The Job Diaries Thread Doc returns(Put them brake pads away bih)

[dab00g]

My advice goes for anybody without a job and looking. Trade school, rop, or technical school Is better than taking gen ed classes and going nowhere.

[Dramatix]

Just a shout to all perspective college students. Before embarking on a fruitless career with an English major. Consider the benefits or going to trade school or technical college.

Those are pathways to good paying jobs that can turn into a great paying career. Especially when you gear your education towards that job market.

I was a pharmacy tech for 5 years before pharmacy school. I also worked part time on the weekends as a pharm tech because my paid internship was pretty low paying.

When I finished up pharmacy school. I was already established in both retail and hospital settings.

Really helped my job searching.

Now I work a government job as a pharmacist.

But you can replace pharmacy tech with nursing, dentAl assistant, emt, paramedic, radiology tech, x-Ray tech, plumbing, electrician…

It is just so you can plant your feet somewhere with something tangible.

Or you can join the military. I suggest navy or Air Force and get that education through jobs they have set up there. Especially if you don’t want to see combat.

I did have a thought about looking into the military, but never thought I had the discipline, and I’m not one for combat (thought I’ve been meaning to look into the technological fields). My uncle suggested that I should take the ASVAB to see where I’d place, but concerning combat, I researched war corresponding - I don’t have much bravery to take on such a position and plus it requires a lot of field experience before you’re sent to another location outside of the US.

Now game design - that requires creating your own indie games, a lot of potential writing, and exceptional artistic skills.

I just don’t know what to do after receiving my Associates’ other than finding a better job and going for my Bachelors without a car.

She’s not bipolar - she’s a Type-A bitch who suffers from an idealistic mindset that consists of nothing but her unrealistic expectations.

lol a bipolar type-A female in retail with unrealistic expectations? Sounds like a real winner haha.

Not to mention she ocassionally throws tantrum, tears down items from the shelves if it doesn’t meet her expectations (as in if it doesn’t look good or it’s an outlet for her anger), and tells everyone to be a dick to the special needs employee she had to rehire.

[Starhammer]

So last night I was written up again at work again alongside the other employees from the previous night, because apparently the store looked like shit and return carts were scattered everywhere, which I don’t understand because though I can’t say the same about the other areas, mine was perfect and I recall everyone clearing the store of returned items. The store manager came in that morning and started yelling at last night’s closing manager, who was on her day off that night and wasn’t even in the vicinity. My co-worker then claimed it was our fault that she received a citation, forgetting that we all were written up as well. This bitch is the abortive employee in the store and had the audacity to say some shit like that.

That being said, I wrote on the citation that it was outlandish for me to receive another one because I’ve done my part, and that the store manager needs to comprehend that it can be rather cumbersome working and make the store look nice when customers are behind you shopping and messing everything up, some potentially shoplifting. Also, I’ve expressed that she needs to learn where to direct her anger, and that just two people can’t make the store look beautiful without busting our asses, especially on busier days. Just by telling her to manage her again, I’m most likely out of a job, and the furniture manager excused it with her being bipolar.

She’s not bipolar - she’s a Type-A bitch who suffers from an idealistic mindset that consists of nothing but her unrealistic expectations.

if you get fired, come in once a week (Maybe a few times) to fuck shit up. From the sounds of it, you don’t actually have to do much to put her in a fit. Seriously though, I hope you can get a job where that kind of person is NOT in charge.

It’s uncanny. I’ve been in your exact situation 8 years ago. It kinda happened too at my current job. This is what I did: I told them I did my job. I’m always gonna do my job and when people start tripping, it really does anything to me.

[Chachi]

Probably one of the few perks of my job right now: If management tries to write me up for something, I at least have a union steward to back me up if it’s not my fault (example: getting written up for finishing late even though management dropped 3 hours of extra work on my shift due to understaffing).

[dab00g]

I am sort of my boss at work specifically what I do. My bosses are the higher ups in management who have no say in what I do.

So I also am union.

Some of the wasteful degrees Just horrible

[Drfatality]

so… uuuh… 50K is considered great pay?

**What you really want to do is learn a trade and then run your own business. And then you want a couple more businesses. You do not want to rely on an employer. You also don’t want just one stream of income, and you don’t want to have to actually do all the work yourself for those businesses. You want to be able to pass off the process and continue making money, by having everyone do a part of the job.

