REQUEST I Have 23 Days To Get a New Job Before I go Homeless, Thank You Amazon!!

Upvotes

Hi guys! Let me explain the situation, for the last two years I've been abused everyday during phone calls and chats.

Because I used to work on a customer position at Amazon, to be more precise on the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) section.

In summary, anyone, and I mean ANYONE can go and try to publish a book via the website, sometimes I would meet normal/intelligent people, so if there was an issue with the cover image or manuscript then I would be able to explain it to them and we would be good to go.

But sadly, due to the raise of AI, my days have been filled with people that don't know how to read, use chatGPT and make horrible books, and when the books get rejected they lash out at me, sometimes people call just to lash out on me, and they are like "btw I know it's not your fault" only for them to keep screaming at me and calling me slurs.

And last month it was the last straw, they sent me a SECOND computer, not a replacement, a SECOND computer, so I can work on refund requests WHILE taking calls and chats.

And I just can't do it anymore, I sent my letter of resignation and I'll be out by the end of the month.

And that leads us to the title of the post. I have 23 days left to find a new job so I can help my family and I can pay the bills.

So far my strategy is this, I'm from Costa Rica, so I've been sending tons of applications to customer service positions on my country, I've already been rejected a lot but I can't just give up.

And also, I have a youtube channel, and I'm going to try to publish as many videos as I can to get as much visibility as possible and see if something comes up, I know this sounds unrealistic but I'm a little scared honestly, I'm happy that I'll finally get out of the hell zone of Amazon customer service.

But I don't know if I'll get a new job in time, I don't need a good job, I'm already used to getting abused everyday by customers, I just need to not work at Amazon.

So yeah, if by any chance you have a way to help me I would sincerely appreciate it, I'll try to keep you guys updated.

In terms of money if I were to reach $1000 then that would be enough to pay all pending bills, I know that's unrealistic so you can help me a lot just by sharing my situation, thank you.

REQUEST seeking help with my car

Upvotes

last month, I lost my job during a mental health episode. unfortunately, my efforts of finding employment haven’t been successful, and I recently was pulled over and given a $500 ticket after not having car insurance for 2 days (I could not pay for it.)

my car registration Is also overdue, and suspended, so that’s additional fees. i’m 21 years old and I live in alabama, i’m extremely stressed and my car was pretty much all I had besides my house, which I can only live in for about 2 more years before it falls apart. I need to be able to use my car to work, and I cannot get approved for any kind of loan either. this is my last resort.

I have until october 1st to raise $500 to pay off my ticket, and i’m still searching for jobs in the meantime, although ive applied to about 50 in the past month.

Hi, guys. I live in Germany, in Rhineland-Palatinate.I'm 23 and autistic and I've been living with my parents so far still, and my family and I are having our home sold by our landlady. We will move at the start of January 2027, and I'll have to fund my own apartment to live in. I do currently have two jobs but neither pay very well and I'm only allowed to work a total of 20 hours per week due to being a student in Germany. I have a hard time holding a job due to my struggle with social norms, as well as getting through uni. While rent on my future apartment is cheap-ish for the area, it's still hard for me to even imagine getting the money. I really, really need help.

If you can contribute even a small amount, I'd be so goddamn grateful.

I live in the Philippines and I have a school tuition amounting to exactly $245.70, I've already covered about two thirds of it, and I'm just a little short of $75. Portion of my paycheck is already set aside for my tuition, the rest comes to everyday transportation, food, and bills. Exams are coming up next week and I need to settle my remaining tuition balance before then. Asking for help since my pay won't be due till the 21st. $75 is all I need and I only have paypal, thank you.

Hi, I’m wanting to see how far I can go in a Maxim Magazine contest, there’s 4 hours left to reach the top 10 spots (for this round). As my title says I’m way too shy to share on my personal social medias, so I’d be very grateful to have your support :) It’s still pretty early in the competition, but my final goal is to use the reward to afford culinary school. Thank you kind internet users <3

REQUEST FULFILLED Request for food

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/21Y23QYNPN5VR?ref_=wl_share

I am a single 59F disabled woman and I’ve been struggling the last few months with bills. I’m slowly getting caught up a little bit more each month but to do so I’m having to skimp on food right now and I’m pretty low on most everything. I get $1,635 for my disability and with that I pay my rent, utilities, insurance etc and many copays right now which is what is setting me back so much. I only qualify for $24 in food stamps as they consider it that I make too much.

