Fun animal fact: The U.S. military trained bottlenose dolphins. Bottlenose dolphins were used in both the Vietnam and the Gulf to detect enemy swimmers trying to plant explosives on ships
I remember some guy that tried to say Elon was justified for firing the “lazy employees” because 40 hours is lazy😅. There’s more to life than work, man.
My favorite ones were streamers who said "employees complaining about being stopped from doing work at home need to stop being lazy". Cause those same streamers are literally doing the same "lazy" work. You sit there comfortably at home and work.
34:30 I actually asked "Why should I work for you?" in a job interview once, too, though I think I phrased it more like "What does this workplace have to offer to its employees?" I was applying to be a proofreader and editor for a local publishing company. The guy interviewing me visibly straightened up, then said, "Wow, it's like YOU'RE interviewing US!" and laughed nervously. Mind you, this was only the first question I'd asked during the interview. It wasn't as if I'd been bombarding him with questions for the last five minutes. He then paused for an uncomfortably long time. He said "Let me think..." He paused again. By the time he finally provided some empty answer, I already knew I'd be running for the hills as soon as this interview was over. The takeaway? ASK THIS QUESTION!! A bad employer will freak out at the idea of a potential employee having a sense of self-worth, and you'll be able to save yourself SO much time and grief.
"Wow, it's like YOU'RE interviewing US!" A lot of interviewers are terribly insecure and anyone moving off the standard track can completely throw them. Years ago I moved into teaching having been an engineer and manager for over 20 years. I got lots of interviews but no offers. It is standard practice here (at least in the teaching world) for interviewers to give feedback to unsuccessful candidates. Often it was as unhelpful as "You just weren't the strongest candidate on the day", sometimes it was straightforwardly discriminatory (in a way that is now unlawful, "We feel you are just too old (45!) to be coming into teaching", "A man of your age (still 45!) and background just wouldn't be able to relate to our kids". The best feedback, however, was: "You were too relaxed and confident in the interview. It seemed as if you were treating it like a conversation!!!" Perhaps the fact that I had interviewed dozens of people for professional roles paying a good deal more than teaching, had attended training as an interviewer where it was stressed that a good interview should be a dialogue to ensure a good fit between candidate and employer and had been an industrial trainer were factors. Maybe it was that I had attended so many unsuccessful interviews that I not only did I have the script off pat but had such a low expectation of success that I was entirely relaxed. Still, it was a little frustrating...
Yikes. You dodged a bullet there. I once had a job interview where the employer left no space for me to ask questions. Just wanted to extract information from me and move on 😕 Thankfully, I didn't get the job. They wanted to pay below the minimum wage for a contractor position with no benefits. Legal, but 100% scummy behaviour.
I asked ,"what is the main reason people leave this company?" They said attendance.... thats not a reason why they leave. Thats the reason why they are fired.
My little sister got her first job at McDonald’s this year, she’s sixteen,and the first thing she said to me after she started was “Why are people so mean and rude?”…she got yelled at by a grown man over a 50 cent charge for extra sauce….every human should be forced to work in the food/retail industry at least once….I did it and now I have infinite patience for those who still do it
I’m a really patient and understanding individual. When I have bad customer service, I always look at the person who is attending me. If its a person my same age (I,m 28) acting like a teenager, I totally go out on them. If its a teenager, I always try to tell them to not worry, I can wait and I understand. I can tell that some pressure lifts off. I wish I had someone do the same to me.
"Everyone needs to work retail to see how bad it is." No everyone just needs to learn to be respectful and I wouldn't recommend anyone working retail just to get a taste. I worked in a call centre dealing with a £3.50 bridge fare that easily spiraled to tons of debt and we got our shouting but I wouldn't want to climatise you or anyone to the broken and timid "Oh" of a old woman offering to pay off her daughter's debt and being told it's 5k after asking how much.
All politicians should be *FORCED* to maintain a minimum wage, floor level job at a randomly assigned shitty employer as a requirement to stay in their position, with no access to additional savings or income. Just imagin how fast they'd be leading the holy crusade to make those places actually viable to work at
Of all the jobs I had, anything that involves customer service are the worst. I worked IT, and had to deal with a lot of stupid people who often set up unrealistic expectations and wanted me to "turn water into wine". I can't imagine how it would be like to work in the fast food industry where your bosses are sadistic and customers are downright hostile. If anything, the workers are the ones keeping the industry afloat, and I'm appalled that they aren't paid a living wage. Do you know what happens when you don't pay an employee a living wage? The tax payer foots the bill. That means their employers are passing the responsibility of a living wage to the rest of the tax payers. How is this even legal? Companies that pay employees meager wages to a point where they have to be on welfare should be fined HEAVILY.
ive never even had a job but ive always been patient with workers (except when a builder is supposed to come in 3 days amd takes 3 months, like a week or 2 is ok cos maybe they were too busy but 3 months is just bs)
Having been a manager at McDonalds, the amount of times I told off a customer for screaming and cussing at a 15-16 y/o kid is incredible. I did it in a super shaming way. There are reasons that I left to make less money elsewhere, sometimes see my teenagers though and they really miss me
You are honestly a hero to me. A lot of managers will just look the other way and if the teen tried to say something the manager would yell at them. That's what I see at least
I once had a boss who tried to tell us that our workplace was our home and that anytime we weren't at work we were on vacation. I just stared at him blankly not responding. When you can't think of anything not rude to say, let the awkward silence say it for you.
My cramps were so bad that I'd vomit from the pain, I hemorrhaged and hallucinated from blood loss, on two separate occasions. One teacher forced me to jog around the gym, because her period wasn't painful, so I guess nobody had issues. I collapsed, and my mum was, well angry doesn't describe it. From that day forward, that teacher listened better to her students, especially if a student such as myself, wasn't known to be a slacker. Nowadays, she'd be in such deep shit for doing that, this however, happened over 40 years ago. I got a hysterectomy at 35, because neither my husband or myself wanted children, and holy Hannah, the relief! One of the best decisions of my 61 years of life.
You people should go see a doctor, maximum allowable cramp pain is 7 and flood level sustainable. If you have to put towels out on the bed you're oozing too hard
@@cftyftyufyfuyfty least in the US doesn't matter, doctors approach it with a try to reduce the symptoms a bit and if that works refuse to do anything permanent, particularly if someone is unmarried and even if they're adamant about never having children (or are physically or mentally incapable to have children). Maybe outside the US, but it's definitely not the norm in the US
I’m in the US. It tends to require a good obgyn, but it’s possible to get proper care for dysmenorrhea. (Primary care, unless they have a women’s health focus, are typically horrific.) It took trying about a half dozen different birth control treatments, and being referred to different physicians, but I’ve gone from pain over 7/10 to 1-2/10, skipping some months entirely. Turns out, I react badly to estrogen- got morning sickness every day with anything containing estrogen, plus the pain only went down to a 5/10. A multiple-year arm implant stopped working over a year early. Now using a 3-month shot.
@@boondocksdragon8959Yeah, but oftentimes people also have a tendency to assume everyone feels like they do. For example, homophobes who reason: 'If we let people have their way, everyone would only bone their own sex, and we can't have that, otherwise humans would die out.' No Steve, that is not a universal experience.
I have deadass said in an exit interview, "y'all don't pay me enough to clean up after everyone's shit, and y'all have a proven track record of lying about wanting to 'make things better'... so there's literally nothing you can do to make me change my mind"
I’m Native Hawaiian and in the past my ancestors had a great system. For 8 months they would work the land, stocking up on food while waging war on other chiefs. But for the remaining 4 months they partied and feasted and we’re forbidden from working or going to war with each other. This system ended thanks to colonization and capitalism but I wish we could bring it back.
Even as teenagers, if my stepsons went on a job site with me, I paid them, even if I wasn't billing for them being there. Exploiting family is one of the shittiest things small business people do.
Bro, my uncle cuts down trees and when I was living with him he made me go to work with him, I got payed nothing and we were out there for hours, this lady also gave him 700 to give me, and I got nothing, it’s shitty dude
My mom owned a bakery and I worked there every day after school sometimes worked 18 hours at a time… I either got payed in cupcakes (that were going bad anyway) or a 20 at the end of the week
The funniest thing about "you don't pay your family" is that if I needed money for something when I was younger, my grandparents would find me some work to do in the garden or something and pay me to do it.
I have several family members, especially older members, that will fight for the right to pay the younger members when they need help. (They have to fight because we just help, just because.)
I worked Sundays in our familys restaurant when I was 12 to 15. I paid for my riding lessons, equipment and camps myself. But I was also a free nanny for my much younger cousins, because my aunt thought thats what family is for.. family can be difficult.
When I was little, before my dad would allow allowance, once my mom paid me like a quarter for every ladybug I could catch to put in the garden to eat aphids. Sometimes it was garden chores, yard chores, little things around the house beyond my basic chores.
The story about a person who got fired for not chatting with their colleagues in their breaks was really frightening to me. I'm very introverted and despite liking my colleagues I don't talk to them much and nearly never start conversations. Though my boss said once that I seem to hate people, there was never an issue about it. Thank god I don't work in service industry.
Now imagine being autistic. 9/10 workplaces fires you for similar reasons. "Talked wrong" but you allists puts 1001 implicit rules you dont say then judges us for that. Read the room lmao.
Yeah it is. On my last job interview I chose not to lie about being social. Instead I said I usually need a little time to get to know people and prefer not to start converstations. I didn’t get the job. Funny enough, I got my previous position just because I was calm and introverted (the person who hired me said so). So, even though these were virtually the same kind of jobs, now these qualities were rejected. I’m conflicted how I should act. To lie or not to lie, that is the question.
@@stompingliger personally I think you shouldn't lie. If you get the job after lying about you being social, you still have to work with people, who think it's essential to be extroverted. Seems like a torture to me. Better say the truth (but only if asked) and find an employer who matches your life values.
Well, there's such thing as volunteering. That's legal and unpaid. It's normally done for non-profits, but I don't see why doing it for a corporation suddenly makes it illegal.
@@me-myself-i787 You're not volunteering if you're told to do a working interview as part of your application process. You have to do it if you want the job. I'm not sure how labor laws treat legit volunteering for a corporation, that's not an area of employment law I'm familiar with.
I have worked as both HR and as a Director of Operations. I can tell you that it is 100% illegal to do a "trial period" for applicants. Labor laws are strict. Even if a company tries to claim them as an intern, or volunteer, there are strict rules companies have to follow
My mom was applying to work for a local vet (who actually mistreats the animals, and prior to this she didn't know how bad it is). They actively tricked her into thinking that she had gotten the job and was going to be working doing her first day of work. The next day, they told her that wasn't her working but part of the interview. They lied to her about her having gotten the job and was just using her for a day's worth of free labor.
@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor This is 100% illegal and has a case against them. She needs to pursue this in court. She's entitled to that pay. No such thing as a work interview, in any state
I agree. They knew that many of the citizens (who really had no power in that situation) still had to get to work and school. Those busd drivers are decent human beings, which is unfortunately rare nowadays
That's a pretty cool thing to do, in my city subway workers (the public transport system, not the food chain) and train workers do that every now and then.
When I had covid in college I was thrilled to be shoved in a hotel for isolation. The hotel rooms with a private shower were better living conditions than a dorm and I was so burnt our from classes and working full time that I was actually so excited to sleep for a week...
My old job was helping other ASD folks like me navigate finding and retaining a job, but we had to close down because the agency funding us wasn't willing to pay us the extra hours needed for the results they wanted. Seven years later, I feel dirty and disgusting because half the stuff we taught people were to accept and rationalize some of these dehumanizing practices and conditions, and I would never do it again
maybe that's why i feel like i could never go back to where i used to work before the pandemic screwed things up; i was in a similar position, with the job title 'Ambassador," but i feel like i was out of my league when helping clients find jobs.
I can't get over the fact that there are laws that make it legal to underpay people simply because they're disabled, especially when people have intellectual disabilities and they dress it up like "it's good for their independence!" and the employers are doing them a favor since they don't work 'as efficiently' or whatever. Paying them reasonably would be good for their independence, it's is just taking advantage of the disadvantage and calling it altruistic. It's so gross.
I just finished an exam which asked “is money a motivator?” I answered yes, and chose to contest the answer. I wrote that if moneys not a motivator, then why is their textbook $180? Isn’t the pride of knowing they’re helping students learn be enough?
Those studies were performed in the economic environment of the past, when incomes were higher and most people had enough to live and were looking for more fulfillment. Today, people are struggling just to survive, so money is the most important factor.
@@Camphorous There are even newer studies which prove that those who are happy are those who have enough money to cover bills without worry and have a good amount of extra after, but not so much they don't know what to do with it. At that point, general happiness went down, but studies proved that people were happiest at around an 80-120k/yr salary!
@@Battlesnyyou clearly do not know how statistics work lol. Key word in what they said: generally Statistics aren’t a definite thing, they vary a lot. Like a coin flip isn’t an exactly fifty fifty, there’s other variables like which side of the coin is up when you flip it and how the heads side is slightly heavier. Of course the richest of us are happy, but people in the millions might not be.
I needed this subreddit today. I've just dropped out of college because of severe burnout. I'm autistic, but it went undiagnosed until this summer, I was 18, and only was assessed because I asked about it and suspected it myself. It was obvious I had some difficulties throughout my life, but my undiagnosed dad just told me that stuff was normal and happened to almost everyone in our family. I was also labelled as gifted growing up, so I was given more work and almost perfect grades were expected of me, without any help or adaptations. I managed to keep this up throughout all of highschool and get into a highly demanded degree at a prestigious university here in my country. But it almost fucking killed me. On top of everything, I also had trouble socializing and fitting in, an art I almost perfected at the cost of my mental health, was constantly called lazy because I couldn't study as many hours without breaks/couldn't study at all some days and had trouble keeping my room clean and more stuff like that that ends up making you feel like shit about yourself. And I just can't keep doing this. The past few months have been so bad I had various panic attacks some days, and was more sensitive than ever to sounds, smells and all that stuff. Hell, I ended up crying one night because the washing machine and something else in the kitchen were on at the same time and it was just too much. I've never been that sensitive and I know it's because I'm too fucking stressed. Last week I ended up in the ER because of suicidal and self harming thoughts. My roommates here are super sweet and have taken care of me for a few days now, but I'll be going back to my hometown soon. I just can't do this anymore. I plan on coming back to college next year, although I probably will choose a degree in another field of study. I hope 9 months is enough time for me to recover at least enough to function again. My parents get it, more or less, but I know Christmas will be hell. I already feel bad enough, but my family is the type to think that work/studies is what brings purpose into your life and that you are being a useless, miserable being if you aren't doing either at the moment. Even my younger cousins are going to joke about it and laugh at me, and I'm horrible at defending myself. I wanted to pretend I was still in college, but my mom has already told everyone so I'll have to deal with it. On top of that, I'm on antidepressants now, so I can't even be drunk af like last year when I had just broken up with my ex. Sorry for the rant, just needed somewhere to talk about it.
I wish you luck, and a merry christmas. I'm the unlucky undiagnosed 30 year old that's rooting for you from the sidelines I guess. My one life tip is to get an ecucation in something you really like, I wish I could have told myself that 14 years ago... I wanted to become a woodcarver, I still do, but instead I went with the "safe option" of becoming a teacher. I regret that. I'm not a teacher, I don't like kids, and I work in a low-wage job I don't really want to pay the bills. I just have 4 years of teaching school to pay down, that's all I got out of it. So take your nine months, and consider your interests, your skills, and your mental health and capacity. And then choose something you actually want to.
It may not be possible if you are reliant financially on your parents, but did you know it is possible to skip Christmas? 'I strongly suspect I'll be made fun of so I decided not to go this year. Here are the presents I'm obligated to give. Feel free to return mine if you like.' Also look up grey rocking, it can be helpful.
Pro tip if they treat you like sh1t don’t hang out with them if they do not care about how you are feeling and make you feel worse overall don’t hang out with them family are supposed to support each other not tear each other down if they do not love or care for you like they should then they’re not your family they’re pieces of sh1t that need to be flushed out of your life and in your parents case flushed down to the retirement home
I burned out and had to quit in college. It sucked. I was just diagnosed with ADHD last year and I'm 35, but I might be autistic as well or in stead. It's difficult! And the holidays are always hard. I hope you can get some rest. Perhaps look for a therapist. Hugs from someone who knows what all that crap feels like. Now I'm just the disabled family disappointment who has been stopped being invited to the holidays. My family sucks. Cheers!
I am also a late diagnosis asd case. I actually used to have a great work ethic keeping up with all work, but that was mostly because I blocked out all my emotions and basically lived like a hollow shell of myself. then I got therapy and now I can't do it anymore because I know how unhealthy it was. people around me are very understanding thankfully !
No joke, this is why I’ve spent the last few months buying crafts and putting together goodie bags for the kids in my kiddo’s class. It takes the pressure off of the teacher and she doesn’t have to 1) spend outta her own pocket 2) only give them the crappy print-offs that most of them won’t like. I’ve given her enough to either save for the next few years or to share with the other teachers. For December alone, I’ve got enough for the kids to do something for the whole month and still have some for the next few years. Parents, if you can afford it, and the teacher is actually trying to be a good teacher (not just ignoring the “problem kids” and actually cares about all their students), try to do what you can for them, even if it’s just sending in extra supplies, donating for field trips, sending in extra art supplies, etc… you can also ask what the class needs the most and help with that, only if you can afford it though, but I can say the the Dollar Tree is an amazing place to get art supplies for cheap
My cousin did rec for like 4 years and EVERY SUMMER she paid at least $50 out of her own money over budget just to offer the kids better toys to play with.
@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 wait that's actually how it works there? That's honestly crazy. In Germany the students parents or students themselves have to buy the materials and usually it's not more than 10 dollars.
I used to think Twitter was terrible before--but after the Musk buyout it's unreal. It's like discovering there's another toilet that your toilet uses when it feels like it's full of too much shit.
If I had to guess, the burnout article is probably following the philosophy that you see some people say of creative projects, which is be working on more than one at once, so that you can take a break from one by working on another. Except I don't think it works the same for 9-5's. You aren't going to distract yourself from the problems of one job by doing another job when you don't have time between them to run errands and do downtime activities. You're going to be lucky to just get enough sleep..
The article was about a rich guy who decided to get multiple jobs to cure his boredom. Then recommending if you're burnt out or not being paid enough to just get more jobs. So basically an out of touch rich guy thinking he just solved the hardest riddle ever.
big problem with this is also that some people consider burnout and depression to be the same thing (its not) and while "get a job" can sometimes be part of a treatment plan* to boost social interaction, self-worth and productivity, it is very much the last thing you should do with burnout edit: * for depression
When I was working 14-16 hours everyday during the height of the pandemic running hundreds of COVID-19 tests all day everyday, the cure for my burnout would have been SLEEP.
A job is probably the worst way to do it though If you want to boost social interaction go to a local community project or activity Work will only make you despise your colleagues
My job story: I used to work at a tire company out in the bay changing tires. I was the only girl to work at the place so it was pretty big deal for me and I was super excited, and even finished all of my training early because I wanted to prove to my boss that I was more than happy to work (also because I wanted to show I was willing to put in the work for promotions too). I worked on changing tires for a few months before being put on air check. There were multiple people that got hired after me and were promoted without even finishing their training, and I was still stuck on air-check. Even though I would often ask my boss about being promoted to the front desk as I had started to refer people to go buy new tires because theirs were wearing out, I was told that "My training wasn't finished yet". (keep in mind, all of my training for both bay work and sales work had been completed way before I started asking). A few months go by and I get hit in the face, had to go to the hospital, and got stitches on my eyebrow, eyelid, and right next to the outer edge of my eye. Boss told me that worker's comp would pay for my hospital expenses. I ended up quitting a few weeks after due to the boss wanting me to come in and work while the stitches were still in and afterwards getting a text from him saying that I put them in a real bind because of quitting. I called worker's comp and asked them about the bill and they told me that even if I quit they would still pay the bill because it happened while I was working. It's been almost two years now and the bill still hasn't been paid. (almost a $3,000 bill, it's been passed to collections and every time I try and call worker's comp I get radio silence)
@@sabersky1134 (I know this is old I'm sorry. I'm finally getting through all my comment notifications) They did end up paying a few months ago because we did threaten to get a lawyer. We didn't do it sooner just because both myself and my parents couldn't afford a lawyer at the time and we were able to scrape enough money together just in case. (Thankfully we didn't have to hire a lawyer)
"You get paid in exposure. You know, people come into the office and they... they see you at the front desk - you get paid in exposure!" As an introvert, this is nightmare fuel
So, my job story: I used to be a Starbucks barista. I had worked for 2 and a half years. There were so many rough patches but it's the only company in the USA that has transgender healthcare benefits. So, I stayed. But, things got progressively worse. Karens were every other customer when before, it was only around 1 Karen every 100 people. So, back in May, I decided that I'd put in my 2 week notice. That same day, the power went out at Starbucks. (And Starbucks as a company says if this happens, wait half an hour, if the power stays out, you go home.) My MANAGER said we had to work no matter what. The inside reached 80°F (the company policy says if this happens, you are to leave immediately.) My manager said to continue working. My coworkers and I were so fed up. I quit right then. When he asked why, I said it was because of life reasons, but I wish I told him right then and there that it was because he was a pile of garbage. I also wish I had called HR on his butt
He should have gotten a write up for that, you shouldn’t have quit, although if you did have other reasons to quit it’s understandable, but it would have been better to get him a write up, my mom has had one on her, and it was all because she hurt this one woman’s feelings, so I definitely think he would have gotten fired for violating such important rules.
How can you work without power though? No registers, no espresso machines or blenders, every time the fridge is opened the temp goes up and soon the milk is an unsafe temperature-like seriously what “work” could you do?
There are so many stories of this. If people actually stood up for themselves consistently then this type of stuff would happen a lot less than it does. All of the employees should have been on the phone with HR/corporate/OSHA
It should go both ways, compensation for the victim, while the costs for tge Karen keep going up until a single apple is a cost they can't manage. If you can't empathize with your fellow humans, don't expect them to feel bad for you, unless it's a actual proven medical issue, in which case get the help you need
Psychologists: "burnout can be helped by reducing the work load but also spreading the responsibilities for a slow, free and relaxing environment that doesn't sit still" Employer: "second job?"
I remember how relieved I was when I got divorced, and they banished me to the kids table. I was so happy to be in a completely separate room from the adults table.
‘The Devil Wears Prada’ has the best commentary on Anti-Hustle Culture argue with a wall. That movie set the record straight about the conventional job market.
I’m an animator, one of the biggest red flags I got was a client who said they want a ‘Disney quality animation for free. Continued to tell me a story about an artist Disney brought in and they didn’t pay her. Years later she was going to get evicted as she couldn’t afford rent and Disney paid her mortgage off. Don’t manipulate people to work for free. Thank you :)
You should've said something along the line of: "if they had paid her from the start, she might not have gotten nearly evicted in the first place, right?"
They also paid the voice of Snow white $970 (about $18,000 in today's money) and didn't credit her in the movie because credits would "ruin the magic".
23:40 So fun fact: I found out I got grey listed at a large company at my state when I was called asked if I was busy for an interview at that moment and I responded "I have an interview for a possible job in 5 minutes, but I would love to interview for your company. Can't put all my eggs in one basket."

