This is what I have noticed: You can be an absolute terrible employee, but if you always show up on time and almost never call in sick, you are never fired. I've witnessed so many employees with a rude , surly attitude, but they are on time for work.
My dad came back from the Korean war and was able to buy a home and rasie four kids on one salary working as a Union warehouse worker. Teamster! Try that these days.
in the modern days, your dad would be a non unionized contract worker making 11.50 an hr with no benefits or retirment. He;d have to work 60 to 70 hours a week to support his family, alongside his wifes full time income. Al the while, he'd be called a lazy communist union lover who should pull himself up by his bootstraps and start a business
@@eggshells652 Most young workers are lazy/fragile these days. Like in this video, they expect fast promotions. Here's an example. A 25 year-old girl in my office constantly complains that she's "barely making MacDonald's wages." (Then go work there!) She also has a tendency to run off and cry in the bathroom when deadlines get hectic. (At least 10 times last year) Yet she'd tell everyone what a valuable employee she is. People don't see their own negative qualities.
@@Nepthu lol. young workers are just furious that wages haven't kept up with the cost of living. why the fuck should we care about these jobs? employers don't give a fuck about us.
Something like this should be shown to all high schoolers today. Sometimes even smart young people just aren’t aware of how important principles are so valued in the work force.
As a young person, this job market for young people is brutal. Its nothing like it was during this videos production. In the 40's - 60's the boom of production in american factories created jobs. That and the GI bill used to pay any lost wages to anyone who served in wwii. (Well anyone who wasnt black or american indian atleast, they were both excluded) Theres nothing like the social safety nets available back then for workers nowadays that would allow you to switch jobs. You think anyone can afford to search for a better job for a month or longer? Then worst of all no matter how much you make its not enought to ever buy a house. I have 6 figures and i still have most of eaten away from cost if living. And its not biden it has been rising cost of living since 2008 financial crisis it hit ridiculous levels of inflation during pandemic first begginning and now the ukraine war too. Its not as simple as many old folk seem to think it is. We young folk have some of the hardest workers that ive ever seen but theres the saying that goes "good workers are only rewarded with more work" there is nothing motivating us workers to do anything but the bare minimum
@@EnCounterCultureMedia I would normally listen to what you are saying, but the fact that you have to go to the bathroom and fart every day is disgusting.
All very good points. Personally, I have worked for organizations where the boss had his 'favorites' who could do no wrong no matter what. Demoralizing to personnel pulling more than their weight.
They only punish you hard for slightly slipping and Being a minute late. But god forbid you come implacable to work and fully on time and push your self to work harder because no one will ever notice.
@@Pcarnevaaa The loyalty they talked about here is not speaking bad about your company to anyone. Especially when you're planning to work in a new company. No company would want any one bad mouthing their organization.
@@vaporwave-man agreed. Still, this was from a time where prospective employees had to work to impress their possible employer. In today's world, it's often the company who must offer promises of benefits, flexible hours and higher pay just to find people to work. It used to be that an employee did everything to stay on their boss's good side, but now it's the boss who has to worry about claims of discrimination, hurt feelings and walking a fine line between managing and being called a "bully".
+Angel Holbrook You're so right about that... even the ones that would be considered "elitist/racist/misogynistic/politically incorrect" in today's world. They are simple truths about life and people, which are somehow taboo now. It makes perfect sense considering the world we now live in.
I just got a new job working for a podiatrist. He is an independent practitioner, and I'm actually his only employee. He's a good boss, and the experience I'm getting is...unparalleled. In any bigger medical practice with more employees, I would start in reception or records and move on to billing or management or something like that with a series of promotions over the course of months or years. But I get to learn all of that at once.
right you are. Even in the 1960s it was a good time for blue collar workers. I had an uncle who worked his way up to being a forman at a diesel engine plant. He made enough money to have a beautiful home and a new car "every 2 years" . Supported 3 children and a wife. Meanwhile, my dad had a PHD and years of education, he was acollege professor. He did not make anywhere near the money my blue collar uncle did, not even close
@@sophieminter0 well, not that sad. There can be physical dangers in a blue collar job, Besides my dad couldn't do that type job anyway, he was a partially disabled war veteran
Thanks for posting! In these hard times, a helpful video like this can make a difference in the lives of many. Thanks to the advice in this film I can turn around my descent into the gutter.
