They're brothers, so that kind of insulting back and forth comes with the territory. That said, so does getting made fun of for being a NEET loser and then flipping out on your brother. Your siblings can call you out in ways that other people can't. Doesn't mean they're against you or hate you, there's a relationship that is deeper.
Highly doubt that.. Anon clearly show disrespect towards people.. I for one would not want to place my merit on someone I know for a fact is lazy which lets face it man neets is just a world they made up to replace lazy, if you want a better life you need to start with yourself first.
I understand the no work experience thing but employment gap is just corpo bullshit. Many things couldve happened to someone to justify their employment gap.
Many things could have happened, but if a person is in the habit of needing big breaks, that could become a liability if it happened again. If you have a reason for it being a one-off that's fine. But 4 years is a tough sell.
Most employers will move past it with a good excuse. And if you don't have one (like anon), just say you needed to step away to take care of a sick relative or something like that.
People with unemployment gaps are not a disadvantaged group. Some of them may have had some unfortunate circumstances leading to a gap in their employment, but not all of them, and comparing them to someone with a medical disability is insane.
A guy is applying for a job, seems qualified the interviewer is basically convinced to hire him but notices he has a 4 year gap in his employment. Just as an aside he asks the interviewee what was going on during those 4 years. The interviewee reply’s “I was in Yale”. Well this sells it the interviewer tells him “that’s most impressive, I am pretty sure you’re the candidate we’ve been looking for, congratulations!” To which the interviewee reply’s “thanks! I really need this yob”.
That's the reason why employers don't like gaps in experience. You could have a good reason, you could be lying, and they can't tell.
Not that it's going to be impossible to get a job with a gap like that, but it'll be harder because employers would rather hire someone with continuous work experience
If you think it’s normal for a brother to talk to their struggling sibling like this then you’re a lost cause and I wish you good luck. You’re gonna need it.
This is a completely normal response from a normal sibling, talking to their lover sibling who likely has been coddled compared to the normal sibling their entire upbringing.
The brother asking for a job has been a lazy neet fuck for the last 3-4 years after getting fired from their mental job. I would also have serious reservations about putting my work reputation on the line for someone like that. Especially when their response to a no isn't to lay out why the should get a recommendation. Like a normal person here would explain how they're going to try really hard, will make a good impression, wants to change their situation etc and would ask again nicely. Instead he says imma tell mommy. That childlike bitch response absolutely deserves getting torn into.
Lmao, this is a broken and overly negative mentality to have. They both make mistakes I agree but the employed brother is in a position to super easily help and makes zero attempt to provide any support.
There is essentially zero risk to providing a referral for your sibling. Nobody is going to hold you accountable for other peoples work and everybody knows we refer friends, family and random business connections all the time. The only situation in which this could even be slightly a concern is if it’s a very small team and the siblings would be working directly with each other. Vast majority of jobs, you can refer them to a different team or office. By the time they do decide it isn’t a good fit and let them go, they probably won’t even remember or care that you referred them.
The unemployed brother doesn’t respond with appropriate professional behavior because he obviously has no idea what that looks like. The man is clearly unwell and probably has a mental disability. Instead of making any attempt to show his sibling the right way to respond to the situation he takes the opportunity to belittle him and act like a self righteous asshole because he has a job, lmao.
It’s absolutely a bitch move to take advantage of someone like this who clearly needs and is actively seeking support. I don’t think anybody who could respond in this manner to a sibling is capable of providing that support. The unemployed brother is likely fucked up because his family is fucked up.
But hey Redditors and hating your family goes hand in hand right?
Doubtful, I've met enough young men like this younger brother to know he likely is just an ass not disabled. There is a long list of bad decisions, and shit behavior that leads one to respond to no with "I'm going to tell mom".
I'll grant you this, the little brother being a loser little shit is definitely the parents fault on some level. You dont become an inept Neet without enablers in most cases. But at 28 you've been an adult for a decade and reality is whether you are at fault or not for your shortcomings they are your responsibility to fix.
Very thankful i dont have people like him in my family or life in general. Im not sure why you have such a passion for defending this loser little brother in the greentext. Maybe it's a cope or you relate to them in some way? But it is unlikely you find many functioning adults that fully agree with your stance. Have a good day 👍
Lmfao, a true loser projects stories onto people and their situations that they have no information about in an attempt to validate their shitty preconceived notions. The little insult before the "have a good day" is a hilarious example of how fragile your opinions are. You can't even have a conversation without feeling challenged/threatened in some way.
Don’t worry I’m not coming on greentext to talk to functional adults.
You can make a bunch of assumptions about this person or you can look at the evidence right in front of your eyes that they are actively seeking help and being attacked for it.
