I’m a clinical psychology researcher and I remember in my first clinical interview I was investigating delusions in participants with Borderline Personality disorder. My participant spent the whole 3 hour interview talking about Joe Rogan and conspiracy theories and literally nothing else.
Hey I was the Air Traffic Controller! I still can't believe Big A called upon me to talk about my job. Looking back on this now there are so many things I wish I could/should have said but I'm still glad I got the chance to talk about my job. I love my job (most of the time) and I love trying to get others interested in it. Thanks for having me!

I was the Forklift Operator. I really enjoyed the stream and getting the chance to talk about my job. If anyone is wanting to work as a forky there are warehouses where you get to talk to people more often. The company I work at is huge so i basically only have the 1 role where im on a forklift all day. Smaller businesses will have you doing multiple roles meaning you get to interact with people more often.
I shadowed a neurologist for a week during his client meetings. Had a client with paranoid schizophrenia who would come in every week with a new 100+ page HANDWRITTEN letters to different politicians that he wanted the neurologist to mail out for him. All about conspiracies and stuff. And for the entire 50 minutes he just rapid fired every thought and idea he had at us. It was pretty surreal. Had to stop shadowing the neurologist after a week before I realized that job was too depression. Dealing with people with all sorts of debilitating disorders. Now I work for a social media company making short-form content.
This new segment should definitely be coming back on a weekly basis, it was really fun to watch. Also QuacK, you did a good job with the background footage
Little tip from a former forklift operator, my warehouse had a similar rule with phones but they did allow mp3 players and things of that sort as long as you have one ear open. I used a shitty old computer speaker with a aux cable to hear a little bit better but that should get you around the NDA in the warehouse
@@OneDerscoreOneder absolutely, was in a bit of a joe Rogan/sword and scale phase at the time so I would download a few episodes before my shift every morning. Really helped numb the routine
hey atrioc. I also worked at a canadian Mcdonalds and was trained in both front and then later back. I thought back would be better because i dont have to get yelled at my customers, but chef is right, it's definitely more work and id rather get yelled at by karens. Some people who speak english as a second language (maybe about 50-60% of our employees) seem to like kitchen more however, because a) the headset quality is so ass so you already cant tell what people are saying, and b) anecdotally, many customers dont like speaking to people with accents. On another note, you get an interesting glimpse at subtle racism working drice thru. for example, I (and another white coworker) always got put on back booth (first window where you pay) because of my donation/ round up numbers. We didnt do anything differently than other coworkers but i highly suspect people are more likely to donate when its us due to our race. I dont know if its subconcious or not but ive noticed that white workers tend to amass donations easier when literally then only thing we are doing is saying "would you like to round up to the nearest dollar for charity". so not much room for variance
I did back and front at taco bell, I usually prefer line cause I hate talking to people but I'd usually get put on front, food line is more challenging and needs more stamina but working cash is too fucking unpredictable, you'd have random shit like a guy telling me to "bless" his burrito, I'm like mother fucker what does that mean
i always suspected the race thing as well. im a white girl, and i worked only at the front in mcdonalds. i requested several times to get trained in kitchen but the managers always shrugged me off and kept me at the front. all of the ppl in the kitchen were black and mexican, the front ppl were all white or asian. i at first thought it was because the mexican ladies in the kitchen werent good at english, but after spending time in the break rooms with them, more than half were fluent.
@@KasparrTV I think he is saying that when he says "Would you like to round up to the nearest dollar for charity" and a not-white worker says the exact same thing, the customer is more likely to donate to the white person in his experience.
@@KasparrTV Love the assumption that the non-white people they worked with were just doing it wrong after they stated plainly that they don't do anything different lmao. Anything to make it so you can "ignore race" and assume the white people are just better at the job.
Having to explain what Sobeys is, is like explaining Kants views and ideologies about the ethics of individualism and self-centredness because I have no idea what it is
Chef’s got some amazing social skills despite him just being a high schooler. That kid is going places. Go get your undergrad and make bank homeboy. You got the soft skills that many people don’t have.
