If someone pinched my skirt like that at work, not only would I be raising Cain but my husband and my dad would be coming to knock someone out. That’s just plain wrong
Daddy says wanna bet? 😊
@@dontrumpjr2244that is wrong to say as well
@@dontrumpjr2244 creepy.....
@@JyggalagsProtector thats the worst advice ive ever seen in my life.
@@yukiandkanamekuran I’m just saying.
If I remember correctly I think it's illegal for the hospital employer to say "I expect to see you at church' as if the employee gets fired for not being at church it can be considered discrimination based on religion, or at least in the states. I don't know someone who does will probably correct me
Illegal?
@@viliabone1952 The statement implies penalties if you don't go to the managers church
I doubt that statement on its own is illegal. If he said "join my church or you're fired", that would probably be illegal, though.
The person could sue for religious discrimination. Might be tough to win before a Utah jury though
Got hired into a night manager position at a mid-sized chain hotel. First day I ask about insurance and the like "Oh you have to get that privately." Quit on the spot then reported them to the state labor board. I hate thieving management.
My employer expects me to be at his church, but I think it’s understandable since my job is to be a tenor for the church’s choir
Lmaoo you got me in the first half
Same. I was the associate pastor though, so I let it slide
I was a foreign student in Italy and needed to find a job. A friend of mine told me about this company that offered internet services and they were looking for sales people (like the door to door salesman type) so I decided to apply. The interview went super well and I basically started the next week.
On that same day I was supposed to just follow my teacher and see how everything is done and that first day I walked like 20km, something that really hurt because I was supposed to be dressed formally so I went with formal shoes and it turns out that it was formal for everything but walking shoes is a must.
Either way, what burned me on the first day was not the fact that selling door to door implied walking a lot but that most of the customers were grandmas in their 90s who we were essentially fucking over, changing their services to something that was comparatively worse. After several interactions where I saw "my teacher" lie their way into a sale I just thought to myself I didn't want the job.
Once I was back in HQ I got the interview with the manager, got scared or something and didn't tell them anything, just that it was good and so on. Later that night I sent a SMS telling him I quit.
Couple weeks later I was working as a barista, much better experience to be honest.
12:12 Wow, that manager was the complete opposite type of idiot to a company I once applied to: I was literally the *only applicant* to the opening they had, and they told me that was somehow the exact reason I *wasn't* hired - I still don't understand their logic. I think they were wanted at least 2 people or something like that (it was a trainee/apprenticeship role), but, "No one else applied, so we're not hiring anyone," is still the most baffling response I've ever had to a job application.
They want ppl to compare. It's like when you buy a very expensive house but never look at another one and price to compare it. It is just a huge decision and you rather dont want to make a decision than a bad one.
If you were really really good, they would have still taken you. But if you are around average, its not optimal.
@@benhelius4204 Did you just compare choosing new employees to choosing a new house? How are those things in any way related
@@razztastic Financial decisions are financial decisions.
Trainee/apprenticeship means you're expected to be there for some time.
A house you plan on living in will usually be for some time.
Is it the best analogy? No.
Is it an understandable one? Yes.
Could I think of a better analogy than that guy atm? Also no.
I worked one day in a deli. I didn't want to work in that section but they said it was the only section available. The only instructions I had were a few videos on a computer. I can't learn that way so I was pretty lost. Long story short I was drowning in so much work, had to identify dozens of meats and cheeses I knew nothing about. And the kicker was when I was expected to clean one of the machines. The saws were so silent that I couldn't tell when they were running. I forgot to check the switches, reached in, and got my finger sliced. Not deep enough to be an emergency but I bled everywhere. I went home and cried like a big baby. I quit the next day. Shortest job I ever had 😢
I hope you sued their asses!!
This just makes you sound incompetent tbh. Of course your supposed to clean the machines in your area and there's always a way to tell if something is on or off. I also work in a deli and it's the easiest job I've ever had
This is why I tip cashiers personally instead of putting it in the jar, crooked owners like that
Making a retail employee clean up feces without proper training and PPE is not only wrong, it's against the law. Huge OSHA violation. When something like that occurs they're supposed to either have somebody trained in hazardous waste cleanup on staff or call a company that can come and clean up and sanitize the entire area. I have gotten 2 different stores shut down for a week and incured massive fines for trying to make me clean shit covered bathroom. If that happens to you, take a picture, call your state labor department, OSHA or your local health department and report it. Do NOT clean up shit covered anything. Leave.