0:41 nice add, but in some high finance companies it's the opposite today. they want experience and it helps to be a psychopath instead of interpersonal skills
Walter is what we call a "Minimalist" as he does minimal amount of the work and is happy with that, never go above and beyond . We have plenty of those in Union paid jobs or our Government workers. Also many individuals are just "Unemployable" and find many excuses for not working.
I realize you wrote your comment 3 years ago, but in response I have to say the working world has just changed so much in even the last 20 years, never mind the last 70. You could own a house and a car and raise a family on a single income working 40 hours a week. Today, workers aren't fairly compensated against inflation, managers are brutal, people don't get promoted from within, and job security is almost zero. I think with younger generations the idea is more along the lines of proper work/life balance and "I'll respect my boss if he respects me." Why should someone go over and above if they don't see the managers doing that? Pizza parties and candy bars aren't a way to incentivize employees to go above and beyond, higher wages are. Would you not agree?
In my current job I was told that as long as I'm very prim and proper, courtious, bring in donuts when it's my turn and show up on time I will probably be OK.
He didn’t get FIRED. He got LAID OFF. Firing is the fault of the individual person, due to that person’s lack of skill or competence or responsibility or fitness for the job. Laying off is due to matters within the organization and is NOT the fault of the person.
I worked a job where several employees would stand in front of the timeclock a good 15 minutes before clocking out instead of working on the floor and getting the place in order for the next shift. Those employees usually had the worst attitudes towards their jobs and coworkers too.
I hate these types of people. I can't wrap my brain around that kind of mindset. Especially people that leave things in a mess, or otherwise undesirable state for others to deal with, unnecessarily adding to their work load. I'd like to see more people call them out on it and slap the living sh*t out of them for being so rude and stupid.
And you forgot to mention that Bob could do everything he was asked.. Work himself to death and in the end still get laid off because his boss was tired of him working harder then =he was and making him look bad.
- I started off as a Bob and then I realized Walter is right. Everyone abuses a bob in real life. Your coworkers and the boss. So don’t be a bob. Be a Walter and move on after 2-3 years to a new job.
Unless the career warrants it, I think most people should move on after 2-3 years to another place. Sometimes it helps personal development to introduce yourself to new people and new environments. Jobs aren't just about making money, it's where we spend a good percentage of our day. I can't imagine doing the same thing in the same place for 20 years. Either I grow or I change environments to avoid complete stagnation.
I understand when you’re younger moving from job to job to find one you like, I did the same until 18 but I think it’s reasonable to do it till 25ish. Now since I’ve been framing for 5 years I’ve improved quite a bit and my current boss sees this, over the years I’ve received quality raises and my life has improved. During this time I’ve seen and spoke with people who are around for a few months to a year before leaving. It seems people today hope to find that lucky job starting at $30 an hour with no experience haha. I guess what I’m trying to say is why would people want to keep restarting at a new place every few years because it’s not feasible to think you’ll keep your same wage at every job. Maybe sometimes you’ll start with a higher wage than your last job.
I suppose my mindset is to keep climbing a ladder till I’m my own boss and then I have freedom to control my work week where as some people just want to earn enough money to be comfortable at a job they tolerate?
I am a bob but always move on AS SOON AS the company becomes smart arse and thinks that they have me financially trapped. Because I get and hold jobs QUITE EASILY because I'm a bob but I'm ABSOLUTELY NOT financially trapped (far from it) and once they start to treat me like a wife beater, I'm gone in a couple of weeks.