"Sitting in your mom and dad's basement playing video games, get off your butt and get a job!" It's almost like playing video games for an audience is an actual career people can choose nowadays.
Many things are in theory possible as career. Gaming only becomes a career if you actively make it so. Streaming, applying for a team, looking for sponsors, basically you need to look for a "job" that pays the bills. Just sitting in the cellar and playing games is not a career/job.
Also, there's no better way to motivate people, than to berate and belittle them, right? I mean seriously, does this person really think anyone will go "Well, I was living comfortably in my mom's basement playing video games all day, but your advertisement has opened my eyes so now I want to be a good worker, because life is for working, not for fun". 😂 Whether they know it or not, it's not an employee they need, rather they need to feel superior to someone.
"Working in a fast pace environment" means that you won't know what you're doing from one minute to the next and we'll change the goalposts with no notice. "Must be able to work under own initiative or under the instruction of others" means you'll be given no guidance whatsoever by your manager but told off when you don't do what they never told you they expected. "Competitive salary" means the salary is technically legal. "Computer literate" means they have no idea what we actually want you to do with computers, it might be the ability to write a word document, possibly to produce a pretty spreadsheet or maybe you'll be taking computers apart and putting them back together again. "Must be a team player" means you'll have you take the blame for things that weren't your fault "Must be flexible" means... Who knows? Available 24/7 for on call yoga?
As someone who spent approximately two years sending in 2 to 4 applications in a week during my high-school years, I would have honestly appreciated emails saying I was rejected for a position because only ONCE did I ever get a reply from any of those attempts.
Honestly same. I’m filling out apps as I’m working a job that no longer serves me, and I appreciate companies that send back saying I was rejected for a position cause then I don’t have to worry about educating myself for the job or company, because they always ask that question. Now the problem I run into is when companies tell me we have other applicants to interview we’ll call you around this date if you got the job, even if you don’t get the job then we’ll call and they never proceed to call. Like just fucking tell me I didn’t get the job so I can get my closure instead of hoping I got the job. I will profusely thank a company for being that transparent, as to tell me I didn’t get the job rather than internally know through a bullshit(trying to let an applicant down easy) excuse.
Yes, there's affordable properties almost everywhere. Here in the Netherlands, there's a really cute cabin on an island in a river that you can only reach by boat that goes for less than 100k :) And you can always try to share a room with a creep who only wants women under 26 who work out just enough to be thin but not enough to be strong :)
@@persooniemand8346 those were the only kinds of cheap housing I can think of here... well either that, or you have to be on a list for social housing for years and years.
One of my courses in uni was Human Resource Management. It taught so many views, methods and plans to increase employee satisfaction/motivation. The last chapter was about how all the things in previous chapters have terrible success rates in practice because executives keep forgetting that before even thinking about using these methods, the employee has to already be at their own standard of living. The exam was basically us criticizing all the usual lines the companies use to wiesel their way out of paying more. I had a field day with "we're a family". One of my favorite courses for sure.
"And you don't pay your family" sir. Sir Cliccy. There are days when I would pay my family to just leave me alone. There have been years where I would pay my brothers to stop being annoying for 5 damn minutes while I played videogames. Parents pay their children to do chores when they get old enough to realize they can question authority.
He was being sarcastic about the endless places that say "we're a family" to try to guilt their workers into staying for poor wages and working environments. Because you don't "abandon" your family.
Honestly though, them saying "no one wants to work" is just a fancy way of saying "I'm an abusive boss who will expect you to be a doormat, and be outraged if you act like you're a human being who deserves basic rights."
The "bragging about record profit while telling employees the company can't afford to pay more" situation happened to me just the other day. My boss was congratulating us because we already beat all expectations for the year and right after that told us we wouldn't be getting xmas bonuses this year because the company can't afford it. It was really weird lol Also, I know exactly what sponsor you were talking about Click, I remember you talking about it on your podcast. After watching the entire video, all of these were way too relatable and now I want to go cry in a corner, thx Click lol
It reminds me of an old construction job i was in. They also had a great profit. They made a meeting congratulating us on the work, the key part that never got out my head was that they told us to work harder. There was an awkward silence. In those times, I was aware of some foreman already working for them with 10 plus years. Winning a dollar or two more than the new employees. I even knew a guy who couldn’t walk well because of an injury from that work. When Christmas came, i was told that they got less bonus than last year, i had a few months so I wasn’t aware . For me $100 US dollars was great but they told me they gotten double or more than that. I then knew that the boss went on vacation for a month and that’s when i first started to feel salty about them.
I keep pushing my favourite question that I conjured up on my own during an interview: Ask the interviewers why they chose to switch over to the company. This is always a gold mine that tells you why they were convinced then, what they think now, etc.
That story about the worker not smiling reminds me of the time one of my bosses scolded me for not looking happy while I was /sweeping/ the floor. Like wow, what riveting activity! Such fun :)
10:16 the worst part of this isn’t just they hyped something up just for it to just be pizza, it’s that they laid off what seems to be this worker’s accommodation to ease working there. they’re making their job hell, and thinking pizza is enough to make up for it. just treat your employees well.
"But if we don't exploit our employees we won't make money" that's all anything a corporation does is about THEIR pockets they screw you over leave find a new job don't stay because you need the money because that's only a surefire way to be miserable
the kids table is absolutely where it's at. As soon as outgrowing it, I started volunteering to look after the smaller kids. (anything to avoid the grownup conversations, I reckon ;)
My family combined kids and adults for holiday meals- dining table got several extensions, all sorts of chairs pulled from around the house. It was almost an adult-child-adult pattern. This was for helping us kids with passing the heavy dishes at first, but we stuck with it- there was traditional seating that only got slight adjustments. Although some adult conversations happened, kids were allowed (even encouraged) to participate and the adults also encouraged the kids to choose topics, with the kids leading most of the discussion (sometimes science, something we wanted to learn more about, books and movies, games, hobbies, etc). So we had the best of both worlds. The boring “grownup” conversations weren’t during eating, so the “kids” (even when most of us were teens) would leave to play games for a couple hours before returning for dessert. Now, the youngest is over 21, and we have the “kids” end and the “older generations” end, because we tend to have different conversations, but the entire table does join in on topics from both ends. We had a short story time where someone read “Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?” last time for nostalgia and to introduce SOs to our favorite childhood books. 😂
Unfortunately for me, the kids table only really had like 6 people vs. the adults' probably 15 or so. My siblings and I and then 3/4 of our cousins that were our age (Well most were closer to my brother's age so I'm still the oldest of all of them). The other one, never shows up since her family is usually out travelling somewhere else.
Those managers giving their employees pizza reminds me of my boss organising us lunch so we won't go to the grocery store during the early waves of covid. I asked for a glutenfree option. My "glutenfree" option was a cereal bar. I ignored the rule of not going to the grocery store rather than eating something I'm allergic to
You know, i do volunteering sometimes and THAT'S the thing where free pizza may be a bonus. You did hard work on your own will, you helped other people or animals or whatever and get free food as a bonus. P.S. i got better treatment working for free than some of the poor guys in this video working for money
Well, of course you'd be treated better working for free. If you weren't, they wouldn't be able to find any volunteers. Companies get workers by paying them enough to ensure harsh working environments.
Whenever I hear about how little money teachers make, I always think of the first episode of Mystery Incorporated, where Daphne says "But you're a teacher! Why do you need money?" And the guy just stares, and the entire gang is like "Oh, yeah."
My mom was a teacher and I watched her doing so much work at home all the time and always having to buy her own supplies and dealing with drama on top of never having air conditioning, I decided that job was definitely out of the picture for me. Teachers definitely aren't compensated well enough for the amount of effort and time they have to put into their job.
Work burnout around the holidays is super common. I asked for a couple days off after black Friday to rest and relax. You know, after one of the most stressful work days in the USA. Well my boss said no, and showed me a print out from his boss explaining: "There will be no time off from Nov 21st through January 1st. All employee requests for time off will be automatically denied during this time. The holiday season is busy and we need all hands on deck." So my reply to this was. Ok, guess I am just quitting then. Good luck this holiday season. When I told my co-workers about this, I got 3 others to quit with me. All of us were complaining they needed to raise our pay. So maybe loosing half their staff (Small liquor store, not a lot of employees) the day before thanksgiving will show them they can't get away with treating us like shit.
If I was an employer, I would give employees unlimited, unpaid time off. To incentivise working in peak periods, I would pay workers more during that time. If only min. wage laws didn't get in the way. They make it illegal to pay workers what they're worth during off-peak periods, so to compensate, employers pay workers less than what they're worth during peak periods and require them to work in peak periods so it averages out.
"The future is bright!" At 33:57 really was the highlight of this whole video. Said in a joking manner, big smile to present the line yet the pain and sarcasm underneath was powerful.
The one at 17:23 is literally me. My uncle got so mad last year because my cousin (male) chose to put on nail polish. I’ve been talking to them for years to do what they want and ignore what other people tell them, so seeing him breaking gender norms like a total king made me a bit proud.
I spent over a year working at a McDonalds in the US. I was threatened with physical violence, including multiple threats on my life, was stalked by customers multiple times and had to endure a solid forty-five minutes of verbal abuse and belittling by a customer who told me "my name was fake, made up and my parents were stupid for naming me such a dumb thing" and then getting mad when I didn't agree with him. Since then, I've worked with lots of folks from many walks of life, but have never been treated worse, anywhere.
Works be like: Hey we may underpay you, make you overwork/do work home during weekends, force you to attend work parties (that no one enjoys) in your free time, call you in when you're on vacation or sick, but look, we bought a new coffee machine! :D We are so awesome, right?
31:46 yes, it is, and that's actually, genuinely how I found out I had a burnout. If you're hoping to catch a potentially long-term illness just so you can have a break from work, you are really not doing okay.
@@BlueSkyBirdiesYou're not alone. For me, it's the complex trauma from longer than I can remember combined with the realities of late stage capitalism. No clue wtf to do it about it, I can't afford the time it takes to recover while I'm barely keeping my head above water and the older I get the more hopeless it is.
19:06 Especially considering the fact that those people treat employees like they aren't really human beings and will go as far as physical attacks such as throwing their burning hot food/drinks on the worker if they don't get what they want. Dealing with people like that is a hazard.
20:15 I kinda feel him. My highschool councilor kept having meetings with my parents, telling them that I was mean to my classmates (which got me grounded a lot). It turned out they told her that I was a bitch because I didn't talk nor smile that much during class. Thankfully, she was fired.
I'm basically unemployable because of "gaps in my resume" because I was caring for my mother who had a stroke. I've been in interviews where I can see the light in their eyes turn off when I tell them I was caring for a family member and not spending that time doing like 50 unpaid volunteer positions because that's the only time that unemployment is justified to them
Caring for mother who had a stroke can be turned into volunteering with assisting seniors with medical needs and being assigned one patient in particular due to specialized knowledge of their particular needs. If they ask for specifics, that's confidential information about a third party you may not share. Not a single lie here, but it looks better and the privacy aspect stops them from digging deeper.
@EverTheFractal 90% of corporate speak comes down to fluffing stuff up with the aid of a thesaurus and some strategic forgetfulness when describing what you do. Like saying technical assistance instead of screwing in a light bulb. This should be kept to a minimum, since a lot of recruiters know this tric very well. I hope you have found something since last year. If not, I hope this helps.
Oh no - the CEO assistant job reminds me of a job listing for a admin role I saw recently which stated at the very top "Looking for a young attractive female willing to work in a male dominated environment and all that it entails. Manners and smile are a must". I was like HARD PASS
Forcing yourself to work more will actually stop you from feeling burnout! ... By overexerting yourself. You know how people who are seriously depressed don't feel sad, just numb? Or how when you're so tired you feel awake? It's like that. Don't do it
@@sourgreendolly7685 I know, but for the people volunteering their time because "my boss asked really nicely", and the people who CAN afford to not work as much, I feel like it's a message that needs to be said.
_"Want to afford a house? Give up luxuries like gym memberships"_ It would take 952.4 years for my gym membership to buy the small rural house I live in.
Not much time at all! My gym membership is super cheap so it would take 3,387 years to buy my house with my gym membership. I think I'll just keep the gym membership since having a regular work out routine probably does more to improve my health than it does to hurt my finances.
It’s really baffling how one gets a job. I can’t work when I’m underage and I don’t want to miss out on my education but time management is not a simple answer. HOW DO I GET A STABLE INCOME? (screams into the void)
Im a fellow minor who have managed to work over school. My best answer for you is literally just priorities. You gotta think: 'do i wanna prioritize school or work?' If you wanna take super advanced classes i reccomend to just not work or work very little. When i was a sophmore i had three honors classes and an ap class and it was hell. I couldnt get enough sleep, get my homework on time, and lots more shit. Honestly kids shouldnt be expected to work doing school but life sucks.
If you can find a job where you work around 10 hours a week on weekends, maybe that could work while in school? I'm in university and don't currently have a job, but worked 50 hour weeks during the summer so I could save up for school. I worked for a small family-owned business that payed more than minimum wage (currently $15/hr where I live) and gave me a raise when I came back the next year, so big companies should definitely be able to pay a living wage (they just don't want to).
@@UltimatePerfectionIt sounds like the onion, but I've heard so many crazy things that really did happen that a lot of onion articles actually look real until I look at the author.
5:20 I had two Heart Attacks over the course of 3 days at 22yo because I was persistently caffeinated for 30 days straight working two part-time jobs, 10+hours a day, 7 days a week. Now at 28, despite working unpaid overtime, I was still let go for "Not making the Numbers." I need Income, but I have no desire to work for anyone outside my allotted hours ever again.
As someone who is unemployed because of disability, I would definitely take the 2x pay over getting my dream job. At least I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore, and I wouldn't have to do the work I'm unable to do.
I was laid off two years ago. I was planning on retiring after the unemployment ran out but fortunately or unfortunately I was offered a job doing the same work for literally twice what I was making. So, yeah, thew only reason I am working is cuz I make twice the pay for the same job. I would love to retire but the money is just too damn good. I'm definitely a bit conflicted. My ONLY motivation for working a job is the money. The other stuff is a nice to have (time off, health insurance, dental insurance, sick time, pizza) but really has no bearing on my working.
I remember that one time I was working two jobs, then slipped and fell down the stairs and my first thought was "I hope my leg is broken"... Fun times...
31:30 My dad worked in a credit card call center, and they had a book in the office to help employees cope with management demanding more from them after they've already met expectations... it was titled "Who Moved My Cheese?" 😤
We were given that book. I thought it was called who stole my cheese. But yeah, they were basically telling us to just deal with whatever they came up with and not moan and bitch about it 😣
Work place story: Let me preface this by saying a store-wide joke is that whenever somebody gets hired here they are selling their soul to XXXX-company. I am a personal shopper for said company and in the first few months of me working there I had two days off with $12 an hour for 6 hours a day and a 6am-12pm schedule (sometimes 1 or 2 o' clock if we were busy) plus the job was pretty simple. I was comfortable with my position and I loved having that 6 hour work day, it was good for me. Then I switched to nights to catch up on sleep (10-5 / 11-6) but I was still okay with that. Until recently. I became an admin recently. And admins manage the room where we put away all the grocery orders, bill people, run out orders to the customers and take phone calls, plus manage the shoppers. It's a hard and overwhelming job where you basically become acting manager of the department when the actual manager isn't there. Anyone can become an admin if they ask to be trained to be one. Now, A bunch of people quit, our department became way understaffed and upper management refused to work with us about cutting back orders. (For reference a casual day is 50-60 orders maybe even just 40 if we're lucky, leaving plenty of time for night crew to start on tomorrows orders by lets say 1-2:00) For 3 days in a row now we've been overloaded with 80+ orders in a single day with only 1-2 shoppers on the floor and one admin in the room (That admin being me). So far in those 3 days we've had to call over 30 customers to tell them to come tomorrow to get their groceries because we don't have the people to keep up with the demand. And also in those 3 days I've been scheduled 8 hour shifts despite being only part time, my two days became one day with no hope of ever getting it back, I'm constantly being called in to come an hour early to help with the workload, I've not been taking my 30 or 15 minute lunch breaks to compensate for time loss, I have customers calling screaming and yelling at me, I'm getting crap from our HR representative when I want someone to stay to help me in the room, I'm taking out orders, I'm managing the computers, taking calls, answering questions, billing, checking on the shoppers, putting the orders away and so much more all while we're two hours behind and I'm praying we can get today done. Now you may ask, do you get a raise or compensation for this clearly difficult and higher position? No. Absolutely not. Whether you are a shopper or admin, the pay is the same. It's just a fancy title with more responsibility attached to it for no extra benefits. Oh, but you get a cute little vest and a slightly different name tag so there's that. Which is why I plan on quitting that place once Christmas is over. I'm sick of dealing with all that responsibility and grief with no extra benefit to either my paycheck nor my scheduling. I just can't keep up with the insane workload expected of me anymore and anytime I hear someone say they want to work here I immediately tell them no. HR doesn't care, the store owner doesn't care and it does not matter how hard you work yourself over here because your talent and effort will never be recognised. Well it will be in cute little $5 vouchers that my HR rep loves to hand out in troves. Yeah that'll pay for groceries that month, thanks. So will the clearly empty words of encouragement they love to throw around so much.
Basically what happened to my mother. She is supposed to only be a part time worker but over the decades Management has cut back on staff while the work is the same yet still expecting everything to be done. Fast forward to today. The work that was once handled by an entire department is now handled by two people. My mother, a "part time" worker, and another women who is only supposed to work for 2 days a week to "fill in". They are racking up dozens of hours of overtime each month. My mother alone has hundreds of hours of overtime "saved up" at any given time. Used to be way more though. Whenever someone would complain they would get ignored all while they lay off even more people. The same thing is happening company wide. All while the they have record breaking profits Im not exagerating when I say that corporate is soulless and evil. They wont stop demanding more and giving less until someone kills themselves. Actually, not even then probably.
As someone who also studied and considered education and teaching, I am sad to say I also refuse to work as a teacher because I won't be able to support myself let alone my pets and partner. Sucks man...
Watching some of these makes me miss being able to work. Looking back at these annoyances can make ya feel alive, at the least. Never take time for granted, one day anything can happen.
I've gone years-long periods as an unemployed adult and yeah, it got me so depressed. If money was no longer an issue I'd probably just volunteer at an SPCA or something so I have to keep some kind of routine and responsibility.
@@KeshiaRambles I understand how you feel. "Oh, you must love being home all the time. All that free time..." Like, no. Sometimes it is uplifting to have a purpose. My ideas were either running a cat rescue (high sleep area) or opening a makerspace since none are local.