That part about the pie being dropped? Yeah after I quit I'm immediately calling the health department that shit can't be allowed to fly
I once went to a job interview for a backoffice sales position. Instead of an interview they immediatly put me into a training class that was obviously for door to door sales. So after some minutes I raised my hand and asked the person if there is maybe some misunderstanding as I didn't apply for a door to door job. He replied that this is the only training and I should still watch it as otherwise I'd lose my job. I told him I wasn't even hired so he can't fire me and that I wasn't interested in door to door sales and then just left.
In the weeks after that several people from that company kept on calling me to ask if I would still consider doing the door to door job. All obviously low level sales personal. So I assume that the entire company was actually some kind of pyramid scheme where you need to find others and convince them to join in order to rank up to the level where you actually make money with it. Really glad I made the right call leaving that place before getting into anything.
3:00 I also worked for Kirby and it's extremely predatory. They say the vacuum will sell itself but they only targeted older people and younger new house owners. The vacuum is $3,000. They have payments but we get paid less if there is payments. They even had a song they played in the beat up car with no car handles. One of the first lines was something like "Can't afford straight up? You're in luck, we accept credit and payments!" Fuck kirby, the whole company is a scam and I wish them nothing but the worst.
I was #6 in sales in the country at one time. I honestly hated the predatory tactics and the people I worked with were trash.
We all left at the start of the day with our crews. Often, we'd go to locations up to a couple of hours away. If the crew lead (driver) didn't like you, they'd leave without you and you'd be stranded. I was there when the Centria came out. It was a $1,522 vacuum but they'd slap a sticker on the box that was $2,200.
The day I left that job was one of the best days I had that entire year.
Can you pay people like this with literal poo, because that's all they'd be getting out of me?
I bought a Kirby more than 20 years ago...told hubs he has no sales resistance and ordered him up the stairs...I bought it. However, I still have it...who else has a vacuum more that 20 years old? It works great and is sent for cleaning and parts every couple of years...lifetime warranty.
@@theresabrennan8805 That's cool. Is that supposed to mean anything to me?
I once had a free carpet cleaning offer, I didn't know it was for a vacuum, thought it was for steam cleaning. I figured I'd see how they went on 1 room, & then book them for rest of the house, instead this lady started showing me her vacuum, & the filters after vacuuming my lounge room, & my bed. That's when I discovered I was very wrong about why she was there.
Poor lady, I felt so bad that I wasted her time, but not bad enough to pay the scary price.
Honestly, I only wanted to start working at Petco so I can get the experience I need to become a vet assistant (which I eventually want to do). It wasn't on my first day, but during my first week without having a job coach. I wanted to quit because of my social anxiety (I even threw up in the trash can in the break room because of it), but after that day, I just kept going because I unfortunately have student loans to pay.
Bro it’s just petco

Want a promotion? Break out the lotion!
Social anxiety is absolutely a hellish condition that is always misunderstood. Proud of you for chugging along, but don't push yourself too much.
Maybe retail isn’t the best choice with an anxiety disorder. Have you considered doing more backstage work, like stocking or even remote work like customer support? Also, don’t be afraid to check out your insurance coverage for therapy resources.
There was a couple times I got letters for my step dad, who's dead for years, at my one apartment in aurora and the authors of the letters were basically trying to get him to join the latter day saints cult. I talked to a person working at the local nursing home across the street because my friend had been living there at the time and she told me she had dealings with them as well because of the husband entertaining them and had died a little after the start of the interactions. Well, the guys couldn't understand that the husband was dead and were pretty forceful in getting to see him. So she called the cops and one got to her house and was watching the interaction and she asked what she could do with the situation. He suggested that she put a civil suit against them for harassment. It quit after each of the ladies sent one last letter for the step dad and I didn't hear from them afterward. I did get one recently from the latter day saint's cult, a different person, and remembered the interaction with the lady working at the nursing home and the conversation I had with her so I wrote a quick note to the person and said not to contact me again or there would be a civil suit against them. I hadn't heard from them since
My dad was a truck driver. That stuff is all pretty on par with how bad it was. Saw him once every 4-6 weeks. They (almost every trucking company) pressures their drivers to over work and break regulations to save the company time and money while risking their drivers lives and licenses.
