I worked in a call centre dealing with a £3.50 bridge fare that easily spiraled to tons of debt and we got our shouting but I wouldn't want to climatise you or anyone to the broken and timid "Oh" of a old woman offering to pay off her daughter's debt and being told it's 5k after asking how much.

      Of all the jobs I had, anything that involves customer service are the worst. I worked IT, and had to deal with a lot of stupid people who often set up unrealistic expectations and wanted me to "turn water into wine". I can't imagine how it would be like to work in the fast food industry where your bosses are sadistic and customers are downright hostile.
      If anything, the workers are the ones keeping the industry afloat, and I'm appalled that they aren't paid a living wage. Do you know what happens when you don't pay an employee a living wage? The tax payer foots the bill. That means their employers are passing the responsibility of a living wage to the rest of the tax payers. How is this even legal? Companies that pay employees meager wages to a point where they have to be on welfare should be fined HEAVILY.

    34:30 I actually asked "Why should I work for you?" in a job interview once, too, though I think I phrased it more like "What does this workplace have to offer to its employees?" I was applying to be a proofreader and editor for a local publishing company.
    The guy interviewing me visibly straightened up, then said, "Wow, it's like YOU'RE interviewing US!" and laughed nervously. Mind you, this was only the first question I'd asked during the interview. It wasn't as if I'd been bombarding him with questions for the last five minutes.
    He then paused for an uncomfortably long time. He said "Let me think..." He paused again.
    By the time he finally provided some empty answer, I already knew I'd be running for the hills as soon as this interview was over.
    The takeaway?
    ASK THIS QUESTION!! A bad employer will freak out at the idea of a potential employee having a sense of self-worth, and you'll be able to save yourself SO much time and grief.

    • @MrPaulMorris
      @MrPaulMorris Před rokem +87

      "Wow, it's like YOU'RE interviewing US!" A lot of interviewers are terribly insecure and anyone moving off the standard track can completely throw them. Years ago I moved into teaching having been an engineer and manager for over 20 years. I got lots of interviews but no offers. It is standard practice here (at least in the teaching world) for interviewers to give feedback to unsuccessful candidates. Often it was as unhelpful as "You just weren't the strongest candidate on the day", sometimes it was straightforwardly discriminatory (in a way that is now unlawful, "We feel you are just too old (45!) to be coming into teaching", "A man of your age (still 45!) and background just wouldn't be able to relate to our kids".
      The best feedback, however, was: "You were too relaxed and confident in the interview. It seemed as if you were treating it like a conversation!!!" Perhaps the fact that I had interviewed dozens of people for professional roles paying a good deal more than teaching, had attended training as an interviewer where it was stressed that a good interview should be a dialogue to ensure a good fit between candidate and employer and had been an industrial trainer were factors. Maybe it was that I had attended so many unsuccessful interviews that I not only did I have the script off pat but had such a low expectation of success that I was entirely relaxed. Still, it was a little frustrating...

    My old job was helping other ASD folks like me navigate finding and retaining a job, but we had to close down because the agency funding us wasn't willing to pay us the extra hours needed for the results they wanted.

      I can't get over the fact that there are laws that make it legal to underpay people simply because they're disabled, especially when people have intellectual disabilities and they dress it up like "it's good for their independence!" and the employers are doing them a favor since they don't work 'as efficiently' or whatever.
      Paying them reasonably would be good for their independence, it's is just taking advantage of the disadvantage and calling it altruistic. It's so gross.

