Really?

A couple decades ago, I was working as a waiter at a restaurant that just went through a lawsuit for being racist. One day this couple came in and I proceeded to seat them. Every table in the restaurant was cleaned and set properly with the exception of one. I passed them by that table and offered them one of the clean ones. They requested to sit at the dirty table. I asked, "This one?" They replied in the affirmative, whereupon I took by arm and placed in on the table using it as a shovel to clear the table of its mess unto the floor, then said to them, "There you go, folks!" At that point, they started to scream that I was a racist, and it was at this point that I realized they were Afro-Americans. During the fuss, I told the manager to deal with it, and left.

A quick back story: Prior to those guests entering the restaurant, there was a bit of snafu that weighed heavily on my mind that probably contributed to my actions.

Man got balls.


Let me see:

1. Told manager at a business I'd had enough with his stupid rules and lack of decent pay, and said 'I quit', and then I went off.
2. Worked two jobs once, and had to stay in the first a while after having started in the second. Was tired, and ignored a request for a weekend on the first job. Was sacked the following monday from the first job.
3. Worked for a lady that was really sexist and more like a millitary seargent than anything else. Constantly picked on me for minor things. I could do 200 things right, then 1 wrong, and immediately get called to her office for a 'stern' talking. Never got positive feedback for the 99% good stuff I did, only complaints for the 1% negative stuff, which often wasn't that negative in my mind. I told to her face, exactly what all employees said about her behind her back, then I left and didn't come back. Lots of regular customers called me and asked me what was up. No wonder the place had a high turnover.

Bottom line, value your employees, and they want to do their best. Threat them like shit, and expect those with a spine to strike back at you. I understand some people need the money and so on. But in the long run it is not worth it, your self confidence will be suffering, and also your self worth.

No, service. Food service. Picture your favorite fast food, except it's not fast food.

Working at a supermarket would have been much more tolerable in my opinion.

Super market?

Ahaha, everyone has told me that I should have asked. I got promoted to a position that paid $9.75 hourly, but never got to work in the situation where I actually earn that. (Shift Managing)
General manager was a gigantic douche and scheduled me for non shifty shifts. So, that escalated into quitting.

TL;DR     I know. Should've asked.

Because they won't give you a raise unless you ask for it. Last job, I got these stupid penny raises (Part-time job). $0.17, and dumb shit like that.

At my current job (after working there 8 months. Should have asked after 6 months) I told my boss I'd like to talk to him in private. I then ask for a raise, he immediately said he'd give me a 20% raise before I asked for 10-15%. As long as you are outperforming your original work since you first started, you are worthy a raise.

"Is not the laborer worthy of his wages?"

I've worked and quit at a ton of those jobs, congrats on putting another one behind you.  Currently I work in IT and have an awesome boss and I like it almost as much as I could like anything where I had to show up everyday at 6:30am.

jobs are for the weak. cant tell the last time i worked a solid 9-5... but i live rent free so its not as strenuous lol

Well done! Mine is almost as good. I was working drivethrough, got fed up, and tossed the headset into the box of fries. 3 weeks later, they asked me to come back. 

I was a cook at a local diner. I had a group of 20+ come in for lunch without any warning. The owner/manager seemed to have a bad concept of time because 15 minutes after they placed their order she comes back to the kitchen, freaking out, saying they've been waiting over 45 minutes for their food. I told her she was full of shit so she decided to jump on the grill and push me out of the way. Now I've been cooking in restaurants much busier than this one for over 10 years but you never ever ever ever ever push the cook out of the way and insult his work. I threw my apron on the floor and yelled as loud as possible "FUCK THIS SHIT, I'M OUT!!!!" and slammed the door on the way out. I later found out all the customers were like WTF?!?! and she ruined all their lunches. It was the most dramatic exit I've ever made from a job.

Welcome to the 23% club.

Find a job you love to do and do it well.

My job is in I.T. and I love it.

Work is play.

Bitcoin is just icing on the cake because I enjoy economics/trading/and all the technical aspects of bitcoin.

Put in my notice today, and it feels great! It's been a long time coming...

I took a job at a local ice-cream shop 3 years ago to pay bills/save for whatever.

Job was fun, for a while. Boss quit, new boss came in, didn't like new boss as much as old boss....

Never got a raise, got promoted to a position that pays better, only when I work nights.
(I never got scheduled to work nights. Surprise?)

MINIMUM MINIMUM MINIMUM wage, and it never ended.

And, here I am, quitting, and sticking it to the man. Feels good.

Anyone else doing this/Done this/Hate their shitty job?

Bitcoin? Haha.