My last job was sketchy AF. The company made an illegal policy about how we couldn't discuss pay with coworkers, refused to give us more than 5 paid days off (this included any sick leave/vacation), gave us a bare minimum budget so that we had to use our own money to finish projects, AND one year they closed for the whole week of Christmas, and didn't pay us for the forced week off! I worked there for 3 years, busting my ass, but the absolute last straw was when I (against company policy) asked my coworkers what they were being paid, and learned that the new person was making the same as me, and I was the team lead! I said screw this, put in my notice, and left. About 5 to 8 people followed my lead and left too.
God some of those hit hard. Especially the "Hoping my covid test is positive to get some days of" I usually am a complete shut in that never leaves the house. But I tried SO HARD to get covid and risk my health on getting a few days off of the job i hated so much but needed to survive back then.
I always get so confused when people talk about "the kids table" bc everyone else in my family was already an adult while I was still just a kid (except the one cousin who's only six years older than me) so there's just the one table we all would just sit at and suffer
3:18 knew someone a while back who put in an application for a dog grooming parlor, they wanted her to work a week of 6 to 8 hour unpaid 'trial' shifts. So 42-56 hours of unpaid labor with no guarantee of being hired at the end. I'm pretty sure what they were asking her to do was illegal
I'm a supervisor at my work, and i love sitting in on daily meetings where they praise everyone for the amount of profit we made that week for the store, yet simultaniously complain that we're over budget for wages and that we're not allowed to give people more hours.. I love hypocrysy
Hazard pay should be a thing in retail and the food industry. I remember working for Cineplex at the Candy Bar as a teen. I served a father (roughly in his 40s) and his teen son. The father asked for Pepsi, and I apologized and said we only have Coca-Cola. I was shocked when he aggressively went swiped at me over the counter to grab me. I had to jump back as he attempted to hop over the counter. I was lucky his son held him back and begged him not to hurt me. My manager had to come out and give him a free pass to a showing. I'm still upset he was rewarded for this behaviour.
I love people who care more about helping others do stuff than checking boxes. Like doctors in the US who basically tell you what you need to say for the insurance companies to pay for stuff you need, of bosses who effectively tell you when you're asking for too low a salary, or my boss who knows that the 1 hour meetings are paid for the 1 hour even when they don't run the whole hour and will tell the paycheck people to pay up even though my timesheet says I only did 45 minutes. Sometimes, people need to realize that their job isn't to be a robot or a line of code
12:44 Assuming you get weekends off (which with that company you probably don't) that equates to up to 20 hour shifts. With weekends, shifts are 14 hours long. That is insanity.
15:57 Yes! Very much so! If that company even has an HR/recruiting department they should fire them! They could likely get in deep trouble for just posting that! I'm not sure if the laws about job postings are as strict as laws about housing ads, but I know that *prior to hiring*, you cannot ask a candidate: - Where they were born - How old they are - If they've changed their name - What high school they went to - Their parents' names - What country they're a citizen of. Or any other thing that tells you their ethnic/cultural background, religion, age or national origin. Saying you want to hire someone whose grandparents were born in the US is like a discrimination lawyer's dream. You're not even allowed to ask if someone was born in the US themselves!
Fun interview experience: I once went on a BK interview. I came in at 8 am and was told to sit in one of the booths and that someone would be with me shortly. After 20 minutes I was getting a bit annoyed so I went back to the counter to kindly remind them that I was there. I was sent back to wait. After another 20 something minutes someone finally came to interview me (mind you, the restaurant was EMPTY, there was literally just one person who came in to order something). The interview itself went fine and they said that they'd get back to me. They ghosted me afterwards. Jokes on them, that location is looking for "new additions to the team" till this day (so 3ish years later).