This definitely needs to be a recurring segment, this is literally the kind of content I come to big A for. Educational but also funny and with interesting people
This was suppozed to be uplifiting at the start but everyone was like "This job actually sucks, I'm looking to get out" I can see the boiling point off in the distance Fun stream though
Very fun concept! Would love to see Atrioc talking with more people about their interesting jobs. Could also be fun to bring his dad on stream to bounce off of, especially in cases like with that air traffic controller.
as a previous "Bird Specialist" (crew coach for a comparison) working at Raising Cane's, I felt myself in chef's section. Being mostly in the kitchen, the amount of workers that come in and take some chicken and impeded on my flow annoyed when we were in a rush annoyed the fuck out of me. It would also almost always be people from drivethru or front counter so I'm surprised to hear the the animosity between kitchen crew and front crew is a thing that's in other fast food places. I left for similar reasons too, my managers started getting stricter and shittier, I was getting paid less than people who didn't even go through the process of having the titles I had or put half the effort I did. and I hated it. I now work at Target after not having a job for a month and it's definely not enough pay to live off of but it is better pay and Target has better benefits and a WAY WAY WAY better enviorement than my last job.
Canes was actually the worst for me too idk about yours but the bird specialists at my store wore red aprons while others had to wear blue and that gave them the biggest ego in the world and they treated everyone else like garbage
@sykosis8962 Canes was my first food service job and honestly the bird specialists weren't that bad. I was one and so were most of my favorite coworkers and like there wasn't any animosity between the crew. It was really only our Regional Manager, our Store Manager and a few shift managers. But nobody else got a power trip from the raises.
From what I understood from my area it's wholly dependent on who you work with at them. I was at one for 2 years and loved all my coworkers and most managers and had a good time for a high school job. Shitty pay for getting 2 promotions tho
@jekkobc126 no yeah 100% our RM was pretty bad and our RPS person was pretty chill but I had a coworker who transferred over from an area that had a different RM and he had way worse. The RM forced everyone to stay until 3 AM everyday for closers no matter how fast they cleaned and was just overall bitchy so I definitely had easier than he did. But yeah, a 35 cent raise for taking basically 8 classes for bird specialist is stupid as fuck.
I like that segment, it was cool how you added the stock footage of the job here on RUclips. If you had that on stream as well in real time you’re the 🐐
This should be a regular segment, this was a really enjoyable watch and it's great how well you and the community can bounce off each other in these calls
Big A! Do more content like this brother! It is so cool seeing you interact with chat as actual people behind the usernames, as well as all your viewers getting educated along with you as we learn firsthand the things about jobs we don't normally see.
Damn, I'm really bummed I missed this stream. Those guys were awesome and I love hearing about random jobs from someone on the inside. You always learn something, and it's fun to hear about the little things that piss people off at a job that customers/outsiders have no clue about.
I said this on the VOD channel but I work in Casino Marketing and Analytics. It's a pretty interesting job and I have a bunch of stories of campaigns and how they work considering no jurisdiction can actually market the casino games, only Food and Hotels. Plus working in Australia is interesting, would have been stoked to be a part. Chef was sick tho
When I first started it took a while to get used to, and I still get interesting looks from family and friends. I do have some guilt. Nowadays, casinos/sports betting sites are starting to heavily enforce restrictions on players who cannot afford to lose as much as they do for their own safety, and some of my analytics works on protecting those people (in the sense that I find high risk players with signs of addiction and we dont market to them because of my findings). I'm planning to stick with it long-term because of how interesting the gambling industry is to me.
chefs fast food employee experiences are so fucking relatable like the power imbalances across ages is so bizarre i had people that would report to me although they had been there probably just as long and were twice as experienced as i was to be in a leadership position and that was such a weird experience
Would love to see this segement again. I'm an archaeologist going into historic preservation and people tend to forget it's like....a real job? Like real people are doing it for money and work. It's not just a job in the movies (and it's not just a job for people interested in Ancient Egypt or the Mayans, either!).
