Just wanted to post this here to rant about it somewhere. I’m 17, as of about a month ago, and i just drove around with my girlfriend looking for jobs until my parents thought my shift was over. I think they might be pissed at me but i have to tell them i think. I didn’t say a word to anyone and just left. I got so fed up with doing multiple peoples jobs for 8.50 an hour and constantly being cscolded for taking long bathroom breaks. Like the cashier had to take a break and because were understaffed im expected to cashier, which isn’t my job, and i’m the only cashier until they get back. Some people just go fuck off in the warehouse for hours, and most managers just sit at the desk on their phone and complain about me taking my first bathroom break in hours. “it does not take 15 minutes to use the bathroom” like, im sorry did you want me to literally explode on the next customer who asked me for something? didnt think so. Anyways i’m so glad i’m outta that shithole but i know my corporate slave father will say i should’ve just worked harder. I want a job for my own hobbies but damn i can’t just pick up everybody’s slack all the time, get paid nothing, and then do all my school work and get up for school every day. Fuck this shit, the corporations hate you, nothing is ever done for your benefit in this country (USA), and most people know nothing but lies.
The only thing i’ve learned, is to “be the stone that starts the avalanche.”
