You don't have to be mad to work here, but if you are you're fired...

I just heard something very interesting... According to the mental health act, if you've been sanctioned even once you cannot work in the public sector.


I'm sorry, but one little breakdown and suddenly you're public enemy numbers one to thirty? Even though you have been released and are therefore no longer deemed a threat to yourself or others? Bullshit!


This country has gone to shit; hi Mr. convicted paedophile, you were just released from prison because it's overcrowded and your crime was deemed a minor offence? Certainly we have a job for you, how about ice cream man? School bus driver? Lollipop man? Oh, I see you once stopped your car at a green light, got out and screamed... sorry, we'll hide you in the back of a dark factory or office where you can enjoy the most tedious work ever and we'll let your friends and neighbours know you were once a loony, so you'll be persecuted, become depressed and have another breakdown, but don't worry, you're on the sex offenders register, although your crimes are hidden and you're given a new identity to protect you.


I swear this is really pissing me off, I have depression, which has been classed as a mental illness and if it were to just get to me suddenly and I flipped, I would never be allowed either of my dream jobs as bartending and counselling are both majorly public sector. But if I were to murder somebody in full consciousness, I'd be out in 15 years max and given a job or at least able to get one as soon as thanks to the parole, which is more than I get right now while looking for a job...


There's another thing actually, everywhere I apply for says they need experience, but how do they think we get experience? And all these temporary Christmas jobs are given to 14 year olds because they're cheaper to hire, who have no experience, no enthusiasm and no idea what to do but are cheap and so can be hired over me any day.


Oh well, enough of this ranting, I'm starting to ... something, idk. Byee.