Genuinely would love to see this become a regular segment. Atrioc interacting with his community like this is not only entertaining but also really educational
This was a truly amazing segment. How much was cut out from the vod and would it be worth going and watching the full version after this? Would love to hear more job stories from the community. If not weekly like marketing mondays, semi-weekly or monthly would be a nice treat.
After seeing that lady that Atrioc showed crying over how hard is financially man it really rings true. I'm about to leave for my own after transferring from a junior college to a state college, and it's been terrifying to see how my mom who makes 23$ an hour struggles to make it every month. Things add up and anything big is just financially crippling. Our food costs have doubled from just 5 years ago, stuff like air condition which just went out, she told me 10 years ago would've been 5k has now gone up to 16k for a standard unit. Our plumbing under our driveway started leaking and it cost 8k to have repaired. The cost of living is has officially reached the point where we can't afford our lifestyle and more, and it's not a lavish one, we don't eat out, our tv is 15 years old, we both drive a 2003 honda civic. Genuinely if our car gives out, we just don't have a plan for that.
To the guy saying he can't listen to music cause phones are disallowed due to NDAs; ask management if you can use a cd player or an old style mp3. Worked at a place that had phones banned for similar reasons and that's how we got allowed to have a smidge of entertainment.
I would listen to this segment as a podcast every week. That freaking ruled! You’re pretty good at asking questions and making people want to talk about their lives.
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT GAME TESTING IS BAD and it is for most people who do playtesting but when you do game testing for a studio you really like its fun (most of the time) i work for fromsoft and i love all of there games so its enjoyable
this is actually an awesome segment! i love hearing you actually talk shop with some of your viewers! you're a channel about business and ads and jobs and you have thousands of people with jobs lining up to chat with you about them first hand. Id give anything to be able to rant about my job to my favorite streamer!
This is actually my favorite segment, Being a person that has no idea what I wanna do for a living or even what jobs are out there. This helps more than literally anything lol
As funny as this video is and the different pokes of fun at the jobs, I think it’s really cool to see people learning about different jobs even one as stigmatized as working at McDonald’s and just goes to show how hard people work and how much it takes to have things function in your daily life that you take for granted
Ive always wanted to be on a segment like this but with someone else who also works at a grocery store so we could just feel each others pain. You wouldnt believe the wild shit that goes down. Every two weeks someone shits in the middle of the isle, OD's in the bathroom, crack heads getting tackled, and shit the whole front end even helped a cashier escape an arranged marriage when she was 16 and he was 40 by getting her to the airport and lying to the dude. Wild shit man
I work in Field Marketing and I think it’s a really interesting route for someone who likes the people aspect of a job more then the behind the scenes aspects. Would love to talk about it!
@@muhbuh8954 Studied physics at uni, dropped out, got a random certificate in Radiation Protection, somehow nailed an interview I was underqualified for, and landed a 6-figure job at 20. Essentially, a series of dumb luck
this was a really fun video i’d love to see more of these! as someone trying to get my first job after getting my degree it’s cool to know more about how different jobs work
Chef was totally right about the rivalry between the front and the back at McDs. Front people were always asking us to get frozen fries for them and they were always sitting around chatting. At my store they also put all the high school girls up front and the guys in the back.
I drove forklift for a few summers in college. We weren’t allowed earbuds when driving forklifts for safety reasons, and I didn’t talk with my coworkers that much, but as a somewhat introverted person, I didn’t mind it. It’s a chill job, just driving around and occasionally getting out and putting stuff on the forklift. I found it somewhat enjoyable tbh. There’s definitely many worse warehouse/factory jobs. He was definitely right that you can kinda tune out, it’s like driving a car on a road trip. Sucks he only got minimum wage, where I was they pay well. I will point out getting certified isn’t that hard. My company just did a few hours of watching boring safety videos, and then the next day I did a 1 hour training and evaluation session to actually drive it. It’s like driving a very simple car, but with a lever for the fork height and angle, and it’s not hard to learn to adjust those to pick stuff up and put it down.
Would love to be part of a stream like this again. Im an underground miner in Australia. Its vastly different to what people percieve it to be and how mining is done in america. Im a child that yearned for the mines too hard.