34:30 I actually asked "Why should I work for you?" in a job interview once, too, though I think I phrased it more like "What does this workplace have to offer to its employees?" I was applying to be a proofreader and editor for a local publishing company.
The guy interviewing me visibly straightened up, then said, "Wow, it's like YOU'RE interviewing US!" and laughed nervously. Mind you, this was only the first question I'd asked during the interview. It wasn't as if I'd been bombarding him with questions for the last five minutes.
He then paused for an uncomfortably long time. He said "Let me think..." He paused again.
By the time he finally provided some empty answer, I already knew I'd be running for the hills as soon as this interview was over.
The takeaway?
ASK THIS QUESTION!! A bad employer will freak out at the idea of a potential employee having a sense of self-worth, and you'll be able to save yourself SO much time and grief.
"Wow, it's like YOU'RE interviewing US!" A lot of interviewers are terribly insecure and anyone moving off the standard track can completely throw them. Years ago I moved into teaching having been an engineer and manager for over 20 years. I got lots of interviews but no offers. It is standard practice here (at least in the teaching world) for interviewers to give feedback to unsuccessful candidates. Often it was as unhelpful as "You just weren't the strongest candidate on the day", sometimes it was straightforwardly discriminatory (in a way that is now unlawful, "We feel you are just too old (45!) to be coming into teaching", "A man of your age (still 45!) and background just wouldn't be able to relate to our kids".
The best feedback, however, was: "You were too relaxed and confident in the interview. It seemed as if you were treating it like a conversation!!!" Perhaps the fact that I had interviewed dozens of people for professional roles paying a good deal more than teaching, had attended training as an interviewer where it was stressed that a good interview should be a dialogue to ensure a good fit between candidate and employer and had been an industrial trainer were factors. Maybe it was that I had attended so many unsuccessful interviews that I not only did I have the script off pat but had such a low expectation of success that I was entirely relaxed. Still, it was a little frustrating...
Yikes. You dodged a bullet there.
I once had a job interview where the employer left no space for me to ask questions. Just wanted to extract information from me and move on 😕
Thankfully, I didn't get the job. They wanted to pay below the minimum wage for a contractor position with no benefits. Legal, but 100% scummy behaviour.
I asked ,"what is the main reason people leave this company?" They said attendance.... thats not a reason why they leave. Thats the reason why they are fired.
@@pandapuffzee8255 I love this one! I'll definitely be asking this question at my interviews from now on 😁