I went to work for K-Mart as a cashier. I had been a cashier before for a number of places. So I knew how it worked. They expected me to be responsible for my cash, but they allowed other people to have access to it. I was not even a little bit ok with that. So I quit after my first night on the job, and I explained everything to the HR manager when she called me to find out why I quit after 1 shift. Also, they made me work straightening shelves until the managers finished counting down everyone’s registers which was beyond stupid. I took the job to make extra money to fill in for the money I was missing due to my roommate moving out that I needed due to being a teacher. I had no interest in working later than I needed to on school nights because my managers were slow to count down registers of my coworkers. There were so many things that were just not even close to best practices. And I wasn’t surprised when they started going out of business. 🙄
Uh, don't most places have you wait til all registers' cash drawers are counted? That's to ensure that no money is missing from the tills at the end of the night. I'd assume only places that fully close at night have that policy, and that other stores open 24/7 or are small enough don't. Did you work previously at places like that or?
I could definitely be wrong though. Just that any store I've worked at as a cashier worked that way 🤷♂️
I'm secretly gay 😏 🏳️🌈 🍆
shout out to that one person in the minecraft parkour with the bi flag on their sleeve!!
I quit as soon as I accepted the job. I finished with the job interview with HR and I got the job and we went to see the manger and with in 5 minutes. I'm like, I'm not working for you as you're an a-hole.
went in for an interview with a school bus company. they tried hiring me on the spot without the needed license and said I could train on the go and expected me to quit my current job and start immediately. i kept getting calls for training and noped out of that. and these people still run the same company, and had an issue with my own kids pickup where the driver didn't even know how to use the radio.
I was thrown on the drive through line first day, without any training, expected to know how to make _everything,_ shouted at incessantly for needing instruction, ETC.
Had a panic attack the next morning as everything settled in, called in to say I wouldn't be coming back, and had panic attacks every time I saw the brand for several months afterwards and still get hightened heartrate when said brand is mentioned years later.
Okay drama queen. I’m glad you haven’t actually had to suffer in life😂
Manager: You have to pay me for training.
Me: Go to hell. Bye.
Got a job working at a burger king, and I think it's going to be the regular fast food hell but a job is a job. Upon showing up, the manager who did not have a shirt for me, gets mad that I'm not dressed and even madder when i remind her that this is literally my first day. Almost immediately after, I hear her assistant manager start spewing the most hateful, horrible homophobic things in the world and when I confront him on it, he literally looks me in the eye and calls me an F-slur. I flip them all the bird, leave, and immediately report for discrimination and harassment. That location was shut down a week later because apparently, they had done this to several new hires. No wonder I got the job so fast.
"F-slur" lol? Why are you making me say the word in my head now?
I quit a job on the first day once because instead of getting an assisting position working on a renovation project (as was agreed on beforehand), I was suddenly told that I would be doing everything myself. Once I explained that this was not the kind of work I had agreed to, they tried to find another guy from one of their other ongoing projects but eventually couldn't get anyone. So then I just told them that since they don't have the job they promised and my low work experience definitely isn't enough to take on so much responsibility, I dropped it.
Later I learned that I wasn't qualified for unemployment checks for a few months after because I had apparently refused to work "without a valid reason", even after showing the contract. Damn bureaucrats.
Story #2 Pretty much all of that story was illegal if it was in the US. Pay to be trained, illegal. Management that doesn't assist a tipped employee with their tasks taking a cut, illegal. Also $4.50 was likely under minimum wage for a tipped position.
Even if management is doing the same tasks as tipped workers, they don't get a cut of the tip pool. They could get individual tips if say a manager had to wait tables (as in directly wait tables, not assist a server with waiting their assigned tables)
It was not my first day on the job, but i climbed a lock walk and told the captain to put my shit off in Memphis. Pointed at first mate and said "that mother fucker is going to get somebody killed" and noped the fuck outta there.
This happened to me when I worked for Kirby. If the customer returns the vacuum the supervisor still keeps their commission check,but you loose yours. That’s why they are so pushy. I didn’t let the elderly lady sign the contract either. I lasted 3 days.
I was employed at a certain golden arch place for 7 minutes. during the interview a customer destroyed one of my buddies for not enough pickles or ketchup or something. I was hired and the manager was getting my uniform. I’m a major introvert, and I don’t care about or like people, i found out in grade and high school I lack sympathy and don’t care about peoples feelings …my buddy said the manager said it looked like I teleported out of there. He turned his head and I was gone. I work in an industrial CT lab alone.
I have one for this!