This was a cool concept. Attic community always blows my mind in how vastly different and talented they are. Dudes got the most wholesome chat on twitch.
Great vid!! hope to see this become a series of some sort. Currently working as a PRC laser operator, and Mr. Chef managed to intrigue me about a mcdonalds position, well done
i hope we see more of this at some point. big A was into it and it was actually really interesting to hear about some fields that i would probably never hear about otherwise
I work at maccas in Australia and have some interesting things to add about the experience. 1. When you start you’re put in kitchen or front and you usually never learn the other one, there are exceptions but they are only people who have worked here for a while 2. Almost every girl who starts gets out in front while the guys get put in kitchen, again there are exceptions but it’s like a 90-10 ratio 3. This is may be rude for me to say but the girls who learn kitchen first are people who would be considered to be less conventionally attractive and the idea that management might be putting the ‘attractive’ ones to work front as like ‘eye candy’ or something gross like that is really weird considering a vast majority of these girls are like 16. 4. My store has only 1 of the ‘lifers’ as you call them and she is the best. She’s worked there for 15 years now which means she’s worked there for longer than the new hires have been alive (idk what the number is In America but in aus you can start working at 14) She’s really chill and everyone likes her 5. At our quietest (except like midnight) we have like 6 people on shift and at the busiest the amount of people on shift at once is around 25-30 6. Pay at my maccas sounds much better than this guy, I’m 18 and get paid $24 AUD an hour and then $26 on weekends, we get double pay on public holidays (I am casual so I earn more than part-timers, but everyone at my store is casual besides the managers and people who have worked there for 7+ years). I started when I was 14 and would get a pay bump every year for getting older of about $1.50-$2. Crew trainers used to get paid more here, but they stopped doing that which is a bit fucked.
12:39 As a Canadian, yes. We have it horrible. I lived in a small, 1 bedroom basement apartment with almost no windows in the Greater Toronto Area. Moved into it in Feb of 2020 for $1200/m, by the time we moved out in July of 2023, they relisted it for $1700/m. Minimum wage is unlivable, so you're forced to work 2 jobs or live at your parents place.
I'm sad I wasn't here for this. I just left a job a couple weeks ago, but I worked in the marijuana industry and handled hundreds of pounds of weed a day. It would have been a fun talking about the inner operations of the warehouses that grow, package, and synthesize marijuana products.
I agree with what Atrioc said about the US economy being more stable due to the dollar but the other countries he talked to people from have more social safety nets such as free healthcare.
I just got let go from sams club because they're over hired in a different department, so now front end (cashiers, greeters, exit crew, etc) has a max of like 3 people per shift.
This was an awesome concept, needs to become a regular segment. Chef's story really resonated with me as a Chick-Fil-A back of house supervisor, the dissonance between the front and the back is hilarious at times. Genuinely hated the structure for moving up in the company and getting paid more though, so I'm glad I quit.
I’m a process server, which I think is pretty interesting (except for the fact that I haven’t gotten to serve Shaquille O’Neal yet . . . goals for the future though). I’m also looking into eventually getting a PI license, which would make my job doubly interesting.
As a forklift operator for a different company I find it interesting that my job basically requires me to talk to my coworkers all day and strategize. Basically with my company we are picking up and shipping freight out each day so a lot of the time me and the people I'm working with are trying to stack these trailers as efficiently as possible in a warehouse. Totally understand Brad's perspective and still wouldn't recommend operating a forklift fulltime to anyone but it's so interesting how me and Brad can have extremely similar jobs with completely different environments in regards to socialization/phone use/company worklife etc.
Can speak to the QA thing, was an intern through my college program and I liked it, kind like trying to break a puzzle, but a few days I was checking boundary breaks and just run into walls the whole day.
As a degenerate that buys Madden, 2k, MLB, etc. every year, I am shocked that they even have one guy testing the games. I mean they launch with thousands of obvious bugs, so I can't imagine how much suffering it must be to test these games before launch LMFAO.

genuine question, do you ever feel guilty about advertising gambling? are you planning on sticking it out long term?