But life is hard and it’s really mostly luck and connections. Anyway keep your head up. Or put your head down and your nose to the grindstone. Really just don’t worry about it and keep grinding. **

this right here is 100% truth.Knowing how to make money outside of work is a blessing.And the grinding part is GODLIKE…Look,this is my 3rd go at Mcdonalds but im not looking at it in a defeatist way or considering myself a loser in life becuz of it.You only lose when you give up.Never know the Doc might branch off and own his own restaraunt one day…

I get my schedule wednesday,crew seems kool.im right up the street from a bar and its a 24 HOUR LOBBY so i’ll deff have sum stories up.The yankee candle and home depot jobs took so much energy out of me that I was too tired to post day to day entries.i’ll post about the “Creepy wife stalking manager” at home depot later.

The wife stalking manager? Summons the popcorn

Welcome back doc. Glad to see you’re healed up and back on the scene again.

-Starhammer-

story time brehs…2 months ago I was working for Home Depots warehouse…1st day they had us sit in orientation and watch Anti Union videos.In between videos he would stop and tell us his life story,he recently got divorced he was looking sad as fuck talking about it damn near about to cry.Im sitting there thinking what does this have to do with work?Then he goes,see if we were in a union I wouldn’t be able to have this conversation with u guys.Im like WTF,The union is GOAT status but I need a job so i’ll shut up…mind u this dude is 5’2,grey and balding.Just to paint a description of dude…

fast foward months later when I got injured,a friend who got me the job calls and tells me the manager got fired for stealing money and for stalking a employees wife when he wasn’t home.Creepy manager dude was using the MagicJack app on the work cell phone(the phone controls everything in the warehouse too)…to call this dudes wife whom he’s never seen before…Nigga calling the phone all rape like:You may not know me but I know ur husband…and I think u need me there…are u there?

wtf…Home Depot was a alrite job.Time Based/Percentage work isn’t where its at tho…

next story will be about a recent encounter with Dave 2.0…

[Gamegeezer]

As unfortunate as it is to say this, “YES! IT’S BACK!!!”

lol, sorry Doc

[Shadow_Ace]

Wtf that’s some weird shit lol my former manager used to sniff the hair of all the chics but would play it off jokingly with some reference to real housewives of Atlanta or some shit. He was a cool dude just a huge pervert

[Starhammer]

Oh GOD no. Not Dave again. I hope this story ends with tire marks on his face.

[VolcanicAkuma55]

Hopefully the Russian dude shows up too

-Starhammer-

Thank you. For me to accomplish that, I’d have to be in the store during closing hours to really fuck shit up, so that in the morning she’d have something to bitch about. As a customer post-getting fired, it wouldn’t matter if I made a mess, because I’d simply be one of the many customers who come in and ruin a nice display. To shed some light, I’ve only see my boss about three or four times in person in the year I’ve worked there (she works in the morning and I work in the evening), and if she did fire me, she’d probably try to have me banned from the store. Now when it comes to finding a better job, I’m trying to overcome hesitation and pickiness (I want to get out of retail and hope my Associates will give me a bit of an edge in applying for desired employment opportunities, but am fully aware that I’ll have to work in retail to gain more experience), but this job has helped me grow a bit.

And that’s what I wrote on the citation, that I’ve done my part that evening and never even had a chance to get into Christmas. It actually feels like a prison, or better said a plantation, working there in my position as mainly the blacks are working the weekends under a usually white manager (or the black one, who you could call a semi-token), which is why I don’t even feel like working with the southern one (who can be cool but can be a bit harsh at times). I was tempted to confront my co-worker and tell her off for saying it was my fault she got written up, but the story was busy and I eventually got over it. Girl had me all types of fucked up.

[Tekno_Virus]

If you get written up, nothing happens right? Even of you get fired, just work at the grocery store down the street or something.

[Drfatality]

Oh GOD no. Not Dave again. I hope this story ends with tire marks on his face.

i’ve only been written up twice nothing has happened.Our manager just talked to all of us.its different different places tho

[dab00g]

For all those with shitty jobs or none at all

Look up a technical school, rop, trade school

Do a program

Start making real money

[KaboXx]

Yo doc! Been awhile i read upon your stories! Never forget dave 2.0 ahahaha that shit makes my day xD

[Chachi]

If the post office doesn’t work out, or if shit goes down like I kinda think it is regarding pay (i.e. the suits retiring off all the guys making 60k+ and locking in all the new guys filling their spots at lower pay grades), I’m definitely hitting up a trade school. I don’t need to be rich, just need something consistent that isn’t going anywhere (like the locksmithing thing I mentioned a few pages back)

[dab00g]

It doesn’t matter how old you are. If you are going to school make sure there is a finish line that includes a career.

Post office people should probably stay for the pension.

But it depends.

Time goes on, but you can still learn.

School doesn’t mean college or degrees. School can mean licensing and certification.