A few months ago I applied at chipotle did all the paperwork and all the training videos, the next day me and my bf got in a rollover car wreck going about 50 mph and had to go to the ER. I told them per doctors orders I needed at least a week. Two days later they called because I was “missing my shift” then the manager preceded to ghost me when I reminded her of the doctors note, I obvi never showed back up and was grossed out that they would do that. No way in hell I was DRIVING into work two days if that after rolling a truck and having to be pulled out of my seatbelt that I was hanging from sideways and climb out the passenger window lol
Part-time job at a cookie factory as a temp. 12 hour shift. 10 hours in, after repetitive nagging from my supervisor (who was mostly absent on our post, so I took some side gigs from other teams to either deliver ingredients, help with packing up for shipping, carrying stuff between sections), increasing back pain due to amount of carrying and walking (that warehouse was huge and there was almost no tools to carry things around on my post), but also learning that this absent/angry boss is the nice one and the assigned supervisor for next few weaks would be far worse than that, I quit 10 minutes before the end of my shift. Called the temp agency right after, spent a full showering and then a full day in bed, haunted both by the back pain and that overpowering smell of cookies.
I got a job working at a custom photo lab. I was told to do some prints in the dark room. Boss comes in to check my work...ok, I've been doing this for over 20 years, but fine. He grudgingly approved my work, and I keep doing my job. Now, the boss's wife, who also worked there, said goodbye at end of day, and as she is doing that, I can hear the boss yelling in the next room. Everyone was acting like it was a normal thing. I had to work for another 20 minutes, in the darkroom, while I can still hear him yelling in the next room. I thought he was yelling at someone, but when I left, I had to pass by the room he was in, and he was alone, just putting stuff away, and yelling. SO WEIRD. I left and didn't say goodbye. Went home and told my husband. About an hour later, the boss called and I told my husband to tell him I quit. He begged and begged for me to come to the phone, but no. Wild.
eb games was once in US but got bought out by GameStop
My daughter quit her accounting job because the company had prayer meetings before work. She was shocked to be told she needed to accept this practice and resigned by cell phone at lunch the first day.
The last story though… I should have known it was GameStop! That story is so on brand for that company and management! I was a supervisor there for some time. We’ve had to deal with some of the most out of pocket, strung out shenanigans you could and could not think of. I’m so glad I got out of there when I did and for anyone who still works there, hang in there!
I was hired for a position that paid more.
Until I showed up, suddenly I was doing the lowest paying position in the company.... quit on the spot.
Sued as well and yes, they lost.
2:30 I feel a decimal would have been good. "450 an hour??? oh, 4.50"
As an American, I can confirm that EB Games did have locations here in the U.S.
In fact, I worked at a Game Stop for a few months in a mall that also had an EB Games in it. It was a pretty boring job, lots of alphabetizing shelves, in my case, there were some bonuses, like access to some of the leftover promotional stuff, but other than that, it was a pretty boring place to work.
I quit a job where you had to bluff your way to company presidents etc to sell ballet tickets and/or talk people who had just seen a ballet into donating. I walked in, watched the people who worked there get reamed out for sucking and then my first two calls were like "no" and I didn't push because I'm not that sort of person. I got up and left.
My current job actually pays you for the training. You actually have to “clock in” for the training and they pay you for it IN FULL. If you’re there for 8h, you get paid for 8h. If you go to 2 training sessions, you’re paid for 2 training sessions.
The training sucks though. Because it’s classroom style. You sit in a seat and take notes.
I worked 2 hours at a wendys. The day after I applied I was asked to come in and was instantly hired with no interview because I had previous training at a wendys in a different state. I got there, no one wore their uniforms correctly, food was being touched without gloves, the entire place was highly mismanaged and there were flies EVERYWHERE I got my things and said hey basically it’s a no from me and the manager said I understood why. I later found out shortly after it was shut down temporarily and almost everyone was let go due to health hazards
Oh man, Kirby vacuums take me back. I think I got sucked into a attempt to sell them and I remember trying to sell them to my parents and maybe an aunt and it didn't go over too well. I was young and didn't know any better and thoughts I could make a lot of money selling vacuum cleaners from them. I look back now and it's hilarious.
a few years ago, a morman couple moved in next to my house and invited my parents over for coffee. it was instead an attempt to make us morman. we are mennonite and my dad (at the time) was a pastor. my parents immediately left.
my mom had a story kind of like this (although she quit after 2 weeks instead of 1 day). she got a really well paying job in her field with a really small company, and it turns out she was only hired so that the owners could get her signature on a bunch of documents since she has really high licensure. what they were doing with said signatures was illegal (I don't remember what the full details were), so she put in her 2 weeks notice (she ended up staying for a little longer so she didn't screw over her coworkers who were actually there to do a job)
funnily enough, another company doing the exact same thing got busted and their leadership team got arrested right around the same time my mom left that job. if she had stayed and the same had happened to that company, she would have lost her license and probably would have spent some time in jail
Story 18: As soon as the manager said it was an alarm company cold-calling position, the alarm bells started ringing for OP, I'm sure.
