At 27 I've finally realized working harder doesn't give you a raise. Switching jobs does. Make sure your effort matches your pay, and if you're bored af or don't make enough at your job, get a new one. Company loyalty is for dunces.
This a fact. Never had greater income growth than looking at new opportunities yearly. Obviously I am in a career role, but the same principal applies.
I totally agree with you working as a plumber I realize they don’t give raise you have to go to another company and talk you way into the prices you want
I love those low paying dead end jobs with a huge list of hiring demands and skills, then having the audacity to tell people they only want "hard-working, motivated, passionate" workers. If you want me to work passionately, you better pay me passionately.
Yeah I've been looking at a lot of hiring ads and they're all keen to type up a 5 paragraph essay about how well you'll be treated, what they can offer you as a person in terms of life skills, and blah blah blah. Then they get to the expectations somewhere in the middle and try to hide the fact you'll only be making like 1/20th what the CEO is making somewhere around there. If they even tell you at all. A lot of them don't even tell you how much you'll be making lol
Almost makes me want to make a fake resume just to go into those job interviews, laugh in their face and walk out.... (I have a Job I enjoy and pays great now.)
Yeah, really depends on the business you're with. Walmart was my first job, and I'm glad as hell I don't work in retail or fast food anymore. But man walmart... I'd be taking an average of like 40 minute breaks. Granted I was in a department with a lazy supervisor, and if i ever got asked where i'd been i can just say I was helping a customer. (Walmart requires you to walk the customer to a product if they ask where it is.... even if you work in lawn and garden and they're asking for something new in the toys department.)
@@Alino- ikr that shit be Hella annoying especially if it like accoss the store and especially if multiple members come and ask you at once. So you gotta waste more time helping them and then your supervisor or manager asking why your area not getting cleaned up or ask where you been at.
When I worked at Lowes it was two 10 min and one 30 min break for lunch. I made sure to stretch that 30 to a 45/50 because the manager would conveniently “forget” to announce the 10 minute breaks. Especially when I was nearly done with with my stocking. I wish they would give an hour all at once. The small little “breaks” are garbo, especially when you it takes you a minute or two to even walk to the break room or your mid something important.
It actually applies to most jobs and careers, not even just retail. I work in corporate finance, but before that I was in IT and let me tell you, the better you are and harder you work, the more stuff they gave you and EXPECTED you to stay at that level. I made ONE mistake, just ONE. They had the director sit down and chat with me to "never do that again." I was so pissed, so what I did was write down in a doc a huge list of everything I did and was responsible for, and that mistake I made was a result of being spread too thin. After that he dropped it and never had an issue since. Moral of the story is, whether you work retail or a corporate job or whatever, doing more than you're compensated for is BS.
I used to work in a grocery store and this guy would hide out in a caged off area behind 4-5 rows of pallets. He would sit back there in his folding chair reading the paper. He called it his office 🤣
My office used to be on top of a half stacked pallet of throw rugs buried behind multiple double stacked pallets of them. That was when 4g phones barely came out, everything in the vending machine was 50 cents so you could get chips, soda, a candy bar and some cookies for 2 dollars. Just lay back and watch videos with some snacks or a beer, those were the days 😌
That hit me real deep, "They wanna give you minimum wage pay then you gotta give them minimum wage effort." I wish I knew this when I was in college lol.
@@SAYDATDARIUS Lol I'm a teacher so IDK. I find myself doing more things that were not a part of my contract on a day to day basis. Overall, it's definitely an upgrade from college but if I'm not careful these people (mostly admin) will drive me crazy and there is no pay worth that.
@Mateo Hodge I never said it was though. I even acknowledged that it was an upgrade. I just said that they give more work than they pay me for but like that is America workforce in a nutshell.
I had this Manager named Justin, no joke first day he started he called me into the office just to tell me no one liked working with me, I didn't do or say shit to him
THIS! I had a habit of overworking in an effort to impress the higher-ups. However, all it did was get me MORE WORK and more people on my ass overanalyzing everything that I'm doing wrong. I beg all of you who are reading this! DON'T OVERWORK YOURSELF AT TERRIBLE RETAIL JOBS! These companies do not deserve that from you. Clock in, do YOUR job, then CLOCK OUT. The sad reality that a lot of employees need to realize is that these companies really don't care about you. You could be the most perfect employee ever, show up early, do more than what the job description says, not take breaks, etc. and guess what THEY WILL STILL FIND A REASON TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVNT BEEN DOING ANYTHING. A lot of these companies have extreme expectations that are not realistic. So, by you going above and beyond all you are really doing is risking your own mental and physical health for a company that would simply replace you if god forbid anything happened to you. That's why the employees that are able to make it 10+ years at a retail company are the ones that have to do exactly what this guy is talking about.
@@heyitz_rj Young people really underestimate the physical and mental health part, they think they a superhero and go all in, within a few days they are run ragged and quit their job completely. It's completely unsustainable, ofcourse the idiot boss also thinks it great they are burning out quick so they can replace them fast.
@eric Spencer My mom knows a guy who works at a gas station, she bullshits with him all the time (I guess they both were fire police or something at one time?). He doesn't run around rushing to each person, he takes his time (but obviously not letting someone sit too long, also it's not a self serve place). If your new place of employment is not a self serve, be like that guy, don't run yourself ragged running to each car and trying to remember which pumps are at what. Take it one car at a time, no one in a hurry usually stops for gas, so if they give you attitude about not rushing for them, brush it off. They're just another nobody who thinks they're somebody more important than everyone else. Your job is to serve them at your pace, not put them on a pedestal.