    So, my job story:
    I used to be a Starbucks barista. I had worked for 2 and a half years.
    There were so many rough patches but it's the only company in the USA that has transgender healthcare benefits. So, I stayed. But, things got progressively worse. Karens were every other customer when before, it was only around 1 Karen every 100 people.
    So, back in May, I decided that I'd put in my 2 week notice.
    That same day, the power went out at Starbucks. (And Starbucks as a company says if this happens, wait half an hour, if the power stays out, you go home.)
    My MANAGER said we had to work no matter what. The inside reached 80°F (the company policy says if this happens, you are to leave immediately.) My manager said to continue working.
    My coworkers and I were so fed up. I quit right then. When he asked why, I said it was because of life reasons, but I wish I told him right then and there that it was because he was a pile of garbage. I also wish I had called HR on his butt

    I needed this subreddit today. I've just dropped out of college because of severe burnout. I'm autistic, but it went undiagnosed until this summer, I was 18, and only was assessed because I asked about it and suspected it myself. It was obvious I had some difficulties throughout my life, but my undiagnosed dad just told me that stuff was normal and happened to almost everyone in our family. I was also labelled as gifted growing up, so I was given more work and almost perfect grades were expected of me, without any help or adaptations. I managed to keep this up throughout all of highschool and get into a highly demanded degree at a prestigious university here in my country. But it almost fucking killed me. On top of everything, I also had trouble socializing and fitting in, an art I almost perfected at the cost of my mental health, was constantly called lazy because I couldn't study as many hours without breaks/couldn't study at all some days and had trouble keeping my room clean and more stuff like that that ends up making you feel like shit about yourself.
    And I just can't keep doing this. The past few months have been so bad I had various panic attacks some days, and was more sensitive than ever to sounds, smells and all that stuff. Hell, I ended up crying one night because the washing machine and something else in the kitchen were on at the same time and it was just too much. I've never been that sensitive and I know it's because I'm too fucking stressed. Last week I ended up in the ER because of suicidal and self harming thoughts. My roommates here are super sweet and have taken care of me for a few days now, but I'll be going back to my hometown soon. I just can't do this anymore.
    I plan on coming back to college next year, although I probably will choose a degree in another field of study. I hope 9 months is enough time for me to recover at least enough to function again. My parents get it, more or less, but I know Christmas will be hell. I already feel bad enough, but my family is the type to think that work/studies is what brings purpose into your life and that you are being a useless, miserable being if you aren't doing either at the moment. Even my younger cousins are going to joke about it and laugh at me, and I'm horrible at defending myself. I wanted to pretend I was still in college, but my mom has already told everyone so I'll have to deal with it. On top of that, I'm on antidepressants now, so I can't even be drunk af like last year when I had just broken up with my ex.
    Sorry for the rant, just needed somewhere to talk about it.

      My one life tip is to get an ecucation in something you really like, I wish I could have told myself that 14 years ago... I wanted to become a woodcarver, I still do, but instead I went with the "safe option" of becoming a teacher. I regret that. I'm not a teacher, I don't like kids, and I work in a low-wage job I don't really want to pay the bills. I just have 4 years of teaching school to pay down, that's all I got out of it.
      So take your nine months, and consider your interests, your skills, and your mental health and capacity. And then choose something you actually want to.

    My job story:
    I used to work at a tire company out in the bay changing tires. I was the only girl to work at the place so it was pretty big deal for me and I was super excited, and even finished all of my training early because I wanted to prove to my boss that I was more than happy to work (also because I wanted to show I was willing to put in the work for promotions too). I worked on changing tires for a few months before being put on air check. There were multiple people that got hired after me and were promoted without even finishing their training, and I was still stuck on air-check. Even though I would often ask my boss about being promoted to the front desk as I had started to refer people to go buy new tires because theirs were wearing out, I was told that "My training wasn't finished yet". (keep in mind, all of my training for both bay work and sales work had been completed way before I started asking).
    A few months go by and I get hit in the face, had to go to the hospital, and got stitches on my eyebrow, eyelid, and right next to the outer edge of my eye. Boss told me that worker's comp would pay for my hospital expenses. I ended up quitting a few weeks after due to the boss wanting me to come in and work while the stitches were still in and afterwards getting a text from him saying that I put them in a real bind because of quitting. I called worker's comp and asked them about the bill and they told me that even if I quit they would still pay the bill because it happened while I was working. It's been almost two years now and the bill still hasn't been paid. (almost a $3,000 bill, it's been passed to collections and every time I try and call worker's comp I get radio silence)