I’m a really patient and understanding individual. When I have bad customer service, I always look at the person who is attending me. If its a person my same age (I,m 28) acting like a teenager, I totally go out on them. If its a teenager, I always try to tell them to not worry, I can wait and I understand. I can tell that some pressure lifts off. I wish I had someone do the same to me.
"Everyone needs to work retail to see how bad it is." No everyone just needs to learn to be respectful and I wouldn't recommend anyone working retail just to get a taste. I worked in a call centre dealing with a £3.50 bridge fare that easily spiraled to tons of debt and we got our shouting but I wouldn't want to climatise you or anyone to the broken and timid "Oh" of a old woman offering to pay off her daughter's debt and being told it's 5k after asking how much.
All politicians should be *FORCED* to maintain a minimum wage, floor level job at a randomly assigned shitty employer as a requirement to stay in their position, with no access to additional savings or income.
Just imagin how fast they'd be leading the holy crusade to make those places actually viable to work at
Of all the jobs I had, anything that involves customer service are the worst. I worked IT, and had to deal with a lot of stupid people who often set up unrealistic expectations and wanted me to "turn water into wine". I can't imagine how it would be like to work in the fast food industry where your bosses are sadistic and customers are downright hostile.
If anything, the workers are the ones keeping the industry afloat, and I'm appalled that they aren't paid a living wage. Do you know what happens when you don't pay an employee a living wage? The tax payer foots the bill. That means their employers are passing the responsibility of a living wage to the rest of the tax payers. How is this even legal? Companies that pay employees meager wages to a point where they have to be on welfare should be fined HEAVILY.
ive never even had a job but ive always been patient with workers (except when a builder is supposed to come in 3 days amd takes 3 months, like a week or 2 is ok cos maybe they were too busy but 3 months is just bs)
Having been a manager at McDonalds, the amount of times I told off a customer for screaming and cussing at a 15-16 y/o kid is incredible. I did it in a super shaming way. There are reasons that I left to make less money elsewhere, sometimes see my teenagers though and they really miss me
You are honestly a hero to me. A lot of managers will just look the other way and if the teen tried to say something the manager would yell at them. That's what I see at least

My cramps were so bad that I'd vomit from the pain, I hemorrhaged and hallucinated from blood loss, on two separate occasions. One teacher forced me to jog around the gym, because her period wasn't painful, so I guess nobody had issues. I collapsed, and my mum was, well angry doesn't describe it.

