  • Fuck Ameren. I moved out on my own and paid my bill every month. Then January comes and the bill is like $400 in 2007 money. They set me up with estimated billing without asking me and intentionally under billed me. Then they did an actual meeter reading after the new rate increase took effect in the new year so they could charge more. The state stepped in and forced them to refund everyone affected by the scheme. I think I got roughly $150 back because of the difference in rates.

    Edit: I just remebered that when I moved into my first place the power was already turned on. When I called to have it transferred to my name they said that it shouldn’t be on and that I should turn it off. Then they charged me with a “meter tampering” fee of around $100.

    Those are all considered skilled labor because you couldn’t just grab a rando off the street to do it right now. The real issue is that you couldn’t just grab a random person to start moving heavy boxes around either because it requires physical abilities. Even “unskilled” jobs require skills which many don’t have. If you can’t stand for the majority of 12 hours then you’re unskilled in my mind, shouldn’t have skipped leg day. Workers, staff, general labor would be ok terms, but not great.




  • I can already tell you that this guy does about 0% work, bitches all day and takes a bajillion smoke/shit breaks, and tries to fuck over everone else constantly. They have also “fallen” at work to get workers comp. They have a truck or car that is a piece of shit but they constantly waste money on for “mods” they also have multiple dogs that they mistreat. Somehow they are married but bitch about their wife all the time.
