Last year i worked for a wholesale supplier “Metro”. Not only was the job not as advertised, but the job interview showed how deeply toxic of a work environment it was. They pretty much reduced me to my salary from the get go without taking a look at who i really am. I was struggling because i ran away from abusive foster parents and had to feed myself. They started messing with me immediately on my first shift. Asking me if i would come on a Saturday “only if i wanted to” as a 6th workday. Obviously i said no and the fun began. Always being followed around by supervisors whom their only job seems to be making their own workers miserable. I decided to become the “quiet kid”. It worked really well and i am really good with staying in composure under weird situations because of said abusive foster parents. Aint my first rodeo, i was born into it. All i thought about was how to get the fuck out and make work as easy as possible for me. I smoked 2 grams before shift and another gram in my lunch break for the whole 6 months i worked there. Im talking dutch imported premium shit. THE QUIET KID WAS BORN. I started noticing how shallow the Supervisors are and also pretty dumb once you figure out their patterns of behaviour. Not only was i flying on the moon while filling up the cheese aisle, i also had great fun fucking around with well placed “sick days” when it got stressful on the jobside. Holiday events and such. Playing stupid to waste said supervisors time. Supervisors being 5 different people covering around 20 workers. In germany, white germans are VERY racist. You dont have blue eyes and blonde hair? You are the go to person for hard labour. I just used everything they threw at me against them and holy shit it was a great joy! I flashed the security cams with my underpants in the electronics department and magically overnight someone had broken into my locker and searched my shit. Obviously knowing the workplace i only had rubbish and stinky work clothes in there. Promised them to show up extra early at 4 am and immediately put in 2 weeks sick. Everytime i felt like i was looked down upon i played into their cards. I acted “Stupid and clumsy” which also was amplified by the heroic amount of weed i smoked everyday. Them having to clean up my mess 🙂 . It really took them half a year to realize what was really going on and by then i had a new job and quit on the spot. Never accept defeat. You have the power in your own hands to do what you want. In the end the 6 Months i worked there i was “sick” for over a month and i never had time pass by so quick. By the time i started to sober up lunch break was well overdue so i was bussin the whole 8 hours from start to finish. I drove to work with my bicycle and the stench was gone by the time i arrived there. It was a hell of a ride and Herr Kraft if you read this, go fuck yourself.
