I actually fucking did it! I have amazing co-workers, an amazing supervisor and the owner is amazing. I’ve only been there 4 days, and I’m already a valued person on the team. I’ve gotten nothing but compliments from EVERYONE.
Every time Bossman goes to the store, “hey, do you guys want anything” never asks us to pay, never docks it from our checks. One of my staff sergeants comes in, “hey, Fuckery, have you eaten today?”, I said no, she came back 20 minutes later with 2 AMAZING BBQ pork buns from the best Chinese bakery in the city, and refused to let me pay her back for them.
I don’t get micromanaged, I don’t have anyone breathing down my neck, and I can go outside for a smoke break whenever I want as long as I bring my radio with me so my guards can get in touch with me if need be.
4 days and I’ve essentially taken control of the entire dispatch office because I took to it so fast. Ive never, EVER looked forward to going to work, now I find myself going in on a day off to see my co-workers and shoot the shit with whoever is in the office.
I’m paid fairly, I have benefits immediately, I work on a 4 on, 4 off rotation, 12 hour days, and overtime after 12 hours per day (this is contracted, and legal where I live).
The jobs exist, I wish they weren’t so few and far in between, but they do exist. I’m actually happy to go into work. I get to be me! I don’t have to mask myself, or put on that fake customer service face and voice anymore.
Gah finally.