When I first started it took a while to get used to, and I still get interesting looks from family and friends. I do have some guilt. Nowadays, casinos/sports betting sites are starting to heavily enforce restrictions on players who cannot afford to lose as much as they do for their own safety, and some of my analytics works on protecting those people (in the sense that I find high risk players with signs of addiction and we dont market to them because of my findings). I'm planning to stick with it long-term because of how interesting the gambling industry is to me.
chefs fast food employee experiences are so fucking relatable like the power imbalances across ages is so bizarre i had people that would report to me although they had been there probably just as long and were twice as experienced as i was to be in a leadership position and that was such a weird experience
Props to quack for the editing on this video, actually having footage of the jobs is pretty nice
Would love to see this segement again. I'm an archaeologist going into historic preservation and people tend to forget it's like....a real job? Like real people are doing it for money and work. It's not just a job in the movies (and it's not just a job for people interested in Ancient Egypt or the Mayans, either!).
I would 100% call into this and tell Atrioc and chat all about being a machinist and how much the industry has changed since the 90's...
This was a hype as hell stream haha!
Genuinely would love to see this become a regular segment. Atrioc interacting with his community like this is not only entertaining but also really educational
I’d love to see this be a series! Just pick out different people and learn about their jobs!
This was a truly amazing segment. How much was cut out from the vod and would it be worth going and watching the full version after this?
Would love to hear more job stories from the community. If not weekly like marketing mondays, semi-weekly or monthly would be a nice treat.
Chefs personality is absolutely awesome. That dudes gonna succeed in life and man hes hilarious
I just rewatched some old big a stuff, love the content, so happy to have him back
After seeing that lady that Atrioc showed crying over how hard is financially man it really rings true. I'm about to leave for my own after transferring from a junior college to a state college, and it's been terrifying to see how my mom who makes 23$ an hour struggles to make it every month. Things add up and anything big is just financially crippling. Our food costs have doubled from just 5 years ago, stuff like air condition which just went out, she told me 10 years ago would've been 5k has now gone up to 16k for a standard unit. Our plumbing under our driveway started leaking and it cost 8k to have repaired. The cost of living is has officially reached the point where we can't afford our lifestyle and more, and it's not a lavish one, we don't eat out, our tv is 15 years old, we both drive a 2003 honda civic. Genuinely if our car gives out, we just don't have a plan for that.
To the guy saying he can't listen to music cause phones are disallowed due to NDAs; ask management if you can use a cd player or an old style mp3. Worked at a place that had phones banned for similar reasons and that's how we got allowed to have a smidge of entertainment.
I would listen to this segment as a podcast every week. That freaking ruled! You’re pretty good at asking questions and making people want to talk about their lives.
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT GAME TESTING IS BAD and it is for most people who do playtesting but when you do game testing for a studio you really like its fun (most of the time)
i work for fromsoft and i love all of there games so its enjoyable
this is actually an awesome segment! i love hearing you actually talk shop with some of your viewers! you're a channel about business and ads and jobs and you have thousands of people with jobs lining up to chat with you about them first hand. Id give anything to be able to rant about my job to my favorite streamer!
This is actually my favorite segment,
Being a person that has no idea what I wanna do for a living or even what jobs are out there. This helps more than literally anything lol
As funny as this video is and the different pokes of fun at the jobs, I think it’s really cool to see people learning about different jobs even one as stigmatized as working at McDonald’s and just goes to show how hard people work and how much it takes to have things function in your daily life that you take for granted
Ive always wanted to be on a segment like this but with someone else who also works at a grocery store so we could just feel each others pain.
You wouldnt believe the wild shit that goes down. Every two weeks someone shits in the middle of the isle, OD's in the bathroom, crack heads getting tackled, and shit the whole front end even helped a cashier escape an arranged marriage when she was 16 and he was 40 by getting her to the airport and lying to the dude. Wild shit man
Actually an amazing video idea please don’t keep us waiting too long for more
I work in Field Marketing and I think it’s a really interesting route for someone who likes the people aspect of a job more then the behind the scenes aspects. Would love to talk about it!
actually great content, would love to see more of this. Also good for incorporating his community into the content.