But for the remaining 4 months they partied and feasted and we’re forbidden from working or going to war with each other. This system ended thanks to colonization and capitalism but I wish we could bring it back.

Even as teenagers, if my stepsons went on a job site with me, I paid them, even if I wasn't billing for them being there. Exploiting family is one of the shittiest things small business people do.
Exactly. My Mom used to CONSTANTLY have to fightbwith and force my dad to pay my brothers when he'd bring them onto jobs sites to help out.

The funniest thing about "you don't pay your family" is that if I needed money for something when I was younger, my grandparents would find me some work to do in the garden or something and pay me to do it.
I have several family members, especially older members, that will fight for the right to pay the younger members when they need help. (They have to fight because we just help, just because.)

I worked Sundays in our familys restaurant when I was 12 to 15. I paid for my riding lessons, equipment and camps myself. But I was also a free nanny for my much younger cousins, because my aunt thought thats what family is for.. family can be difficult.
I do art commissions and as a result my grandmother paid me $100 including shipping for a Christmas present for my grandfather, half upfront.
When I was little, before my dad would allow allowance, once my mom paid me like a quarter for every ladybug I could catch to put in the garden to eat aphids. Sometimes it was garden chores, yard chores, little things around the house beyond my basic chores.
The story about a person who got fired for not chatting with their colleagues in their breaks was really frightening to me.

Yeah it is. On my last job interview I chose not to lie about being social. Instead I said I usually need a little time to get to know people and prefer not to start converstations. I didn’t get the job. Funny enough, I got my previous position just because I was calm and introverted (the person who hired me said so). So, even though these were virtually the same kind of jobs, now these qualities were rejected. I’m conflicted how I should act. To lie or not to lie, that is the question.
@@stompingliger personally I think you shouldn't lie. If you get the job after lying about you being social, you still have to work with people, who think it's essential to be extroverted.

Fun fact: Under US labor law, working interviews have to be paid if the employee is actually doing work that benefits the company.
Well, there's such thing as volunteering. That's legal and unpaid. It's normally done for non-profits, but I don't see why doing it for a corporation suddenly makes it illegal.

I have worked as both HR and as a Director of Operations. I can tell you that it is 100% illegal to do a "trial period" for applicants. Labor laws are strict. Even if a company tries to claim them as an intern, or volunteer, there are strict rules companies have to follow

I needed this subreddit today. I've just dropped out of college because of severe burnout. I'm autistic, but it went undiagnosed until this summer, I was 18, and only was assessed because I asked about it and suspected it myself. It was obvious I had some difficulties throughout my life, but my undiagnosed dad just told me that stuff was normal and happened to almost everyone in our family. I was also labelled as gifted growing up, so I was given more work and almost perfect grades were expected of me, without any help or adaptations. I managed to keep this up throughout all of highschool and get into a highly demanded degree at a prestigious university here in my country. But it almost fucking killed me. On top of everything, I also had trouble socializing and fitting in, an art I almost perfected at the cost of my mental health, was constantly called lazy because I couldn't study as many hours without breaks/couldn't study at all some days and had trouble keeping my room clean and more stuff like that that ends up making you feel like shit about yourself.
And I just can't keep doing this. The past few months have been so bad I had various panic attacks some days, and was more sensitive than ever to sounds, smells and all that stuff. Hell, I ended up crying one night because the washing machine and something else in the kitchen were on at the same time and it was just too much. I've never been that sensitive and I know it's because I'm too fucking stressed. Last week I ended up in the ER because of suicidal and self harming thoughts. My roommates here are super sweet and have taken care of me for a few days now, but I'll be going back to my hometown soon. I just can't do this anymore.
I plan on coming back to college next year, although I probably will choose a degree in another field of study. I hope 9 months is enough time for me to recover at least enough to function again. My parents get it, more or less, but I know Christmas will be hell. I already feel bad enough, but my family is the type to think that work/studies is what brings purpose into your life and that you are being a useless, miserable being if you aren't doing either at the moment. Even my younger cousins are going to joke about it and laugh at me, and I'm horrible at defending myself. I wanted to pretend I was still in college, but my mom has already told everyone so I'll have to deal with it. On top of that, I'm on antidepressants now, so I can't even be drunk af like last year when I had just broken up with my ex.
Sorry for the rant, just needed somewhere to talk about it.
I wish you luck, and a merry christmas. I'm the unlucky undiagnosed 30 year old that's rooting for you from the sidelines I guess.
My one life tip is to get an ecucation in something you really like, I wish I could have told myself that 14 years ago... I wanted to become a woodcarver, I still do, but instead I went with the "safe option" of becoming a teacher. I regret that. I'm not a teacher, I don't like kids, and I work in a low-wage job I don't really want to pay the bills. I just have 4 years of teaching school to pay down, that's all I got out of it.
So take your nine months, and consider your interests, your skills, and your mental health and capacity. And then choose something you actually want to.
It may not be possible if you are reliant financially on your parents, but did you know it is possible to skip Christmas?
'I strongly suspect I'll be made fun of so I decided not to go this year. Here are the presents I'm obligated to give. Feel free to return mine if you like.'
Also look up grey rocking, it can be helpful.
Pro tip if they treat you like sh1t don’t hang out with them if they do not care about how you are feeling and make you feel worse overall don’t hang out with them family are supposed to support each other not tear each other down if they do not love or care for you like they should then they’re not your family they’re pieces of sh1t that need to be flushed out of your life and in your parents case flushed down to the retirement home
I burned out and had to quit in college. It sucked. I was just diagnosed with ADHD last year and I'm 35, but I might be autistic as well or in stead. It's difficult! And the holidays are always hard. I hope you can get some rest. Perhaps look for a therapist. Hugs from someone who knows what all that crap feels like. Now I'm just the disabled family disappointment who has been stopped being invited to the holidays. My family sucks.
Cheers!
I am also a late diagnosis asd case. I actually used to have a great work ethic keeping up with all work, but that was mostly because I blocked out all my emotions and basically lived like a hollow shell of myself. then I got therapy and now I can't do it anymore because I know how unhealthy it was. people around me are very understanding thankfully !

No joke, this is why I’ve spent the last few months buying crafts and putting together goodie bags for the kids in my kiddo’s class. It takes the pressure off of the teacher and she doesn’t have to 1) spend outta her own pocket 2) only give them the crappy print-offs that most of them won’t like. I’ve given her enough to either save for the next few years or to share with the other teachers. For December alone, I’ve got enough for the kids to do something for the whole month and still have some for the next few years.
Parents, if you can afford it, and the teacher is actually trying to be a good teacher (not just ignoring the “problem kids” and actually cares about all their students), try to do what you can for them, even if it’s just sending in extra supplies, donating for field trips, sending in extra art supplies, etc… you can also ask what the class needs the most and help with that, only if you can afford it though, but I can say the the Dollar Tree is an amazing place to get art supplies for cheap

If I had to guess, the burnout article is probably following the philosophy that you see some people say of creative projects, which is be working on more than one at once, so that you can take a break from one by working on another. Except I don't think it works the same for 9-5's. You aren't going to distract yourself from the problems of one job by doing another job when you don't have time between them to run errands and do downtime activities. You're going to be lucky to just get enough sleep..

big problem with this is also that some people consider burnout and depression to be the same thing (its not) and while "get a job" can sometimes be part of a treatment plan* to boost social interaction, self-worth and productivity, it is very much the last thing you should do with burnout
edit: * for depression
When I was working 14-16 hours everyday during the height of the pandemic running hundreds of COVID-19 tests all day everyday, the cure for my burnout would have been SLEEP.
A job is probably the worst way to do it though

My job story:
I used to work at a tire company out in the bay changing tires. I was the only girl to work at the place so it was pretty big deal for me and I was super excited, and even finished all of my training early because I wanted to prove to my boss that I was more than happy to work (also because I wanted to show I was willing to put in the work for promotions too). I worked on changing tires for a few months before being put on air check. There were multiple people that got hired after me and were promoted without even finishing their training, and I was still stuck on air-check. Even though I would often ask my boss about being promoted to the front desk as I had started to refer people to go buy new tires because theirs were wearing out, I was told that "My training wasn't finished yet". (keep in mind, all of my training for both bay work and sales work had been completed way before I started asking).
A few months go by and I get hit in the face, had to go to the hospital, and got stitches on my eyebrow, eyelid, and right next to the outer edge of my eye. Boss told me that worker's comp would pay for my hospital expenses. I ended up quitting a few weeks after due to the boss wanting me to come in and work while the stitches were still in and afterwards getting a text from him saying that I put them in a real bind because of quitting. I called worker's comp and asked them about the bill and they told me that even if I quit they would still pay the bill because it happened while I was working. It's been almost two years now and the bill still hasn't been paid. (almost a $3,000 bill, it's been passed to collections and every time I try and call worker's comp I get radio silence)

So, my job story:
I used to be a Starbucks barista. I had worked for 2 and a half years.
There were so many rough patches but it's the only company in the USA that has transgender healthcare benefits. So, I stayed. But, things got progressively worse. Karens were every other customer when before, it was only around 1 Karen every 100 people.
So, back in May, I decided that I'd put in my 2 week notice.
That same day, the power went out at Starbucks. (And Starbucks as a company says if this happens, wait half an hour, if the power stays out, you go home.)
My MANAGER said we had to work no matter what. The inside reached 80°F (the company policy says if this happens, you are to leave immediately.) My manager said to continue working.
My coworkers and I were so fed up. I quit right then. When he asked why, I said it was because of life reasons, but I wish I told him right then and there that it was because he was a pile of garbage. I also wish I had called HR on his butt
He should have gotten a write up for that, you shouldn’t have quit, although if you did have other reasons to quit it’s understandable, but it would have been better to get him a write up, my mom has had one on her, and it was all because she hurt this one woman’s feelings, so I definitely think he would have gotten fired for violating such important rules.
How can you work without power though? No registers, no espresso machines or blenders, every time the fridge is opened the temp goes up and soon the milk is an unsafe temperature-like seriously what “work” could you do?
There are so many stories of this. If people actually stood up for themselves consistently then this type of stuff would happen a lot less than it does. All of the employees should have been on the phone with HR/corporate/OSHA
That kind of stories is why we need unions

