Call me a bleeding heart liberal, but a job should be an avenue to make your life easier and better, not make you want to kill yourself every day.

If you do what you love to do, it's not a job.

So stop bitching and just do what you love to do.

This is literally the only job I can get where I live. Nobody is hiring a gimp in a chair for anything but call center work.

So acquire so sort of skill that lets you demand more pay and get a better job. Or better yet, be self employed.

Literally, there is nothing. I was a machinist apprentice when I got hurt. Then I tried to get CompTIA certs, turns out those were a scam because nobody recognizes them, instead wanting degrees. Everything around here is either factory work or retail. I can't afford to move, don't have anything to sell. Since I only live on $30K a Year, All I have are my clothes on my back. My laptop is 10 years old and worth nothing, but I need that to work. I tried to get disability, been trying for 10 years, keep getting denied.

A job is an avenue to money. If you want money, you have to provide value. You can go be homeless in the woods, but you won't like it.

Get fired from the job then.
Either convince your boss to do you a solid so you can go on disability and then move to somewhere with better job opportunities or do some shit to get fired for real.

I figure they are creating a paper trail to fire me without me being able to sue, or even make it so I have to quit.

I recently had an email chain with him that could have been resolved in a single email, over my email signature. Told me it was wrong, I asked how it should be, they told me to partner with someone else, they didn't even know what was going on. It ended up being dragged out for an hour of back and forth. So instead of "Your email isn't in compliance, here is how it should work, fix it before the end of the day" it ended up being a back and forth which lowered my productivity.

I can't even get a retail job, they say they can't provide reasonable accommodations. Only other place that did offer me a job was goodwill, but they were only going to pay me $30 a week due to the loophole that allows companies to pay people less than minimum wage if they are disabled.

Unless said disabled people get subsidized from the state alongside that lower salary, that makes no sense at all.
Like are housing and groceries cheaper for disabled people in that scenario too?

I hate that bullshit. My company also is super strict about email signatures but they also go into everybody's profile and edit them regularly and fuck them up, then blame it on us.
>Send email
>My manager immediately is mad because my email doesn't have the proper signature
>WTF it did yesterday, I didn't change it
>Turns out company deleted everybody's and we were supposed to redo them, but nobody told us.
>Still my fault
Feels just like the movie office space where managers have nothing better to do than get on your ass about absolutely nothing.

When you're disabled, you're supposed to suffer. They figure someone is taking care of you, family, the government, etc, so they are allowed to pay you almost nothing. Basically working for exposure.

I dunno if there is anything I can do online. When I was a teen, I sold bootleg DVDs online, but that won't fly now.

Well if that value benefits both the company and their costumers, that's great.
I'm happy that you have a secure niche to apply your skills in.
I never managed to get myself into higher education, because several things in my life made that untenable for me.
I've worked a plethora of odd jobs in various career areas though, all of which taught me skills that are useful in other situations.
It enabled me to travel around the world and to meet people from all walks of life, so I think I've managed to do the best I could with my education level and in spite of my personal limitations.
I currently stock shelves and offer costumer support in a grocery store and I'm loving the hell out of it because it is so easy to do well and efficiently. There is a great vibe there as well, both with coworkers and costumers.
My random blog post that you didn't ask for has now concluded.

Could you be a mailman or something?
Like if you had a mobility scooter that could carry mailbags, would that be feasible, with your disability as well I mean.