More interesting than I thought it would be. Nice vid
I'm a Radiation Protection technician in nuclear plants which is pretty unique if you're looking for more next time :)
how do you even become a radiation protection technician
@@muhbuh8954 Studied physics at uni, dropped out, got a random certificate in Radiation Protection, somehow nailed an interview I was underqualified for, and landed a 6-figure job at 20. Essentially, a series of dumb luck
this was a really fun video i’d love to see more of these! as someone trying to get my first job after getting my degree it’s cool to know more about how different jobs work
Honestly one of my favorite streams, I hope he does more of these
Chef was totally right about the rivalry between the front and the back at McDs. Front people were always asking us to get frozen fries for them and they were always sitting around chatting. At my store they also put all the high school girls up front and the guys in the back.
Bro McDonald’s guy was hilarious😂
I think this could be a really good series of videos to do. It’s basically a career fair for younger kids looking to enter the workforce.
I'm not exaggerating when I say I really want to see more of this
This would be an amazing weekly series or podcast. Really interesting to hear about jobs through a regular employee
I drove forklift for a few summers in college. We weren’t allowed earbuds when driving forklifts for safety reasons, and I didn’t talk with my coworkers that much, but as a somewhat introverted person, I didn’t mind it. It’s a chill job, just driving around and occasionally getting out and putting stuff on the forklift. I found it somewhat enjoyable tbh. There’s definitely many worse warehouse/factory jobs. He was definitely right that you can kinda tune out, it’s like driving a car on a road trip. Sucks he only got minimum wage, where I was they pay well.
I will point out getting certified isn’t that hard. My company just did a few hours of watching boring safety videos, and then the next day I did a 1 hour training and evaluation session to actually drive it. It’s like driving a very simple car, but with a lever for the fork height and angle, and it’s not hard to learn to adjust those to pick stuff up and put it down.
Would love to be part of a stream like this again. Im an underground miner in Australia. Its vastly different to what people percieve it to be and how mining is done in america.
Im a child that yearned for the mines too hard.
This was a cool concept. Attic community always blows my mind in how vastly different and talented they are. Dudes got the most wholesome chat on twitch.
Great vid!! hope to see this become a series of some sort. Currently working as a PRC laser operator, and Mr. Chef managed to intrigue me about a mcdonalds position, well done
Please do this more this was great having interesting conversations with the fans
i hope we see more of this at some point. big A was into it and it was actually really interesting to hear about some fields that i would probably never hear about otherwise
I work at maccas in Australia and have some interesting things to add about the experience.
1. When you start you’re put in kitchen or front and you usually never learn the other one, there are exceptions but they are only people who have worked here for a while
2. Almost every girl who starts gets out in front while the guys get put in kitchen, again there are exceptions but it’s like a 90-10 ratio
3. This is may be rude for me to say but the girls who learn kitchen first are people who would be considered to be less conventionally attractive and the idea that management might be putting the ‘attractive’ ones to work front as like ‘eye candy’ or something gross like that is really weird considering a vast majority of these girls are like 16.
4. My store has only 1 of the ‘lifers’ as you call them and she is the best. She’s worked there for 15 years now which means she’s worked there for longer than the new hires have been alive (idk what the number is In America but in aus you can start working at 14) She’s really chill and everyone likes her
5. At our quietest (except like midnight) we have like 6 people on shift and at the busiest the amount of people on shift at once is around 25-30
6. Pay at my maccas sounds much better than this guy, I’m 18 and get paid $24 AUD an hour and then $26 on weekends, we get double pay on public holidays (I am casual so I earn more than part-timers, but everyone at my store is casual besides the managers and people who have worked there for 7+ years). I started when I was 14 and would get a pay bump every year for getting older of about $1.50-$2. Crew trainers used to get paid more here, but they stopped doing that which is a bit fucked.
12:39 As a Canadian, yes. We have it horrible. I lived in a small, 1 bedroom basement apartment with almost no windows in the Greater Toronto Area. Moved into it in Feb of 2020 for $1200/m, by the time we moved out in July of 2023, they relisted it for $1700/m. Minimum wage is unlivable, so you're forced to work 2 jobs or live at your parents place.