Teacher: $40,000 salary
Guy Who Nods and Smiles When CEO Says Something Idiotic: $150,000 salary
"Sitting in your mom and dad's basement playing video games, get off your butt and get a job!" It's almost like playing video games for an audience is an actual career people can choose nowadays.
Many things are in theory possible as career. Gaming only becomes a career if you actively make it so. Streaming, applying for a team, looking for sponsors, basically you need to look for a "job" that pays the bills. Just sitting in the cellar and playing games is not a career/job.
Also, there's no better way to motivate people, than to berate and belittle them, right?
I mean seriously, does this person really think anyone will go "Well, I was living comfortably in my mom's basement playing video games all day, but your advertisement has opened my eyes so now I want to be a good worker, because life is for working, not for fun". 😂
Whether they know it or not, it's not an employee they need, rather they need to feel superior to someone.
Pretty sure it's been a career since what? 2010 or so?
It is really sad that teachers do one of the most important and difficult jobs while being paid so little.
And also the fact that teachers can get hit or even bitten by kids and the kid the majority of the time receives no repercussions
All essential service providers are exploited.
it is also a fact that teachers can ruin kid's life(future) career just because they do not like that kid and get away with it.
This situation is bad also here in Italy, especially the south (the poorer part of the country, where I live)
"Working in a fast pace environment" means that you won't know what you're doing from one minute to the next and we'll change the goalposts with no notice.
"Must be able to work under own initiative or under the instruction of others" means you'll be given no guidance whatsoever by your manager but told off when you don't do what they never told you they expected.
"Competitive salary" means the salary is technically legal.
"Computer literate" means they have no idea what we actually want you to do with computers, it might be the ability to write a word document, possibly to produce a pretty spreadsheet or maybe you'll be taking computers apart and putting them back together again.
"Must be a team player" means you'll have you take the blame for things that weren't your fault
"Must be flexible" means... Who knows? Available 24/7 for on call yoga?
Drop the yoga part on that last one, and you'll be more accurate.
As someone who spent approximately two years sending in 2 to 4 applications in a week during my high-school years, I would have honestly appreciated emails saying I was rejected for a position because only ONCE did I ever get a reply from any of those attempts.
Honestly same. I’m filling out apps as I’m working a job that no longer serves me, and I appreciate companies that send back saying I was rejected for a position cause then I don’t have to worry about educating myself for the job or company, because they always ask that question. Now the problem I run into is when companies tell me we have other applicants to interview we’ll call you around this date if you got the job, even if you don’t get the job then we’ll call and they never proceed to call. Like just fucking tell me I didn’t get the job so I can get my closure instead of hoping I got the job. I will profusely thank a company for being that transparent, as to tell me I didn’t get the job rather than internally know through a bullshit(trying to let an applicant down easy) excuse.
I would be strongly tempted to say "If I'm getting paid in 'exposure' then I'll just work naked."
The more "exposure" the better, right?😆

One of my courses in uni was Human Resource Management. It taught so many views, methods and plans to increase employee satisfaction/motivation. The last chapter was about how all the things in previous chapters have terrible success rates in practice because executives keep forgetting that before even thinking about using these methods, the employee has to already be at their own standard of living. The exam was basically us criticizing all the usual lines the companies use to wiesel their way out of paying more. I had a field day with "we're a family". One of my favorite courses for sure.
"And you don't pay your family" sir. Sir Cliccy. There are days when I would pay my family to just leave me alone. There have been years where I would pay my brothers to stop being annoying for 5 damn minutes while I played videogames. Parents pay their children to do chores when they get old enough to realize they can question authority.
That’s such a good idea, I’m going to pay my brothers to be quiet :-)
He was being sarcastic about the endless places that say "we're a family" to try to guilt their workers into staying for poor wages and working environments. Because you don't "abandon" your family.
You're blessed that you think that's a general thing parents do. A lot don't pay their kids even when their grown adults doing them huge favors.
I tend to see the people who complain that nobody wants to work. Tend to be the people who drive workers away. Especially in retail and fast food.
Truth.
"Nobody wants to work!"
No. Nobody wants to work *_for you_* , dumbass.
Honestly though, them saying "no one wants to work" is just a fancy way of saying "I'm an abusive boss who will expect you to be a doormat, and be outraged if you act like you're a human being who deserves basic rights."
When people say that I want to respond with "no, nobody want to work *for you*"
The "bragging about record profit while telling employees the company can't afford to pay more" situation happened to me just the other day. My boss was congratulating us because we already beat all expectations for the year and right after that told us we wouldn't be getting xmas bonuses this year because the company can't afford it. It was really weird lol
Also, I know exactly what sponsor you were talking about Click, I remember you talking about it on your podcast.
After watching the entire video, all of these were way too relatable and now I want to go cry in a corner, thx Click lol
It reminds me of an old construction job i was in. They also had a great profit. They made a meeting congratulating us on the work, the key part that never got out my head was that they told us to work harder. There was an awkward silence. In those times, I was aware of some foreman already working for them with 10 plus years. Winning a dollar or two more than the new employees. I even knew a guy who couldn’t walk well because of an injury from that work. When Christmas came, i was told that they got less bonus than last year, i had a few months so I wasn’t aware . For me $100 US dollars was great but they told me they gotten double or more than that. I then knew that the boss went on vacation for a month and that’s when i first started to feel salty about them.
I keep pushing my favourite question that I conjured up on my own during an interview: Ask the interviewers why they chose to switch over to the company. This is always a gold mine that tells you why they were convinced then, what they think now, etc.
That story about the worker not smiling reminds me of the time one of my bosses scolded me for not looking happy while I was /sweeping/ the floor. Like wow, what riveting activity! Such fun :)
Frankly, I’d be suuuuuuper unsettled if I went somewhere and someone was just ear-to-ear smiling while quietly sweeping the floor…
10:16 the worst part of this isn’t just they hyped something up just for it to just be pizza, it’s that they laid off what seems to be this worker’s accommodation to ease working there. they’re making their job hell, and thinking pizza is enough to make up for it. just treat your employees well.
"But if we don't exploit our employees we won't make money" that's all anything a corporation does is about THEIR pockets they screw you over leave find a new job don't stay because you need the money because that's only a surefire way to be miserable
the kids table is absolutely where it's at. As soon as outgrowing it, I started volunteering to look after the smaller kids. (anything to avoid the grownup conversations, I reckon ;)
My family combined kids and adults for holiday meals- dining table got several extensions, all sorts of chairs pulled from around the house. It was almost an adult-child-adult pattern. This was for helping us kids with passing the heavy dishes at first, but we stuck with it- there was traditional seating that only got slight adjustments. Although some adult conversations happened, kids were allowed (even encouraged) to participate and the adults also encouraged the kids to choose topics, with the kids leading most of the discussion (sometimes science, something we wanted to learn more about, books and movies, games, hobbies, etc). So we had the best of both worlds. The boring “grownup” conversations weren’t during eating, so the “kids” (even when most of us were teens) would leave to play games for a couple hours before returning for dessert. Now, the youngest is over 21, and we have the “kids” end and the “older generations” end, because we tend to have different conversations, but the entire table does join in on topics from both ends. We had a short story time where someone read “Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?” last time for nostalgia and to introduce SOs to our favorite childhood books. 😂
Unfortunately for me, the kids table only really had like 6 people vs. the adults' probably 15 or so. My siblings and I and then 3/4 of our cousins that were our age (Well most were closer to my brother's age so I'm still the oldest of all of them). The other one, never shows up since her family is usually out travelling somewhere else.
Those managers giving their employees pizza reminds me of my boss organising us lunch so we won't go to the grocery store during the early waves of covid. I asked for a glutenfree option.
My "glutenfree" option was a cereal bar. I ignored the rule of not going to the grocery store rather than eating something I'm allergic to
You know, i do volunteering sometimes and THAT'S the thing where free pizza may be a bonus. You did hard work on your own will, you helped other people or animals or whatever and get free food as a bonus.
P.S. i got better treatment working for free than some of the poor guys in this video working for money
Ask for a raise after a few months of doing that. They will definitely still treat you the same.
Well, of course you'd be treated better working for free. If you weren't, they wouldn't be able to find any volunteers. Companies get workers by paying them enough to ensure harsh working environments.
Whenever I hear about how little money teachers make, I always think of the first episode of Mystery Incorporated, where Daphne says "But you're a teacher! Why do you need money?" And the guy just stares, and the entire gang is like "Oh, yeah."
My mom was a teacher and I watched her doing so much work at home all the time and always having to buy her own supplies and dealing with drama on top of never having air conditioning, I decided that job was definitely out of the picture for me. Teachers definitely aren't compensated well enough for the amount of effort and time they have to put into their job.
Work burnout around the holidays is super common. I asked for a couple days off after black Friday to rest and relax. You know, after one of the most stressful work days in the USA. Well my boss said no, and showed me a print out from his boss explaining: "There will be no time off from Nov 21st through January 1st. All employee requests for time off will be automatically denied during this time. The holiday season is busy and we need all hands on deck." So my reply to this was. Ok, guess I am just quitting then. Good luck this holiday season. When I told my co-workers about this, I got 3 others to quit with me. All of us were complaining they needed to raise our pay. So maybe loosing half their staff (Small liquor store, not a lot of employees) the day before thanksgiving will show them they can't get away with treating us like shit.
If I was an employer, I would give employees unlimited, unpaid time off. To incentivise working in peak periods, I would pay workers more during that time.
If only min. wage laws didn't get in the way. They make it illegal to pay workers what they're worth during off-peak periods, so to compensate, employers pay workers less than what they're worth during peak periods and require them to work in peak periods so it averages out.
"The future is bright!" At 33:57 really was the highlight of this whole video. Said in a joking manner, big smile to present the line yet the pain and sarcasm underneath was powerful.