My sister and I did a cross country road trip and stayed at the cheapest places we could find. We weren’t “lost tourists” but we did cheap out so much that we felt somewhat unsafe. We had to pay a “deposit” on a room on the off chance we damaged it. There was no toilet paper and creeps everywhere. In hindsight, it wasn’t so smart for 2 young women but we were being cost efficient
I got a job at a car wash. The other guys there were stealing stuff out of the cars. Loose change, CDs, a flashlight…
I told the manager at the end of the day. He told me to, ‘Worry about myself’. I never went back.
Story 1: it’s not petty. It’s the principle. And if they do this, they probably steal their regular employees hours as well. Speaking from experience
I quit a job at a preschool at lunch break because 1) the manager never told anyone that I was starting that day. 2) had to wait an hour for manager to get there 3) no one there knew what room I was in
I quit a job on the second day. Still on orientation and I was shadowing some guy that got told off by a supervisor for quite literally nothing
It’s pronounced “rah-lee”. “ray-lee” is a kind of light scattering and it’s part of what makes the sky blue.
Found out the salaried marketing manager position was in fact a commission based sales job that involved me climbing into my own car using my own fuel selling dollar store crap out of a tote bag to employees at random businesses. So about an hour into my first day shadowing one of their 'marketing managers' I asked him , if the business is taking 80% cut of my sales , what exactly prevents me from going to the local wholesale , buying all this stuff and selling it for myself ? It took him a while but he answered that the CEO might take legal action, I answered 'on what grounds ? I am gonna drop you off at the office and go now.' , We rode back in uncomfortable silence , I made up some stuff about an emergency at the university where I was studying part time and never came back.
I did a day at macdonalds, the staff at this branch were horrible to me, didnt show me anything or help me, i had custmers shouting at me and still no help, i never went back one of the worst experiences of my life
Ive been working at greggs for 2 years and yesterday i quit after 6 months of dealing with an abusive manager. The weight that came off my shoulders feels amazing
I got hit by these Kirby salesmen before . They came to my apartment at like 9pm and it was two 12-15 year old kids saying their boss wouldn’t let them go home until they cleaned one more carpet . Those bastards are the worst
Last I heard it was illegal for managers/ employers to keep tips. That's just dirty
Lol the staff displayed bully behavior😂 I was like damn yall couldn't even pretend for a week?
Applied for a job when i was 21 that was vague in job description, but said it had a "rock n' roll" atmosphere. Turns out the rock n roll atmosphere was that the boss had a guitar in his office and the job was solictiing businesses to sell crappy artwork. I told the guy they had "training" me around lunch time that it wasn't for me. He got mad and said he'd have to waste his lunch taking me back. I offered to walk/get a cab, but he drove me anyways. Door to door sales. No thanks.
Edit- this seems to be a common theme lol. Maybe mine said "marketing" as well. I don't remember. It was 22 years ago.
I am unable to precisely identify the specific reason, but I can provide a description: it feels like my energy’s dry around it, feels like I’m mentally sleepy (metaphorically). If ever I wanted to be satisfied I got the job, it’s all going to be forced, even in the presence of a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, there were no concerns pertaining to the individuals in the vicinity. As I said, I can’t point my finger on where exactly the reason came from why I felt like to seek somewhere else.
I was training to be a waitress. The store cut down on sanitary workers. You don't wear gloves when taking out the trash. The same hands that touched leaky bags of diner trash also touched customers' plates and cups without having the time to wash in between.
I didn't just walk out of Frisch's. I straight up vowed to never eat in them ever again. The drive thru's okay, though. They operate similar to other fast food places, and no one who's touched trash is touching your food there.
I showed up on time at 9am and my boss wasn’t there yet so some employees found me a desk and told me to go through their website to familiarize myself with the company while I wait for my boss to give me projects and show me the ropes. I waited and waited. He never showed up. Around 1 pm I got fed up and wrote on a sticky note “So unprofessional” and walked out. Never went back and they never called me back. Good riddance, a waste of time. I never received pay for my time either but I’m glad I dodged that bullet.
I have two. I was hired at Flower World in New Jersey back in the late 90’s. The supervisor yelled at one of the older ladies who takes over the phone orders for flower arrangements so bad she cried. I was only a teenager at the time and that scared the hell out of me. I was so scared I went back to pick up my one day check with my dad. I never even bothered to cash it. The second one was telemarketing. I called someone for a credit card offer and they immediately hung up on me. I was so shocked that someone could be so rude. 😂 I decided this wasn’t for me and left.