Personally I just felt like pointing out that the people cheering for the employed brother are so obviously in the wrong. Felt like poking the hornets nest. It’s funny because most of the people active in this sub likely have bad family relationships so it all tracks.
It’s funny because I’ve unfortunately had to deal with many people like this in my life. Always hard but a few success stories in there.
Being cruel doesn’t help anything, it often just makes things worse. And most of the time the cruel people are just as insufferable and helpless as the other.
Although obviously Reddit is a bad place to discuss how you should treat people in real life and a green text subreddit even less so.
I would like you to pinpoint specifically where/what the employed brother said or done to makes him a POS?
Having firm boundaries?? Not flinching at his unemployed brothers empty threats?? At some point, a leech will exhaust all sympathy. You’re projecting so hard, it’s such a bad look.
It’s takes about 30 minutes to give resume advice and submit a referral.
I don’t know if you work in the professional world or not but this is incredibly standard practice. Surprise pretty much every professional is getting their first couple jobs through referrals.
Instead of offering any kind of practical and very easy to provide support the brother takes the opportunity to belittle his brother and act like an entitled jerk. The other brother is in the wrong as well for giving threats.
But coming from a position with the means to help him all he had to do was pass along his resume. Both of these guys mishandled the situation so hilariously bad.
You have a job? Then you would realize how dumb and potentially detrimental it would be to "pass on the resume" and help a person you can't trust, who threatens you and is clearly incapable of holding a job, a recommendation to where YOU work...
Nah not at all, this is only a concern if you’re referring them to work on the same team or some small organization like that.
I’ve referred dozens of friends I wouldn’t want to work with professionally, you don’t have to refer them to your direct team and they can and should apply for a different role.
Absolutely nobody is going to hold it against you if somebody you refer isn’t up to snuff, unless maybe they commit corporate espionage or something really bad.
Nobody really holds the person submitting the referral responsible for another’s poor work. By the time they realize it isn’t a fit and they need to let somebody go, they most likely won’t even remember that you referred them. Everybody knows we’re referring people to help our friends and keep business connections.
Why would you say no? Just give him an hour of resume advice and submit a referral.
If you really want to do something good you could try and work with them to help socialize them.
Many of these guys become neets because of negligent families that don’t help them or teach them at all.
There is of course a point where giving up on somebody is justified, but most people in this thread jump straight to vitriolic punishment instead of even considering how they could help the situation at all.
At 28 you should have your resume figured out, and there's nothing his brother can't say to him that isnt online and can be custom tailored to his (very narrow) set of skills. If he has access to 4chan, he has access to the means of getting himself resume advice, aand a job be it doordashing or a temp agency warehouse contract.
We're in the information age and frankly Anon is not making the fullest use of that.
I agree that at 28 you should have that stuff figured out. You would think that the employed brother would want his sibling to succeed and would want to help him get there.
It’s a cop out to say he can go do it all himself, sure he can but the smartest of us use the resources available to us. Focused career advice is going to be found much faster and in much better quality directly from friends and family rather than blindly searching online.
It’s also just unrealistic to the real world. How many people do you know who are finding decent jobs without any help from friends or family?
Beyond that, I have received focused resume advice from my family that I would absolutely never would have been able to find online. The employed brother could help him tailor his resume to the positions or even just suggest positions that would help him build the experience he needs to get the job the employed brother has.
You’re not required to provide support to your family members when they ask. But any decent person is going to find someway to help and not be an unrepentant asshole.
Addendum: I believe its fine to live with your parents or anyone for that matter if you contribute a very fair chunk of change to the household and do what is demanded of you, after all you are living on their property, using their resources if you arent providing those for yourself.
You dont know what you are doing and having a 3-4 year gap proves it..you need to start smaller work up too at least 3 years at a small time gig then you start asking your bro again once you get your shiZ together.

I really need this yob”.
Kronosprt@reddit
Can you explain the joke?
CrazyTownUSA000@reddit
The guy asking for the yob is usually a Spanish speaking person who was in jail for 4 years.
Mami-_-Traillette@reddit
Je pronounces "j" as "y", so he was in jail
Sgigi@reddit
The interviewee was in jail, he can't pronounce 'j' so he says 'yail' and 'yob'
Admirable-Ad-5026@reddit
He exchanges y for j, and has a accent when speaking jale , so he said jail wrong
Tboom330@reddit
He mispronounced 'job' as 'yob'
So 'yale' was 'jale or Jail'
The interviewer thinks he was attending a prestigious school, but instead he was in prison.
TheChristianGamerGuy@reddit
True but getting fired and then just never trying for 3-4 years, only to try now for "spending money", is not a justifiable reason.