The one at 17:23 is literally me. My uncle got so mad last year because my cousin (male) chose to put on nail polish. I’ve been talking to them for years to do what they want and ignore what other people tell them, so seeing him breaking gender norms like a total king made me a bit proud.
That is awesome
I spent over a year working at a McDonalds in the US. I was threatened with physical violence, including multiple threats on my life, was stalked by customers multiple times and had to endure a solid forty-five minutes of verbal abuse and belittling by a customer who told me "my name was fake, made up and my parents were stupid for naming me such a dumb thing" and then getting mad when I didn't agree with him.
Since then, I've worked with lots of folks from many walks of life, but have never been treated worse, anywhere.
Works be like: Hey we may underpay you, make you overwork/do work home during weekends, force you to attend work parties (that no one enjoys) in your free time, call you in when you're on vacation or sick, but look, we bought a new coffee machine! :D We are so awesome, right?
That why we have unions, to put a stop to that kind of abuse. Not a big fan of them, but like government a union is a necessary evil.
31:46 yes, it is, and that's actually, genuinely how I found out I had a burnout. If you're hoping to catch a potentially long-term illness just so you can have a break from work, you are really not doing okay.

Especially considering the fact that those people treat employees like they aren't really human beings and will go as far as physical attacks such as throwing their burning hot food/drinks on the worker if they don't get what they want. Dealing with people like that is a hazard.

20:15 I kinda feel him. My highschool councilor kept having meetings with my parents, telling them that I was mean to my classmates (which got me grounded a lot). It turned out they told her that I was a bitch because I didn't talk nor smile that much during class. Thankfully, she was fired.
People lie all the time. If your parents believed that counselor over you, then they are the Karens.
I'm basically unemployable because of "gaps in my resume" because I was caring for my mother who had a stroke. I've been in interviews where I can see the light in their eyes turn off when I tell them I was caring for a family member and not spending that time doing like 50 unpaid volunteer positions because that's the only time that unemployment is justified to them
That sucks God every fucking company sucks ass
Caring for mother who had a stroke can be turned into volunteering with assisting seniors with medical needs and being assigned one patient in particular due to specialized knowledge of their particular needs.
If they ask for specifics, that's confidential information about a third party you may not share.
Not a single lie here, but it looks better and the privacy aspect stops them from digging deeper.
@@Jacqueline_Thijsen huh ... I never considered that.
@EverTheFractal 90% of corporate speak comes down to fluffing stuff up with the aid of a thesaurus and some strategic forgetfulness when describing what you do.

I hope you have found something since last year. If not, I hope this helps.

Forcing yourself to work more will actually stop you from feeling burnout! ... By overexerting yourself. You know how people who are seriously depressed don't feel sad, just numb? Or how when you're so tired you feel awake? It's like that. Don't do it
Basically you just postpone the burnout by burying it and then it eats away at you from the inside and is at least 2x worse than it was to begin with.

As someone who is unemployed because of disability, I would definitely take the 2x pay over getting my dream job. At least I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore, and I wouldn't have to do the work I'm unable to do.
I was laid off two years ago. I was planning on retiring after the unemployment ran out but fortunately or unfortunately I was offered a job doing the same work for literally twice what I was making. So, yeah, thew only reason I am working is cuz I make twice the pay for the same job. I would love to retire but the money is just too damn good. I'm definitely a bit conflicted. My ONLY motivation for working a job is the money. The other stuff is a nice to have (time off, health insurance, dental insurance, sick time, pizza) but really has no bearing on my working.

Work place story:
Let me preface this by saying a store-wide joke is that whenever somebody gets hired here they are selling their soul to XXXX-company.
I am a personal shopper for said company and in the first few months of me working there I had two days off with $12 an hour for 6 hours a day and a 6am-12pm schedule (sometimes 1 or 2 o' clock if we were busy) plus the job was pretty simple. I was comfortable with my position and I loved having that 6 hour work day, it was good for me. Then I switched to nights to catch up on sleep (10-5 / 11-6) but I was still okay with that.
Until recently.
I became an admin recently. And admins manage the room where we put away all the grocery orders, bill people, run out orders to the customers and take phone calls, plus manage the shoppers. It's a hard and overwhelming job where you basically become acting manager of the department when the actual manager isn't there. Anyone can become an admin if they ask to be trained to be one.
Now, A bunch of people quit, our department became way understaffed and upper management refused to work with us about cutting back orders. (For reference a casual day is 50-60 orders maybe even just 40 if we're lucky, leaving plenty of time for night crew to start on tomorrows orders by lets say 1-2:00) For 3 days in a row now we've been overloaded with 80+ orders in a single day with only 1-2 shoppers on the floor and one admin in the room (That admin being me). So far in those 3 days we've had to call over 30 customers to tell them to come tomorrow to get their groceries because we don't have the people to keep up with the demand. And also in those 3 days I've been scheduled 8 hour shifts despite being only part time, my two days became one day with no hope of ever getting it back, I'm constantly being called in to come an hour early to help with the workload, I've not been taking my 30 or 15 minute lunch breaks to compensate for time loss, I have customers calling screaming and yelling at me, I'm getting crap from our HR representative when I want someone to stay to help me in the room, I'm taking out orders, I'm managing the computers, taking calls, answering questions, billing, checking on the shoppers, putting the orders away and so much more all while we're two hours behind and I'm praying we can get today done.
Now you may ask, do you get a raise or compensation for this clearly difficult and higher position?
No. Absolutely not. Whether you are a shopper or admin, the pay is the same. It's just a fancy title with more responsibility attached to it for no extra benefits. Oh, but you get a cute little vest and a slightly different name tag so there's that.
Which is why I plan on quitting that place once Christmas is over. I'm sick of dealing with all that responsibility and grief with no extra benefit to either my paycheck nor my scheduling. I just can't keep up with the insane workload expected of me anymore and anytime I hear someone say they want to work here I immediately tell them no. HR doesn't care, the store owner doesn't care and it does not matter how hard you work yourself over here because your talent and effort will never be recognised. Well it will be in cute little $5 vouchers that my HR rep loves to hand out in troves. Yeah that'll pay for groceries that month, thanks. So will the clearly empty words of encouragement they love to throw around so much.
Basically what happened to my mother.
She is supposed to only be a part time worker but over the decades Management has cut back on staff while the work is the same yet still expecting everything to be done.
Fast forward to today. The work that was once handled by an entire department is now handled by two people. My mother, a "part time" worker, and another women who is only supposed to work for 2 days a week to "fill in".
They are racking up dozens of hours of overtime each month. My mother alone has hundreds of hours of overtime "saved up" at any given time. Used to be way more though. Whenever someone would complain they would get ignored all while they lay off even more people. The same thing is happening company wide. All while the they have record breaking profits
Im not exagerating when I say that corporate is soulless and evil. They wont stop demanding more and giving less until someone kills themselves. Actually, not even then probably.
As someone who also studied and considered education and teaching, I am sad to say I also refuse to work as a teacher because I won't be able to support myself let alone my pets and partner. Sucks man...
Watching some of these makes me miss being able to work. Looking back at these annoyances can make ya feel alive, at the least. Never take time for granted, one day anything can happen.
I've gone years-long periods as an unemployed adult and yeah, it got me so depressed. If money was no longer an issue I'd probably just volunteer at an SPCA or something so I have to keep some kind of routine and responsibility.

My last job was sketchy AF. The company made an illegal policy about how we couldn't discuss pay with coworkers, refused to give us more than 5 paid days off (this included any sick leave/vacation), gave us a bare minimum budget so that we had to use our own money to finish projects, AND one year they closed for the whole week of Christmas, and didn't pay us for the forced week off! I worked there for 3 years, busting my ass, but the absolute last straw was when I (against company policy) asked my coworkers what they were being paid, and learned that the new person was making the same as me, and I was the team lead! I said screw this, put in my notice, and left. About 5 to 8 people followed my lead and left too.
That 3 day unpaid thing is actually illegal in the USA as far as I know
God some of those hit hard. Especially the "Hoping my covid test is positive to get some days of" I usually am a complete shut in that never leaves the house. But I tried SO HARD to get covid and risk my health on getting a few days off of the job i hated so much but needed to survive back then.

The father asked for Pepsi, and I apologized and said we only have Coca-Cola. I was shocked when he aggressively went swiped at me over the counter to grab me. I had to jump back as he attempted to hop over the counter. I was lucky his son held him back and begged him not to hurt me. My manager had to come out and give him a free pass to a showing. I'm still upset he was rewarded for this behaviour.
"We'll pay you in exposure" made me laugh so hard! I hear that all the time with my artwork.
I love people who care more about helping others do stuff than checking boxes. Like doctors in the US who basically tell you what you need to say for the insurance companies to pay for stuff you need, of bosses who effectively tell you when you're asking for too low a salary, or my boss who knows that the 1 hour meetings are paid for the 1 hour even when they don't run the whole hour and will tell the paycheck people to pay up even though my timesheet says I only did 45 minutes. Sometimes, people need to realize that their job isn't to be a robot or a line of code
12:44 Assuming you get weekends off (which with that company you probably don't) that equates to up to 20 hour shifts. With weekends, shifts are 14 hours long. That is insanity.
15:57 Yes! Very much so! If that company even has an HR/recruiting department they should fire them! They could likely get in deep trouble for just posting that!
I'm not sure if the laws about job postings are as strict as laws about housing ads, but I know that *prior to hiring*, you cannot ask a candidate:
- Where they were born
- How old they are
- If they've changed their name
- What high school they went to
- Their parents' names
- What country they're a citizen of.
Or any other thing that tells you their ethnic/cultural background, religion, age or national origin.
Saying you want to hire someone whose grandparents were born in the US is like a discrimination lawyer's dream. You're not even allowed to ask if someone was born in the US themselves!
Fun interview experience: I once went on a BK interview. I came in at 8 am and was told to sit in one of the booths and that someone would be with me shortly. After 20 minutes I was getting a bit annoyed so I went back to the counter to kindly remind them that I was there. I was sent back to wait. After another 20 something minutes someone finally came to interview me (mind you, the restaurant was EMPTY, there was literally just one person who came in to order something). The interview itself went fine and they said that they'd get back to me. They ghosted me afterwards. Jokes on them, that location is looking for "new additions to the team" till this day (so 3ish years later).
