Antiwork

My first job was crammed with fast paced work

I joined a math tutoring place around my senior year of high school. About half of the employees were teenagers so I thought that it would be fun. At first I was only doing training (watching training videos and doing math exercises) and then I was able to start tutoring 2 kids after 5 or so days. That manageable 2 turned into 4 real way too quickly. The problem is that no matter what level of math students you had you would either spend a lot of time grading someone’s work teaching them, or getting them to focus or stop misbehaving. I don’t know how other people were able to deal with 4 kids but I remember that in one particular hour, I graded 58 pages of math worksheets. My boss and coworkers were great but I basically got roped into this machine that required labor that was more intense…

TLDR: I had a high stress job as a math tutor for 4 people at a time getting paid minimum wage.