Sorry to say so, but I always hang up immediatly once I find out whoever calls me is telemarketing. If I want to buy stuff I call, if somebody calls me, I won't buy. By hanging up immediatly I save myself that stupid discussion about why I don't want to buy and how I am making a bad decision blablabla etc. I don't concider myself rude for that. I concider those telemarketing companies rude for stealing my time with that crap.
Imagine calling someone rude for hanging up on an obvious telemarketing scam. No, you're the rude one for even taking that job.
I did package delivery for Amazon one day next day my feet were pulsating after walking 30 city blocks in a day and up and down stairs . I quit started an online business and that was it
Kirby salesmen are real pieces of work! My wife let two into our house in the ‘80s as they promised to shampoo the living room rug for “free”, but once done, my wife couldn’t get rid of them, so she sent them out to me, saying that I controlled the money. I was up on a ladder painting the house, and I didn’t stop while they continued their sales spiel, till eventually they went silent and left.
I worked one day of sanitation in a factory that packaged frozen food products. The machines were large and metal and required a hot pressure washer to clean. Our gear was supposed to be a waterproof set of pants and coat. I did not receive a waterproof top. Pressure washing the machinery, I was soaked almost instantly. Since we were packing frozen food, the entire factory was kept at 34 degrees F. The shift was supposed to be 10 hours and my trainer and only other sanitation worker did not speak English. He completely vanished at the end of the shift. I was pretty lost, not knowing where he went, the next shift supervisor caught up to me. He told me the shift ended 30 minutes ago. I finished what I was doing and left. Unsurprising, I caught Pneumonia. I called in the first morning and they seemed to not care so I just didn't call in the day after.
I applied for a job, got interviewed and employer told me what my job would be, when I get there I’m doing everything but what was my job description and nothing that was, and this happens every time I’ve gotten a job.
2:40 50 dollar of training for a job that pays 450 dollars per hour? That is an insane salary.
got a job at a cell phone kiosk. day #1 - the other employees (all commission) were SO mean to me that i never came back after my lunch break. lol.
I know we used to have EB Games (originally called Electronics Boutique) in the US, but I haven't seen them in years.
It was supposed to be my first day. High school, junior year. I got a job at Burger King. Was so not wanting to work there. I could see the dead end ahead. Soul sucking work.
I stood outside the front door for a few minutes. The manager came out.
"I'm sorry. I can't do this. I can't work here."
I left and never went back.
Ended up with a job at the best pizza place in town later that week.
Thank God I never took that BK job.
I only lasted 4 days at a job because they completely misrepresented what the job was and I spend all day doing nothing. Then at 5:00 pm, all the stuff I was supposed to edit came in and I was expected to stay late to do it. I went back to the job I left for that one, so I just called them on day 5 and said I’m not coming in.
Mine was where I got hired as a donation collection person, where my compensation was tied to my ability to essentially scam people out of money. I and a partner would wait at the exit of a grocery store asking for donation to something. The reason I say scam cause my partner and I took a cut, our manager took a cut, and then our boss took a cut as well: each taking a progessively greater cut. The money actually going to this charity was pennies on the dollar.
What's worse, was I would need to be on my feet, 10 hours a day, Mon-Sat, for around 5 bucks an hour (this was back in like 2017), with no benefits at all or over time.
Over full time hours, for below minimum wage, no benefits, and I was doing more social harm then good: abso-fucking-lutely not.
Not petty at all, stand up for yourself
As a Christian, if my employer (heck, even anyone) randomly, out of nowhere, said "I expect to see you at my church on Sunday", I would consider that a neon red flag on fire. I already have a church I love, and if my job is far away enough from said church that I need to find a new one, I will be finding the new one *on my own.*
I was upset when an insurance job I was app,using for wanted me to pay 250 for a license,
Unless there’s a guarantee I’d get the job or the company pays for the license regardless of if they hire me…that sounds bloody ridiculous.
Story #1
AS YOU SHOULD! THATS BALLSY!
That kirby vaccum salesmen story is true i worked for them for a week & quit because they kept pushing me too sell too a older women but told me too tell her it was lower than it was actually was & i think they would "lock" her in the sale so she wouldn't have no choice. I hated that job plus never got paid when it said "youll get paid even if you dont sell anything " & Yes i live in North Carolina!
