While the wage is very low ($19000) the overall issue is the cost of rent. I could understand if the letter was directed to her landlord. Cost of utilities, travel and food would all be liveable for a year if the rent was halved by a room mate or rent control. It doesn&amp;#x27;t make sense to get mad at the company providing you with most of what you need to survive.&lt;p&gt;Also surely you know before deciding on the Bay Area that you&amp;#x27;re going to have either a min acceptable salary or a max acceptable rent. Saying yes to two things that don&amp;#x27;t add up is a recipe for a cycle of self inflicted misery.</text></comment>

How could this person think that this would benefit them in any way? She got fired, and secured herself a spot in endless unemployment. In San Francisco, no less, where her mounting debt prevents her from buying groceries and paying her phone bill.&lt;p&gt;Seriously, I would never ever hire someone who wrote something like this. This is a one way ticket to being eternally jobless. Her best next course of action is to delete the hell out of that post.&lt;p&gt;And then she has the gall to ask for donations to her paypal and venmo? Lord. Give me a break.</text></comment>
