My weekend ends when I wake up on a Sunday. I start thinking about how I have to wake up early the next day, stuff I need to prepare for tomorrow or the fact I can't enjoy a nice coffee or soda at 6 pm because I can't sleep later. Just small things like this make this day look like a borderline working day for me. Can anyone relate?
10 different positions so far over three weeks. No optimistic responses.
but we literally cant sell anything due to prices. they only cared about the workers of their ethnicity, and let them lounge about like crazy. it was a super tribal environment and im glad to be gone because they were a condescending jerk.
That corporations increasing their prices isn't two fold number one to create profit for executive, number two is to force people back into working two and three jobs.
So, I got promoted a few months ago. I went from a minimum wage position to floor manager within a couple of years. A few unofficial (unpaid) promotions in between. Well. It's been shit. For example, I know for a fact that most of the work can be done sitting down, no problem. And I know how hard it is to stand still in 1 spot for an entire day, entire week. Because I used to do it myself. So, I started out going easy on the people. They were allowed to use chairs, listen to music, have a bottle of water with them, I didn't care as long as the work got done properly. And it did, people were actually happy for once.

If your boss won't pay you what you're worth, check with your large accounts. I worked as an assistant manager for napa auto parts for 4 years, underpaid the whole time. I was damn good at my job, and was only paid $16 an hour (started at $14.25 an hour). When my area director approached me about going into store manager training, I told them I'd agree if I'd be compensated fairly. I asked for what I made at my old job (16.50 per hour), adjusted for inflation, which came to $19.25 an hour. After 2 weeks, he came back and offered me $17.50 an hour. It just so happens one of our top 10 accounts had a parts manager opening. I applied, went in for an interview, and within 18 hours had an offer for $25 an hour with much better health benefits, and I'll never work a weekend…