    No joke, this is why I’ve spent the last few months buying crafts and putting together goodie bags for the kids in my kiddo’s class. It takes the pressure off of the teacher and she doesn’t have to 1) spend outta her own pocket 2) only give them the crappy print-offs that most of them won’t like. I’ve given her enough to either save for the next few years or to share with the other teachers. For December alone, I’ve got enough for the kids to do something for the whole month and still have some for the next few years.
    Parents, if you can afford it, and the teacher is actually trying to be a good teacher (not just ignoring the “problem kids” and actually cares about all their students), try to do what you can for them, even if it’s just sending in extra supplies, donating for field trips, sending in extra art supplies, etc… you can also ask what the class needs the most and help with that, only if you can afford it though, but I can say the the Dollar Tree is an amazing place to get art supplies for cheap

Like just fucking tell me I didn’t get the job so I can get my closure instead of hoping I got the job.

Well my boss said no, and showed me a print out from his boss explaining: "There will be no time off from Nov 21st through January 1st. All employee requests for time off will be automatically denied during this time. The holiday season is busy and we need all hands on deck." So my reply to this was. Ok, guess I am just quitting then. Good luck this holiday season. When I told my co-workers about this, I got 3 others to quit with me. All of us were complaining they needed to raise our pay. So maybe loosing half their staff (Small liquor store, not a lot of employees) the day before thanksgiving will show them they can't get away with treating us like shit.

      If only min. wage laws didn't get in the way. They make it illegal to pay workers what they're worth during off-peak periods, so to compensate, employers pay workers less than what they're worth during peak periods and require them to work in peak periods so it averages out.

      My family combined kids and adults for holiday meals- dining table got several extensions, all sorts of chairs pulled from around the house. It was almost an adult-child-adult pattern. This was for helping us kids with passing the heavy dishes at first, but we stuck with it- there was traditional seating that only got slight adjustments. Although some adult conversations happened, kids were allowed (even encouraged) to participate and the adults also encouraged the kids to choose topics, with the kids leading most of the discussion (sometimes science, something we wanted to learn more about, books and movies, games, hobbies, etc). So we had the best of both worlds. The boring “grownup” conversations weren’t during eating, so the “kids” (even when most of us were teens) would leave to play games for a couple hours before returning for dessert. Now, the youngest is over 21, and we have the “kids” end and the “older generations” end, because we tend to have different conversations, but the entire table does join in on topics from both ends. We had a short story time where someone read “Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?” last time for nostalgia and to introduce SOs to our favorite childhood books. 😂

    Gotta love the one at 04:00 because there are a surprisingly large number of HR Departments that really seem to think that way. So far, whenever I switched employers in my carrer until now, it always was because someone else was willing to pay better then my current employer. Like when I switches Employers at the beginning of this year it netted me a nice 30% increase to my income for basically the same work I did for my previous employer. Guess that comes with working in IT, where people that know their stuff are quite sought after.