I look at a job as a learning process like school (You can get out of the learning but it always finds your way back) the more you play the game the easier and better it be comes. (And I wouldn't be surprise if the boys started out little then in about 30 years there like Great Danes)
Yes my boyfriend just had that happened to him he busted his butt off for the job work hard and fast trying to be the best and he thought that he was going to be promoted to manger but no that gave it to someone else that he trained and haven’t been there that long he said that they was playing Favoritism because that guy jokes with everyone and eat with them and my boyfriend is more to him self he was so mad that he wanted to quit but he needs a job so now he’s going to punish them by doing the Minimum work
I work with a few guys who have a pretty tight seal on my boss's anus. When they get done with their kissing session I can smell it on their breath. lol Everyone hates an ass kisser.
'cooperation si another way to keep a job' and get taken advantage of, too And then asked for more, and more.. till you're barely doing the job you're 'supposed' to be doing in the first place.
18 months on a previous job!?! I was under the impression back in those days people got into a job after high school (or college) and pretty much stayed with it for most of their lives or at least 10 years.
Not all the baby boomers had cradle to grave jobs. I'm a boomer but still younger than most. Those jobs where starting to disappear. In 1978 I graduated highschool. 🎉It's really a bit of a misnomer 🎉that all baby boomers slid through with lots of $$$$. Me and lots of others.
Notice how he gets out of his chair and elevates himself when lectuing this guy, he does not resume his chair but rudely sits on his desk so as to dominate this guy. He is saying by posture, I am superior to you and you must except what I say with out discussion.
I'm starting to think that our generation needs to watch these 1950's videos - they would be insightful for us. We've become too selfish, spoiled, and entitled.
In China, I once had jobs that required me to work 16 hours per day, 6 days a week and only day off every two weeks. We call it long week and short week. The payment is around 450$/month. They provide food and a dorm room though.
Imagine the concept of a Hiring Manager being a Mentor to job candidates during interviews and hiring them despite the fact they had been fired from their previous place of employment. If he would have kicked him to the curb because he got fired from his last job after 18 months, the guy may have floundered without a job for weeks or even months and turned to something like stealing or selling things that are illegal. That was 1949?
getting fired wouldn't be what ended cost him the job because if you explain the company "retrenched" or re-organized, lying to the interviewer would probably cost you the job.
thats a specious argument though because he had an official document that said his employment was terminated due to retrenchment. a proper labour union could have helped him in that situation however 🙂
Dear God,if only a Hiring Manager would actually be that kind enough to be a mentor.Unfortunately in the real world this probably almost never happens,friends.At least it never did happen to me,God knows.I would have loved for this to have happened,but sadly ir never did for me.
In real life, the hiring manager would have quickly thanked him for coming in, and let him now that they would "call him" in a week about the hiring decision---basically that means that he didn't get the job.
It's a shame that these rules don't apply anymore in the workforce. If you want to get anywhere in life, you're better off doing your time, then dropping the job for a better paying one. It's not as if the employer would give a crap about you. You're just a number.
I work for UPS and I give them two thumbs up!! More thumbs up if I had more than two hands. Wages are lower at first (about 9.50/hr now to start) and work areas are hot (no AC inside the main building). But if a person can wait, wages do go up and the benefits are great. UPS pays 99% of major medical and there is no deduction from paychecks. Promtions are slow in coming but turnover is low. Part time supervisors work awfully hard. Still a good company though.
I think adults need to go again and give advice to young people. And young people should stop been so snub and get humble to receive advice from older people.
Gabrielle Cormier Um I'm from this generation and yes we are a snubbier generation. It's crazy how at work I can easily strike up a convo with a woman from her 50s than one in her 20s (my age!). They're more pre occupied with their phone lives than what's around them in real.
The interviewer/employer found out that the kid got fired from his last job and talked crap about his previous employer, but he offered him a job despite knowing that. Anyone else (unless they're really desperate) would send the kid home.