I got hired for a job doing I can't remember what... On the first day of training its revealed we're actually going to be a traveling team selling cologne door to door!
Other first day quit was Directv tech support. Id previously worked there when it was a 3rd party contractor... 4 years later on the tour I see the exact same people and gear a guy telling an old woman how to program a remote. Left at the break.
Also quit Kirby on day 1, what a terrible business model for a genuinely good product.
First day at hungry jacks (burger king), below minimum wage, manager called me an idiot and told me if i was smart i wouldn't be making $5 an hour to make burgers. I threw a mop at him
The shortest job I ever had was half a day back in 2013. It was a small company and the boss took me to another floor for lunch. At lunch he proceeded to bring up politics and spoke poorly about gay people...which I am. After lunch I said I needed to hit the restroom and I left. Called the temp agency back and told them the situation and that I wouldn't be returning. They told me after they'd been having a hard time filling that position...ya think?!
Story 15: I guarantee they didn't hire too many people, they just bait and switched OP
I hate sales job.. always so sneaky. The ones at the top have to go against the rules, but it’s ignored because conversion demands are being met. For ex - Had a job where people called to register an item, sometimes 4-5 items per person… here’s the catch, I get paid if I SELL on each item. So after their registration, if I don’t get 4-5 sales from that person, that’s basically 4-5 people counting against my conversion score. The problem? I HAD TO REGISTER THE ITEMS. The only way to maintain a good conversion is sweet talking your way out of registering all needed items & only registering additional items after you get the first sale (BUT BUT, don’t let them know you’re trying to sell them!). Part 2 of that.. you STILL won’t get paid if they cancel their purchase within 30 days. Tooo many cons.
Worked with a third party company that helped another company that raises money for foster kids going into the system. Seemed nice so I applied. This third companies tactics for trying to "sell backpacks" and the money goes back to the offical company felt shady and they keep pressuring me to be more abrasive and try to guilt trip the public into giving me money for this organization. I had a bad gut feeling so after a week doing it I left. Also, you were paid in PHYSICAL CASH. Like only a handful of jobs still do that. No checks or paying system.. I'm happy now and work as a Substitute Teacher and a Special Needs Avocate Trainer. ❤ Never heard what happened with that company.
It's a really lucrative business model. You set up a non-profit and a for-profit. The non-profit hires the for-profit to fundraise. The non-profit pays 90% of the fundraised money to the for-profit for the fundraising service. The employees and donors are sold on contributing to a good cause, and the top-level rakes it in.
If a job ever asks you to pay for training, walk away. It's a scam.
Local gas station, it was a second job, it seemed like a good job, day I started no employee number owner had me log in on his number. He would not tain me to use the register I applied for a Cashier job. All I did was clean shelves, bathrooms and coolers.
he then starts asking if I wanted to lose weight he could train me, we could work out together. I should lose weight. I was maybe 10 pounds over my ideal weight.
I noped out 2 hours into my shift, when I asked after the 5th time he asked about my weight and working out, when I would get my first check. He informed me it would be 4 weeks as the first 2 weeks while in training I would not be paid.
Called the Labor board on my way out the door.
Kids keep TWO versions of your social media account, 1 plain Jane one under your 'legal' name to 'give' employers & your 'real' 1 under a nick name.
I worked the drive thru at McDonalds for 1 full shift before I quit and picked up my check.
I'm not saying this to flex by any means, but I just can not fucking stand the monotony of standing around all day, surrounded by things I don't care about in the slightest. The people were cool, friendly and sociable, but between the card reader consistently making me look like an idiot because I had to keep getting help for it's malfunctions, and having a whole like 4 feet of total area to move around in, I just couldn't.
I much prefer just doing manual labor because it gives me something to focus on and I'm allowed to actually listen to music to pass the time while I work. My generation will probably call me an idiot for quitting a job where I'm basically paid to stand around counting cash and taking cards all day, but a majority of my generation is also probably content with being soft handed. The way I was raised just doesn't allow me to do nothing if I'm meant to be working.
"he was a mormon" - so he probably wanted to sell you some magic knickers of Turn evil and an enchanted bra of Dispel Dark Magic +3. I seriously wish this wasn't a joke. they LITERALLY claim to have magic underwear that can cast spells to drive away demons and ghosts etc.
game stop ... i miss this shop so much in my city ...
Maybe I'm missing something but regarding that last story, who SHOULD have to deal with it if not the employee?
I don't know about the US but it actually goes against employee health laws since you can get diseases from handling human waste.
