you probably don’t remember me..

But I was the one who posted about my local Hooters scheduling only 1 cook on Father's day. After this day I tried to turn my job search into high gear, but after managers walking out and being left to bust ass with 1 other person if I'm lucky, I had no energy after my days to put any time in looking for jobs. I realized that the best way to find a GOOD job was to just leave. I had faith I can always go cook for someone else with full staff for $15/hr, but to put effort into refining resumés, researching companies, and filling out the EXTENSIVE applications most high paying jobs require, I felt I had to quit.

So I did. This is my 13th-14th job since covid and all I want is to just stay somewhere a while. It kills me every time I quit a job. But it felt right, and I had faith.

Today I landed a sales job for a home exterior specialist. commission job, with 2 pay systems. $500 a week and 3% commission, or just 10% commission + bonuses. So if I do JACK SHIT, don't learn how to sell, and just float around, I will be making what hooters paid me (500 a week.) If I work hard, improve, and close 1/3 of my sales… even if every single sale is the minimum price I'll be making 200k a year.

TL,DR: I quit my shitty cook job on a whim with no doubt I'd find something better in this job market. I found something so much better I still don't believe it…
