Encouraging my mum to join the #MOstrike. She has fibromyalgia & severe depression exacerbated by chronic illness. She constantly explains to her jobactive provider she can& #39;t do physical work/long hours & they keep setting her up to fail with interviews for jobs she can& #39;t do
Then when she has to do these interviews for jobs she is physically no longer able to do she feels so awful and shitty about herself. I barely recognise my mum whenever she has to do mutual obligations - she sounds so small and defeated @AusUnemployment #MOstrike
She visited me recently for the first time since my bub was 2 weeks (thanks covid) and during the visit she was told she had to do a course for several hours each day over a week on how to write a resume and cover letter. She is 57 and had been working for several decades
