get a job and how to avoid it.