I had to pause at about 3 minutes in because this is what struck me. I have been unemployed for a long while now, even though I am a hard worker and talented in many ways. But this is how I feel from what I seen and experienced. Men will take young men under their wings. They see ambition and drive in them and imagine or remember themselves or think of their sons, perhaps even the son they never had and want to nurture them and make something of them. Give them a hand up. It makes them feel a bit of a hero. As a woman, a man looks at her, if she is attractive, not as her daughter but as a someone they want to sleep with. If they are not single and moral, they will not hire them because they fear the constant distraction and temptation. If it is a female in the position of hiring, they aren't going to want an attractive or potentially more talented woman stepping in because they don't see her as a daughter but a threat. Oh, I'm sure there is exceptions but for the most part...if I was to guess I'd say this is true in 90% of the situations in the work force. I have been continually and consistently sabotaged at my jobs, by both jealous women and lusting men. I now live on $600 a month SSI. I pay $200 rent, put $200 in saving and live on $50 week. That is preferred to putting up with the emotional pain of jealous, insecure, cruel and competitive people for what amounts, to not much more. I could seriously cry.
summer fields I think assuming men are sexist just because they're men is in and of itself sexist. I understand you feel frustrated by being unemployed, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe it isn't biological facts about you stopped you from getting hired, but your already defeated attitude you have? Feeling a little down because you can't find work is normal, but shifting the blame to something else isn't going to help you. Women all over are employed without being conventionally pretty, and even ones that are don't necessarily get hired because of sexism.Getting sour because you assume things about male co-workers is a sure way to keep yourself unemployed. Call and ask the next time you interview but don't qualify why they didn't want to hire you. Maybe you're looking for jobs that just don't suit your personality. That's something hiring managers can tell. Just because you work, oh, say you work retail mostly, just as an easy example, you're always a store manager when you work. Just because that's what you have been doing doesn't mean it's automatically for you. If you're not especially sales and customer oriented, but you're a good leader and you work hard, you're not going to be good for the job even if you do your best. That leader experience you had is still valuable, and could be enough to catch the eye of a hiring manager in some other industry. So, basically, as one unemployed woman to another, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and get out there and keep trying. The way you talk, it sure sounds like you want things to change. On your own, right now, you can't change a damn thing about what other people are doing, but you can change something about yourself, and that something is the defeatist attitude you're wallowing in. Get it together, are you a capable worker or aren't you?
summer fields Well, happy birthday! Will it sting a little less if I tell you it was a cupcake flavored slap in the face? I'm glad you got pep out of it. I was prepared to be blocked. Not everyone appreciates getting some necessary tough lovin'.

@@MrSoldierperson I lost mine when COVID started thanks to it being a small airport struggling when nobody was travelling. It took me a year to find another job. I couldn't even get a part time minimum wage job ffs. Maybe I wasn't diverse enough.
His parents generation almost all wore ties to work, even to bread lines during the depression, it was the daily dress norm. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to say ties were commonly worn for entry level work in 1949.
How to keep a job: Giggle to yourself frequently, develop an interest in firearms and practice your thousand-yard stare.. They'll pay you to call off once or twice a month, every time. All kidding aside, I thought they were gonna get back there, Ed was gonna meet Wally and the boss was gonna tell him, "Walter meet your replacement, Ed...oh btw, you're fired." xp
Nowadays corporations come in and blueprint your processes and force you to put together SOP’s and then once they have all that your job goes to third world countries.
economically speaking, the 50s did not suck. the united states, following wwii, had the only thriving industrial economy in the world. you could get one of those factory jobs off of a high school education and put two kids through college
$9.50 an hour is a FABULOUS starting wage. Seriously. I've been working at the same minimum wage for more than a year at Dollar Tree. Don't ever work there. They treat their employees like crap.
+D Hubbard That doesn't make sense, if Walter and Bob are twin brothers, then they'd have the same father and mother. So Bob would be the bosses son too.
'Why are you interested in this job?'
'Because I don't like sleeping in the park!'
That is reasonable, but a good attitude towards a possible employer can be very helpful.
