I donated my work clothes to one of those places that say they get women kitted out for work, do they not actually do that? Maybe they sell the clothes and skim the money off the top đ¤¨

They said I can buy clothes from Kmart or Target and theyâll reimburse up to $150. So I bought almost $98 worth. Itâs been a month since I sent them a receipt, hence my email today (not allowed phones on us at work, only breaks, not enough time to get through to them). Implied it would be paid through Services Australia, then asked for my bank details đ I fare evaded to get in today, because I have 0.04c in my account, and thatâs what prompted me to send a stern email. They remotely topped up my Myki with $50 and said reimbursement would process today.
Iâll be writing to my MP tbh

Damn youâre doing it tough, is it possible for you to do a Go Fund Me? (Or is that too much of a privacy risk)
PayPal would dox us both but a prepaid gift card would likely allow me to donate as Melbaboutown

Partner was paid today, we are okay. I am just extremely angry at the system jobseekers are forced into, were government help to gain and keep jobs is null in the face of it outsourcing to private job providers whose goal is to drain money from the government.
Iâll also be paid Thursday, the puss has plenty of preemo food and treats. Rent and bills are paid.
Iâm just very, very angry

Iâm sorry you had to go through all this bullshit girlie :( I can see why everytime I look at jobs boards, those job providers are always on there.