I can’t tell you how humbled I am having to make this post, I’m literally shaking right now. I would much rather be the one to help someone than to ask. Our Feeding America food truck did not come this month due to the holiday weekend, I count on that a lot every month too. I hope to pay back when I am able in any way I can. Thank you for reading.

Hello. I'm requesting for a little help meeting my food and rent needs. I got laid off earlier this year due to company downsizing and I'm currently in between jobs. I have been getting along by providing free lance services as I also apply to other jobs. The past 2 months have been very difficult physically and financially and I find that I'm unable to meet most of my costs especially food and rent. I need a total of USD 150 to cover these expenses and would appreciate your support. Thank you.

REQUEST Need help finding/buying a car while homeless

Upvotes

Hello all! I'm currently homeless and working full-time to get myself a car and place and put my life back together. This year has been a shit show to say the least but I'll try to make it quick and concise. About June 1st I found out me and my family were being evicted on a 30 day notice so that our landlord could sell the property. We lived in a low income area on the southern border of Wisconsin and unfortunately the whole neighborhood is seemingly being gentrified or at least repurposed for higher income families. Well this was 40 days prior to my newborn son being due. I decided the only way out of poverty for them was to work nonstop and go through all of our savings to find a new place. It took a few tries but we eventually found an apartment complex with a hiring manager willing to work with us. After viewing the apartment and a few others and chatting with tenants we decided to go with it. Unfortunately after paying over $2500 and spending money on moving costs. We had the rug pulled out again just to find out the hiring manager was simply a contractor to manage the building maintenance and nothing more. He drove off into the sunset with our money and 3 other families funds.

I have 2 older kids as well with the same mother and unfortunately through all of this things have gotten rockier than ever. After eviction she was able to find an emergency shelter for her and the kids to get into. I unfortunately ended up not finding anything but my family had offered to let me stay with them about 2 hours away and help me get to work so I can get a vehicle to be able to see my kids. Well FF and all the help with getting to work had stipulations and conditions they had not mentioned until after I had already built my life and income around their promised help. After asking for about a month for 4-5 adults each with their own vehicles and much free time, they reminded me that I am spoiled and entitled for expecting and asking for a ride to work 20 minutes away with gas and maintenance on vehicles paid for if need be.

Well I've officially had it and decided to go on my own and work my way out of this rut. I drive for Amazon and I know I can save up for what I need fairly quickly even if it means 2-3 weeks of sleeping on the street and then in whatever vehicle I buy for the time being. Unfortunately though funds have dried up with everything and now I'm sleeping on couches in the area to save up for a cheap car to sleep in at my station. I'm looking for help with either finding and buying a cheap car for the time being or help with funds to save up and buy one sooner. I think $1500 should get something fairly reliable.Whether you have something to sell cheap or can maybe work with me on payments as I can't go very far from my job and am more than glad sharing any necessary information. I don't have a GoFundMe at the moment but if needed I can make one. I apologize in advance if this seems rushed I'm typing this as I get a chance while at work. I'm working overtime this week and next to help save up faster so I should have access to at least a few hundred by this friday and more next week and so on I'm just starting from zero and every day I work I will get closer to my goal. Thank you in advance and have a lovely day guys!

REQUEST Seeking help to finish the month.

Upvotes

Hello everybody!
I’ve been looking for a job for over a year, and I’ve finally found one (yay!) however, a year of job selling, without any financial aid has been rough and I’m now on negative numbers when I open my bank account.

I will get my money at the end of september / early october only, and if I could get 60$ just to buy food and not receive too many taxes from my bank (each time my account is negative I get taxes..) that would help so so much.

I can send a paypal qr code through DM.

Thank you to anyone who helps ❤️‍🩹