This is what I have noticed: You can be an absolute terrible employee, but if you always show up on time and almost never call in sick, you are never fired. I've witnessed so many employees with a rude , surly attitude, but they are on time for work.

Yes my boyfriend just had that happened to him he busted his butt off for the job work hard and fast trying to be the best and he thought that he was going to be promoted to manger but no that gave it to someone else that he trained and haven’t been there that long he said that they was playing Favoritism because that guy jokes with everyone and eat with them and my boyfriend is more to him self he was so mad that he wanted to quit but he needs a job so now he’s going to punish them by doing the Minimum work
The boss forgot to mention that ass kissing will help tremendously as well.
Smart people knows
Jon Sprong LoL 😂
I work with a few guys who have a pretty tight seal on my boss's anus. When they get done with their kissing session I can smell it on their breath. lol Everyone hates an ass kisser.
How very articulate. And a very subtle and well made video.
this is actually a pretty good video even for today
'cooperation si another way to keep a job' and get taken advantage of, too And then asked for more, and more.. till you're barely doing the job you're 'supposed' to be doing in the first place.
thumbs up if you work for a swell outfit
Very good video.
The Coronet Virus has me housebound for months.
if you make spelling errors on your applications like you do in your comments, that isn't surprising
@@garywilliams6124 I was trying to be 'cute'
these give so much advice for people today
Damn i like this boss
18 months on a previous job!?!
I was under the impression back in those days people got into a job after high school (or college) and pretty much stayed with it for most of their lives or at least 10 years.
He got fired.
It wasnt his choice.
Not all the baby boomers had cradle to grave jobs. I'm a boomer but still younger than most. Those jobs where starting to disappear. In 1978 I graduated highschool. 🎉It's really a bit of a misnomer 🎉that all baby boomers slid through with lots of $$$$. Me and lots of others.
He was victimised by the dirty capitalist oppressor. Black Lives Matter!!
Notice how he gets out of his chair and elevates himself when lectuing this guy, he does not resume his chair but rudely sits on his desk so as to dominate this guy. He is saying by posture, I am superior to you and you must except what I say with out discussion.
I heart Coronet Instructional Films.
I'm starting to think that our generation needs to watch these 1950's videos - they would be insightful for us. We've become too selfish, spoiled, and entitled.
its ken from the leisure time video!!!!
The only thing missing from the list of good work qualifications is skill. To be really marketable you need skills that are in demand.
where I can get the full series of these films?
Does anybody know who the actor playing Walter/Bob is? Because he also plays Bob in 'How Honest Are You?'
I love the main character's voice. The high schooler dude/boy. He's also very handsome too.
These jobs were so simple back then
"Did I ever tell you about my twin brother?" - dude, we just met, so no-
Watching for instructions
In China, I once had jobs that required me to work 16 hours per day, 6 days a week and only day off every two weeks. We call it long week and short week. The payment is around 450$/month. They provide food and a dorm room though.
Also I suspect Walter is spying on Bob's every move.
Walter probably works for senator McCarthy also...
Imagine the concept of a Hiring Manager being a Mentor to job candidates during interviews and hiring them despite the fact they had been fired from their previous place of employment. If he would have kicked him to the curb because he got fired from his last job after 18 months, the guy may have floundered without a job for weeks or even months and turned to something like stealing or selling things that are illegal. That was 1949?
getting fired wouldn't be what ended cost him the job because if you explain the company "retrenched" or re-organized, lying to the interviewer would probably cost you the job.
thats a specious argument though because he had an official document that said his employment was terminated due to retrenchment. a proper labour union could have helped him in that situation however 🙂
Dear God,if only a Hiring Manager would actually be that kind enough to be a mentor.Unfortunately in the real world this probably almost never happens,friends.At least it never did happen to me,God knows.I would have loved for this to have happened,but sadly ir never did for me.
In real life, the hiring manager would have quickly thanked him for coming in, and let him now that they would "call him" in a week about the hiring decision---basically that means that he didn't get the job.
I cringed when the dude knocked his former employer in the interview.