    Work place story:
    Let me preface this by saying a store-wide joke is that whenever somebody gets hired here they are selling their soul to XXXX-company.
    I am a personal shopper for said company and in the first few months of me working there I had two days off with $12 an hour for 6 hours a day and a 6am-12pm schedule (sometimes 1 or 2 o' clock if we were busy) plus the job was pretty simple. I was comfortable with my position and I loved having that 6 hour work day, it was good for me. Then I switched to nights to catch up on sleep (10-5 / 11-6) but I was still okay with that.
    Until recently.
    I became an admin recently. And admins manage the room where we put away all the grocery orders, bill people, run out orders to the customers and take phone calls, plus manage the shoppers. It's a hard and overwhelming job where you basically become acting manager of the department when the actual manager isn't there. Anyone can become an admin if they ask to be trained to be one.
    Now, A bunch of people quit, our department became way understaffed and upper management refused to work with us about cutting back orders. (For reference a casual day is 50-60 orders maybe even just 40 if we're lucky, leaving plenty of time for night crew to start on tomorrows orders by lets say 1-2:00) For 3 days in a row now we've been overloaded with 80+ orders in a single day with only 1-2 shoppers on the floor and one admin in the room (That admin being me). So far in those 3 days we've had to call over 30 customers to tell them to come tomorrow to get their groceries because we don't have the people to keep up with the demand. And also in those 3 days I've been scheduled 8 hour shifts despite being only part time, my two days became one day with no hope of ever getting it back, I'm constantly being called in to come an hour early to help with the workload, I've not been taking my 30 or 15 minute lunch breaks to compensate for time loss, I have customers calling screaming and yelling at me, I'm getting crap from our HR representative when I want someone to stay to help me in the room, I'm taking out orders, I'm managing the computers, taking calls, answering questions, billing, checking on the shoppers, putting the orders away and so much more all while we're two hours behind and I'm praying we can get today done.
    Now you may ask, do you get a raise or compensation for this clearly difficult and higher position?
    No. Absolutely not. Whether you are a shopper or admin, the pay is the same. It's just a fancy title with more responsibility attached to it for no extra benefits. Oh, but you get a cute little vest and a slightly different name tag so there's that.
    Which is why I plan on quitting that place once Christmas is over. I'm sick of dealing with all that responsibility and grief with no extra benefit to either my paycheck nor my scheduling. I just can't keep up with the insane workload expected of me anymore and anytime I hear someone say they want to work here I immediately tell them no. HR doesn't care, the store owner doesn't care and it does not matter how hard you work yourself over here because your talent and effort will never be recognised. Well it will be in cute little $5 vouchers that my HR rep loves to hand out in troves. Yeah that'll pay for groceries that month, thanks. So will the clearly empty words of encouragement they love to throw around so much.

      Basically what happened to my mother.
      She is supposed to only be a part time worker but over the decades Management has cut back on staff while the work is the same yet still expecting everything to be done.
      Fast forward to today. The work that was once handled by an entire department is now handled by two people. My mother, a "part time" worker, and another women who is only supposed to work for 2 days a week to "fill in".
      They are racking up dozens of hours of overtime each month. My mother alone has hundreds of hours of overtime "saved up" at any given time. Used to be way more though. Whenever someone would complain they would get ignored all while they lay off even more people. The same thing is happening company wide. All while the they have record breaking profits
      Im not exagerating when I say that corporate is soulless and evil. They wont stop demanding more and giving less until someone kills themselves. Actually, not even then probably.

He also doesn't say the whole "company is like family" bit, however, if you interact with the us employees long enough, you can tell we act like a second family.

The customers seem to get dumber by the day, our customer service quality is in the toilet because the training is a joke, we are ALL grossly underpaid. The only real draw *was* the health benefits. After The Great Resignation at the start of this year, benefits have gotten better nation-wide. Plus, living in the middle of nowhere, people have been quitting (20-30 people/month), leaving everyone else to pick up the workload. Causing more people to quit. And there are no more people to hire. The company is likely to collapse under its own weight.

Which means that we got the WORST, MOST RUDE, and ANGRY customers on the phones one right after another. Before COVID, I was a shining star. I once had a boss unable to coach me because he couldn't find anything I needed to improve on. That all changed when COVID hit. Customers were angrier, getting help from bosses was harder because we were sent home to work and communicated on our PERSONAL cell phones. But the standards they held us to kept going up. I was (unauthorized) clocking out for panic attacks and throwing up every single day. My boss at the time (a different one) always had a lot of things to coach me on. But when I finally called him to put in my two weeks, he was shocked. As if I had been doing "so well."