I quit mcdonalds after 2 hours. Fuk em that's why! Told me to leave the shirt or no pay. Kept the shirt for the 12 dollars I earned. Told them it was worth it. Got a check for 35 dollars weeks later as well
Was a busser at a restraunt i had to wipe all tables but i wasnt allowed to touch tips only waiters waiters were suposed to give me tips end of day waiter kept $300 and only gave me $7
EB games and game stop were 2 separate companies but they merged and in us we used have eb games locations but after merger in early 2000's bunch eb games locations were rebranded to game stop
I quit a job on day one before. It was counting merchandise in stores. I don't mind the job, it's pretty easy. But it wasn't for me. 1st day on the job after 2 hours of training, I was counting women's clothing. No biggie, accept it was all those little lace shirts that get tangled and are annoying as all fuck. I ended up falling behind because of a certain technique that I was never taught and as soon as the boss had some bull shit to say about me falling behind, I bailed. I understand hard work. I was in the Marines for 13 years as infantry. But I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone chew my ass for their mistake.
Applied for part time cook at KFC..
The cook literally does everything while everyone else just stands there and needs this and needs that.. and you have the fold the chicken like this and do this and do that.. while everyone else just stands there...Yeah about 10 minutes I just left.
Regarding EB Games: They were actually a competitor to GameStop, until they underwent a merger in 2005.
EB Games. Electronic Boutiqure and Gamespot were all separate stores, at least on East Coast.
Gamestop just gobbled up the competion like Pacman.
Welcome to please leave your moral compass at the door, you won't be needing it.
They do dilute themselves into thinking they are doing them a favor. It's like those landlords that kick families out of their shitty houses because "the market" like you can pick your price. Just because market price is 3k for a falling apart house doesn't mean you have to charge that.
Uhhh do you not know how homeownership works? Yes, they have to charge for it if that's what the mortgage is. Are you saying landlords should just lose money because of these "poor families"? I'm sympathetic to people who's rent gets raised and they can no longer afford it. It sucks, welcome to Biden's economy. However, you can't say landlords should lose money at the expensive of someone else (well you can say it, but that's clown behavior).
I was raised in a Mormon family in a Mormon town, and calling the church comment a major red flag was shocking to me. The stalking is super weird and abnormal, but those types of comments about seeing you at church or etc are quite common in Mormon circles. People do keep track of whether you've ever attended church or if you come from a churchgoing family, and they /will/ make sure to bring it up. If your name is on their records, wherever you live, if there is a ward there, the Mormons there will visit your house to ask you about attending church. It is cultish, but that comment on its own isn't the fault of the employer. It's an incredibly normalized topic of conversation in that culture.
I would get that if the employee was also mormon. But otherwise this could be read as "you have to become mormon in order to get the job" and that is just so wrong. I once worked at a place where it was an open secret that you needed to convert to the gms religion in order to be promoted, so I am very cautious about that.
@@achimsinn6189 Yeah no, that's exactly it. Mormons are almost always trying to convert the people around them just because that's what they're told to do by the higher-ups. It's funny to me because it's very much not a problem specific to this one guy, it's a problem with Mormon culture as a whole.
If that's a "cultural" thing keep it in your culture. As an atheist I don't go around telling an employee they are expected to adopt my perspective. In fact I never bring it up in ANY conversation I have, just like I don't ask anyone their religion.
Wells Fargo stagecoach rules. No conversation having to do with Religion, Politics, or Sex should be discussed on the ride. That was to prevent fights and or guns being drawn.
I would have kind words with the manager and promptly walked out. Religion has no place at work.
What had this person been a Jew or Muslim or anything but Mormon? That's just rude and condescending.
@@kebonhawk1081 Sure. Mormonism is a cult, it's not a great culture. I'm strictly atheist myself now, and I agree that religion should be kept out of the workplace, but that's rarely going to be possible in a business where a Mormon is in charge. Growing up in a Mormon town and then leaving the church lost me contact with the vast majority of people in my life because most Mormons won't keep talking to you unless they think they can convert you.

In words from my friends, they've said that tons of interviews here, (NC) have gone wrong in some way for them? Is that- I think that's bad because the amount of places to work in just my small little country side town, is WOW- but its not a bad place to live, and it turns out that all my friends went to the same place unknowingly, and the guy interviewing them was just a jerk that made them do un-paid labor as "training" or hit on them/made them uncomfortable.Soon enough, my sister went there for an interview, there was a different guy there, My sister got hired and turns out the previous guy had gotten . Good riddance if you ask me. :)