But in real life you can not appear to be smarter than your boss, whether you are Walter or Bob.
I wished they would dont more shows like that. I like this channel.
It's a shame that these rules don't apply anymore in the workforce. If you want to get anywhere in life, you're better off doing your time, then dropping the job for a better paying one. It's not as if the employer would give a crap about you. You're just a number.

Why do the factory jobs 100 years ago look much more desirable than those now?
How can I keep it jf I can't find it!
Walter probably took so long because he kept smelling all the copies.
I work for UPS and I give them two thumbs up!! More thumbs up if I had more than two hands. Wages are lower at first (about 9.50/hr now to start) and work areas are hot (no AC inside the main building). But if a person can wait, wages do go up and the benefits are great. UPS pays 99% of major medical and there is no deduction from paychecks. Promtions are slow in coming but turnover is low. Part time supervisors work awfully hard. Still a good company though.
Better start doing your job and ring peoples doorbells!!!
9 years later...
Are you still working at the UPS??
They're going broke soon. Many lay offs! ☠️🎱
Why is this video shadow banned? Try searching for it
what is this guys name? He is almost in every video on this channel.
Gosh, Mr. Smith. I didn't MEAN to touch his daughter...
Oh Wow!! This one's in color. lol
Walter probably listens to the song "Take this job and shove it" by Johnny Paycheck.
😂😆😆
Me too. Gee, weren't they swell!
Ok that joke at the end made me crack.
I think adults need to go again and give advice to young people. And young people should stop been so snub and get humble to receive advice from older people.
I wonder who taught them to be so...snub.
+anticdisposition ourselves.
Gabrielle Cormier Um I'm from this generation and yes we are a snubbier generation. It's crazy how at work I can easily strike up a convo with a woman from her 50s than one in her 20s (my age!). They're more pre occupied with their phone lives than what's around them in real.
gadget00 coming from a babyboomer lol
Kids don't take advice from adults they don't respect. And nowadays there are few adults that act respectably
At least Walter showed up on time.
We live in a material World
right here. just get youtube downloader from chrome and then edit it so that you have the beginning song.
I just need to get a job first 😂
lol
Me too!
You and your spouse basically have to live at work just to be able to live well.
“Golly, I’d sure love to work for someone who has lied to me during the interview!”
Jesus, things really haven’t changed.
The interviewer/employer found out that the kid got fired from his last job and talked crap about his previous employer, but he offered him a job despite knowing that. Anyone else (unless they're really desperate) would send the kid home.
marelicainavokado yeah; this thing is just a train-wreck all around. :D
I had to pause at about 3 minutes in because this is what struck me. I have been unemployed for a long while now, even though I am a hard worker and talented in many ways. But this is how I feel from what I seen and experienced. Men will take young men under their wings. They see ambition and drive in them and imagine or remember themselves or think of their sons, perhaps even the son they never had and want to nurture them and make something of them. Give them a hand up. It makes them feel a bit of a hero. As a woman, a man looks at her, if she is attractive, not as her daughter but as a someone they want to sleep with. If they are not single and moral, they will not hire them because they fear the constant distraction and temptation. If it is a female in the position of hiring, they aren't going to want an attractive or potentially more talented woman stepping in because they don't see her as a daughter but a threat. Oh, I'm sure there is exceptions but for the most part...if I was to guess I'd say this is true in 90% of the situations in the work force. I have been continually and consistently sabotaged at my jobs, by both jealous women and lusting men. I now live on $600 a month SSI. I pay $200 rent, put $200 in saving and live on $50 week. That is preferred to putting up with the emotional pain of jealous, insecure, cruel and competitive people for what amounts, to not much more. I could seriously cry.
