Starting mid June, SUPER stoked to finally have a job that does good work. Been over 18 months since i lost my last job in the tech field, so this feels SO fucking good!
Nothing quite as exhilarating as getting paid to do meaningful, beneficial work
Good luck
Hell yeah, thats gonna be a new feeling for me but im looking forwards to it!
What a lovely surprise, you get to do a job that can make the world better, and they get a dedicated communist shitposter as a worker

Congratulations! That's awesome.
Nice. So what's the scheme? A real estate investment grift where you help get funding to build housing for the homeless that has no obligation to keep its promises after a criminally short period of time? Or just the old-fashioned skim off the top?
... I kid I kid, I hope you do some good work out there and really help some people who desperately need it.
They're giving me a katana to go hunt landlords and I get one dollar per scalp
Well it looks like you're going to be the wealthiest communist in history
thank you for your service
I serve the Hexbear Posters Union o7
You may wanna buy a smaller knife for the scalping. Seems hard wirh a katana. I'm sure I'll pay for itself pretty quick wirh how many extra scales you bring in
congo free state but for landlords

Woop Woop! 
nice! doing good, as day to day work, hits different. hope you meet some cool people at work!
I've been in tech jobs since I was 18. This is the start of something new for me, I can deal with the low pay, im just excited to say "I can wake up and give a shit." Stoked to actually WANT to work.
grats dawg I hope you get to do some good work
I'll be interfacing with other homelessness orgs in the city to coordinate care plans and stuff, so its the best use of my tech/project mgmt experience i can think of!
Is it for the Americorp thing or did you get another offer separately?
Excited for you!
Thanks comrade! Hope you're hanging in there as well!
Are you gonna be pushing em down the chute or manning the captive bolt gun?
Corgi walks into the office, steeling themselves for the exciting prospects of doing meaningful social work (and getting paid!). They walk into the office and are surprised by the door being quickly shut behind them, the windows dimmed, lights low. "So Corgi are you ready to help End Homelessness?"
"Of course!" they say, "I'm ready to get to work."
"Good." As the city manager shifts in her chair the light reveals the faint outline of a poster of Mao Zedong.
"Here's the list of the most powerful landlords in the city. We've already taken legal steps to ensure the tenants will inherit the properties."
The manager unrolls a bunch of tools. Not notepads or tablets. Silencers, garottes, mysterious vials, advanced gas pistols, suicide drones, jammers, you name it.
"Enjoy your first day on the job."
(seriously congrats tho.)
Look im not saying that i would PREFER doing that, but also i would prefer it if the work was like that
Yes I too would enjoy playing a modded mission in Hitman 3.
Dope. Baller, even.
Yessssssssssssss
FUCK yeah
Congrats comrade!
sssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
congrats! i've been unemployed a similar amount of time and want to move from tech to something that isn't so volatile and pointless, it's really cool you did
Thanks! I dont really have any advice other than chsck out some cool nonprofits around you, I just happened to stumble across this a few days ago and it moved FAST. The website Idealist might be good too if you dont know that one yet?
Good luck! Unemployment has been a fuck and I really hope you get something ASAP!
Congratulations, you just landed on a fuckin career path, provided funding doesn't get cut. Public sector jobs are the last best jobs around
Thanks! They even use my chosen name, so im fucking psyched!
Legit as hell mate, well done!
Swag!!!

I'm too America brained because so I assumed this meant you'd be evicting parks. Congrats
If I could I would kill the cops that do that
Good work comrade. I'm glad to know there are people with good values working at these sort of campaigns. As frustrated as I am with my own cities paltry efforts at combatting this issue this gives me hope that some boots on the ground and people in the organizations have their head on straight
It's my first venture outside the tech field, but they know how much I value ACTUALLY helping, so let's fuckin go!
