I worked retail for nearly five years, it wasn’t too bad, originally I was just supposed to work in the stockroom but was drafted into a customer facing role.
I met some great people and learned social skills, prior to retail work I was quite a shy person, I’m certainly not anymore. Some of the managers were knobs but we always worked things out in the end. On the whole it was a pleasant job, albeit poorly paid. Now minimum wage is so close to truck driver pay I’m tempted to go back.

Nice that you have an understanding boss, I’ve seen people disciplined because they were 5 minutes late, they relied on public transport (which is piss poor in England).

My job is a human misery simulator.
It’s hard to define what I actually do. Offically I’m a “program specialist”. If that sounds vague, that’s because it is.
I am, functionally, in charge of maintaining an entire social work department for a hospital.
Let me tell you, people do not come to the social work department when they are having a good day. And veterans, especially, tend to have very bad days.
Many of our clients are suffering, brutally sometimes, and I’m often the first one they speak with.
It wears on you to see so much suffering, but we do what we can to improve their lives. Even incrimimentally. But I’d be lying if I said that my heart and soul don’t hurt most days when I get home.

In case World War III explodes in the South China Sea side of my country because of China stealing our pieces of islands here, letting you know my sudden inactivity on this site means I may have gotten drafted into war trying to get rid of these half-eyed bullies out here.
I’d be labelled as a hero if I do come back alive.

My first job was being a stocker in retail. A truck would deliver a shipment and we’d unload, sort, and take everything where it was supposed to go. One of the managers hated me for no reason and set me up to fail by having me unload the truck in the amount of time it normally took the whole crew. He then had an extremely condescending meeting with me where he wrote me up and smugly ignored what I said, like the obvious fact that I can’t do the work of six people. All these years later it still makes me angry to think about. I knew the motherfucker would make up an excuse to fire me next, so I quit.
I don’t feel that I’ve learned anything positive from the jobs I’ve had. Sure, I picked up some skills, but in terms of real life wisdom, I’ve only learned negative things. They were important lessons, but the sort that hurt to learn.

For the most part people do not want war, governments and leaders stir shit, but sadly it the regular people who deal with the fallout and conflict.
I once listened to a holocaust survivers interview, he was a prisioner at Auschwitz, one day he reached for a cigarette that a nazi guard discarded, he expected to be beaten but the guard allowed it, the next day the guard dropped a chocolate bar, the guard said to the prisoner “I don’t want to be here either, I didn’t sign up for this.”. Decent people get roped into something evil.
@kleptomage
I’d have audio recorded all his unreasonable demands and allowed him to sack me, then present my evidence at a tribunal; you’d likely get a payout for unfair dismissal and/or workplace discrimination. However I’m not sure you yanks have as much employee rights/protection as we do here.

That’s unfortunate.
Truck drivers have a vital role in the economy. You deserve to be compensated accordingly.
It’s not only truck drivers wages that are shit now, most blue collar wages has stagnated or nosedived, I’ve seen gas engineers, crane operators, roofers, forklift drivers jobs advertised, all with abysmal pay. What’s the point in learning a skill/trade if you’re not going to be paid accordingly?!

The thing I’m most disappointed about is that I’m unlikely to find another job that is 4 on 4 off, it was a fantastic work/life balance, sure the shifts were long but 4 days off was great.

Taking him to court never occurred to me when I was a dumb 18 year old. Probably wouldn’t have gone in my favor if I had. The American legal system is broken and hopelessly corrupt. They don’t even try to hide that there are different laws for the rich and poor anymore.
I hear you about low and stagnant wages. Something has to change.

I wish I wasn’t such a coward and was able to actually tie a rope around my neck
God things in here just went shit downstairs… This is why I wish I was never born in the first fucking place
All their hate and anger is directed towards me. What a wonderful family
Why can’t I just accept it and drink enough pills to die. Why in still alive.

I almost hit a tomboy who is the size of my leg on the supermarket tonight.
She bumped on me with a punkish motives and I told her watch it. She said “whatcha gonna do bitch” in Tagalog but as soon as I got up on my chair she ran off like a little bitch. The irony.

Ah Mom, bleaching the whole damn house yet again because she’s bothered by some bits of dust bunnies.
All she had to do was ask the rest of us to sweep our rooms and mop them without going overboard.

it really makes me sad with the divide between the twitter types and the 4chan types. like we always antagonize each other and i wish we could see eye to eye. it makes me feel like im not wanted in either part of the fandom.

Well understanding towards me, I’ve heard tales from my other coworkers that he can be harsh towards them. With that said, the superiors in my department do give me a hard time like always demanding me to do task after task. The problem with my department is that if one of them doesn’t do their job, everyone gets affected including me. The entire front end has had hours cut just because other baggers are either lazy asses or just disappear to who knows where and the superiors have to constantly bail them out. I don’t deserve to have my paycheck get screwed over cause of others, it’s bullshit.

Usually, my internet connection has been running at decent speeds.
However, for the past few days now, it has for some reason seemingly slowed to garbage speeds. So I checked by trying a speed test a few times, and it shows my connection’s results possibly reaching a maximum of around “2.28 Mbps download” and “0.78 Mbps upload” (which is apparently “very slow”).
