I recently graduated from university after studying Marketing and I slowly realised during the course that I hate business and most of them are just soulless money-grabbing profiteers. I know this is not particularly an epiphany for this subreddit but it kind of was for me. Studying Marketing really tainted my views of business because I had previously studied Psychology and was ignorant to the business world.
I currently work a minimum wage job at one of these businesses and I heard a discussion in the locker room yesterday discussing a new initiative being planned which will increase the workload for staff and is highly impractical. One of them said “those people just come straight from university and go to head office. They have no idea what it's like working here. They should work here for a month to understand” and I agree. I am one of these people who went to university and will be applying for those types of jobs. I'm only working where I am now as I had no money and needed a job ASAP but I will forever have respect for people working minimum wage at the bottom of the business pyramid. They are my colleagues and I am one of them. The divide between management and staff is shameful and this is just one of the reasons why I hate business.