You should honestly do this more often, very fun to listen to.
I'm sad I wasn't here for this. I just left a job a couple weeks ago, but I worked in the marijuana industry and handled hundreds of pounds of weed a day. It would have been a fun talking about the inner operations of the warehouses that grow, package, and synthesize marijuana products.
This could be in podcast form. Just like 20 minutes listening to this every week or two (ideally while on the way to work)
Thanks man, well in
22:04 yeah its very true. The only way I ever own a house is if I win a lottery
Yo Atrioc, this is insanely good content. Keep it going.
Props to Quack, b-roll was a really nice touch to this video!
Genuinely one of the best ideas, please do this more often! I was so engaged. That was quality.
Yo this gotta be a series, I love it
As someone who's really introverted, the forklifter's job sounds like a dream come true! I'm genuinely considering that as a career path now.
The WatchMojo Footage about videogame bugs was insane content, thanks editor
I agree with what Atrioc said about the US economy being more stable due to the dollar but the other countries he talked to people from have more social safety nets such as free healthcare.
This absolutely needs to be a reoccurring segment, so entertaining
This is such a fun video. I would love to hear about jobs that I considered or jobs that I worked. Keep doing this, Atrioc!
I just got let go from sams club because they're over hired in a different department, so now front end (cashiers, greeters, exit crew, etc) has a max of like 3 people per shift.
This was an awesome concept, needs to become a regular segment. Chef's story really resonated with me as a Chick-Fil-A back of house supervisor, the dissonance between the front and the back is hilarious at times. Genuinely hated the structure for moving up in the company and getting paid more though, so I'm glad I quit.
We need more of this! Great podcast style listening content!
very cool vid hearing from such a wide range of people, would love to see this be a weekly type of vid
Great concept, and the images of jobs the during the "interview" are a really nice add to the vids.
This was such an interesting idea for a stream/video! Please do more
Would love to see this become a series
I’m a process server, which I think is pretty interesting (except for the fact that I haven’t gotten to serve Shaquille O’Neal yet . . . goals for the future though). I’m also looking into eventually getting a PI license, which would make my job doubly interesting.
As a forklift operator for a different company I find it interesting that my job basically requires me to talk to my coworkers all day and strategize. Basically with my company we are picking up and shipping freight out each day so a lot of the time me and the people I'm working with are trying to stack these trailers as efficiently as possible in a warehouse. Totally understand Brad's perspective and still wouldn't recommend operating a forklift fulltime to anyone but it's so interesting how me and Brad can have extremely similar jobs with completely different environments in regards to socialization/phone use/company worklife etc.
Being a forklift driver full time in Australia is literally the dream of so, so mang young guys😂. It's great, consistent work.
Please make this a reoccurring thing fr, i love this so much. this is so interesting
Can speak to the QA thing, was an intern through my college program and I liked it, kind like trying to break a puzzle, but a few days I was checking boundary breaks and just run into walls the whole day.
this video was very interesting, the 26 minutes just flew by great video!
We definitely need another one of these. It was fun but interesting at the same time. Which can be said for most of Big A's content
„Im about to quit“ that was the funniest possible sentence
I loved this segment. Please do more of them in the future!!
This video was incredible. Please do more of them Big A :)
Such a good idea! Keep these segments coming
Ngl this was a really well edited video.
I liked the included clips of all the jobs.
Props to whoever the editor was
quack
Very interesting to hear about everyone's careers. Would love if you did this more often!
I work at a restaurant in the UK and the animosity between front and back of house is real, though I'm front of house 😂
As a degenerate that buys Madden, 2k, MLB, etc. every year, I am shocked that they even have one guy testing the games. I mean they launch with thousands of obvious bugs, so I can't imagine how much suffering it must be to test these games before launch LMFAO.
This HAS to be a series. Very fun video
I'd love to see this turned into a series! Everyone loves a little user generated content ;>
low key, i would watch more videos like this from you big A