summer fields I think assuming men are sexist just because they're men is in and of itself sexist. I understand you feel frustrated by being unemployed, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe it isn't biological facts about you stopped you from getting hired, but your already defeated attitude you have? Feeling a little down because you can't find work is normal, but shifting the blame to something else isn't going to help you. Women all over are employed without being conventionally pretty, and even ones that are don't necessarily get hired because of sexism.Getting sour because you assume things about male co-workers is a sure way to keep yourself unemployed. Call and ask the next time you interview but don't qualify why they didn't want to hire you. Maybe you're looking for jobs that just don't suit your personality. That's something hiring managers can tell. Just because you work, oh, say you work retail mostly, just as an easy example, you're always a store manager when you work. Just because that's what you have been doing doesn't mean it's automatically for you. If you're not especially sales and customer oriented, but you're a good leader and you work hard, you're not going to be good for the job even if you do your best. That leader experience you had is still valuable, and could be enough to catch the eye of a hiring manager in some other industry.
So, basically, as one unemployed woman to another, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and get out there and keep trying. The way you talk, it sure sounds like you want things to change. On your own, right now, you can't change a damn thing about what other people are doing, but you can change something about yourself, and that something is the defeatist attitude you're wallowing in. Get it together, are you a capable worker or aren't you?
Wow! It's a birthday slap in the face! LOL I can take it though, really, I needed that! ;)
summer fields Well, happy birthday! Will it sting a little less if I tell you it was a cupcake flavored slap in the face?
I'm glad you got pep out of it. I was prepared to be blocked. Not everyone appreciates getting some necessary tough lovin'.
LOL
I was a stay home mom and wife for 20 years, ran a daycare and restored antiques. I've been a household manager, personal assistant and Nanny. But I've had more jobs than I could list really! lol
Smithers is still working for mr.burns.
Walter had upper management written all over him.
A chance to go places did me in..this is more fantasy than the Wizard of Oz..Check out Joni Mitchell's "Dog Eat Dog"....
I wish it were the 1950's again, when there were jobs.
There are jobs now!! Stop being lazy.
Lmao 6 months ago the jobs were gig part time. Now it’s real nothing.
@@MrSoldierperson I lost mine when COVID started thanks to it being a small airport struggling when nobody was travelling. It took me a year to find another job. I couldn't even get a part time minimum wage job ffs. Maybe I wasn't diverse enough.
No one needs a job today. AI and UBI will take care of that.
He wears a tie in the shipping department. Even in 1949, I don't think this is very accurate, do you?
His parents generation almost all wore ties to work, even to bread lines during the depression, it was the daily dress norm. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to say ties were commonly worn for entry level work in 1949.
So this is what Ken's doing with his leisure time....calling himself Edward and getting a job...
Walter is a entrepreneur
How to keep a job: Giggle to yourself frequently, develop an interest in firearms and practice your thousand-yard stare.. They'll pay you to call off once or twice a month, every time.
All kidding aside, I thought they were gonna get back there, Ed was gonna meet Wally and the boss was gonna tell him, "Walter meet your replacement, Ed...oh btw, you're fired." xp

Nowadays corporations come in and blueprint your processes and force you to put together SOP’s and then once they have all that your job goes to third world countries.
economically speaking, the 50s did not suck. the united states, following wwii, had the only thriving industrial economy in the world. you could get one of those factory jobs off of a high school education and put two kids through college
Lol. Twin brother!!😂😂😂
Some of my lazy-assed coworkers should watch this film
Ed really has no idea how to interview. He's terrible in the interview.
why because hes honest? 😀
Dave Shaver You never bash your former employer.
why because they never deserve it? lol jk 😉
@@davidjamesshaver its called being an adult. There is honesty and then there is saying too much. Its best to be tactful.
If they bashed their former employer that they will bash your company too. He also lied about why he left. Who knows what else he lied about.
$9.50 an hour is a FABULOUS starting wage. Seriously.
I've been working at the same minimum wage for more than a year at Dollar Tree. Don't ever work there. They treat their employees like crap.
If they would let you do your job and not standing over breathing on you neck and in personal space is what your saying
but Walter is probably the boss's son
+D Hubbard That doesn't make sense, if Walter and Bob are twin brothers, then they'd have the same father and mother. So Bob would be the bosses son too.