Had a coworker just like this and he made my life so much better! Swear he kept me from being a pushover lmao. He was so fun and chill to be around. I loved it.
When I worked at Walmart night shift stock clerk, I would face the products like crazy. My aisles looked perfect at the end of my shift (like they tell you to do in orientation!). I didn't just throw it on the shelf and call it good. So I got called back into the office and they said I wasn't working fast enough and only doing about 40% of what everyone else does. I said "Okay. See if you like 0%." I took off my vest, clocked out, and left.
Hits me on a spiritual level. Worked as a groundskeeper and tried to put 100% of effort into all my work. I got injured twice because I was literally fighting time every day to make up for the lack of work of some of the other perm employees. After the second injury, I got called into the office and termed. One reason was for smoking for 30 mins (these retarded managers really cited a break as reason for firing), and that I wasn't keeping up with the work (despite the fact I did more things THE CORRECT WAY than their other employees). Shit was wild and even though it was a career (city), I'm glad I'm not feeling like slitting my wrists every start of the work week, and not having to clean up bodily fluids DAILY. Now I get to work only three days a week for only $1 less just literally watching a hallway for 12 hours. No fucking cleaning bathrooms, arguing with people, picking up copious amounts of trash, dealing with people dumping, just sitting and watching a hallway for only $1 less.
@@harpiessnow What I learned is, if you work like a dog, they'll treat you like a dog. If you try to change that relationship, suddenly it's you who's being unreasonable.
That's the thing a lot of people don't realize, you get paid the same as anyone else, but the guys and gals in charge aren't afraid to bully you to get more work out of you for free. You could be stocking your shelves and several other people's shelves and they'll still say you're not working hard enough. And anyone who tells you to be grateful you got a job and to just stay in your place and be obedient, they're the ones who have successfully been bullied into essentially free labor. If they're not gonna give you a raise, you're not obligated to raise your work ethic. Because that's how they cut corners and save themselves some cash. If they're ragging on you for not working enough and you're doing your due diligence; then that means someone above them noticed a lack of workers because not as much is being done and they've been flagged to hire more people. So instead of doing that, they pressure their existing workforce to 'work harder' and 'do more' without offering a raise because they try to make it seem like you're not doing your part. So if your boss or manager or what have you tells you to pick up some slack and do more, acting like you're not doing enough? Tell them you either get a raise or you know where the door is and you'll be expecting your last pay in the mail by next pay roll.
Walmart was my first job. I'd often take 40+ minute breaks. Depends on the store as well as the department you're in, but my supervisor was pretty lazy and supervised like 3 departments so I could disappear for all that time and if I got asked where I was "Oh I was helping a customer". Pretty sure i averaged like 3 hours each shift there not doing anything. Good times. I can definitely see how a person could regularly get 25 minute breaks at a large retail chain.
@@Alino- Not at Target. People say Target is a good place to work retail, but having been thrown around there I can certainly say its not lax on the rules.
Also, jokes aside, the reason your coworkers want you to work "smarter not harder" is that if you work harder that means they will start to expect more of everyone else. But they never actually pay you more, they just make the work environment worse. So, it's fine if YOU want to do $20/hr work for minimum wage, but you can't put that burden on all your coworkers.
Same thing to this happened to me at the walmart i worked for the had me downstacking pallets and pulling all pallets from cab2 (cargo arrival bay)2 and throwing the truck onto the line all 1500 to 4000 pieces some days two trucks they'd only send help when I'd look half dead sweating pulling dropping bumpin into everything because i was tired trying to actually do it myself i got over that pretty quick no longer work there
@UseTheSupeRsonic The key difference is that you and your coworkers have agreed to work harder as a group for more pay; that's perfectly fine. What I'm talking about is the one person who is working "harder" for a job where everyone is already overworked and underpaid. In this case, there is a spoken agreement between everyone to work as efficiently as possible so as to *maximize* production while *reducing* overall stress. There's nothing "toxic" about that. Let's say you have a job where everyone does step A, then B, then C. But you have one coworker who chooses to do steps A, B, and C, then A again on their own, and without telling anyone else. That can be extremely disruptive to the work environment. There's nothing controversial about that statement.
@UseTheSupeRsonic A lot of these jobs are complete bullshit that exist to work you hard and replace you. I can’t speak about your place of business, but big box stores don’t give two fucks; if they have no loyalty or respect for you as a worker, give none back. These stores do not exist for long term employment unless you want a mental breakdown. Quiet quitting is symptomatic of a collapsing dollar and the middle class with it. If you don’t relate to any of this, then I can guarantee you’ve never worked retail with a shit-tier wage.
@@ralphwiggum1982 real shit they made that 18$ an Hr. Distribution Center job sound like a breeze. Everyone there longer than 5 months looked depressed af.
@@zakenab literally , like idk if this dude can tell we can ALL SEE YOUR COMMENT HISTORY.... dude comments the same shit. Not only that be he's one of those bogus ass "I pray who ever see this is successful "🙏 type dudes. Super sad.
Yeah, but purposely working slow always just makes the day drag longer anyway. If I don’t work at a certain pace my time perception feels much longer. I also have adhd so that plays a factor but I never listen to people who tell me to slow down.
"Give them minimum wage effort" This. I spent my prime going above and beyond thinking my hard work would be rewarded with higher pay. Nope. Now I'm like "I'm not exhausting myself if you won't pay me good for it."
I remember at an interview the hiring manager was telling a story about how he'd put in so much work and realized he was getting paid the same as the guy that did the bare minimum. Basically he was trying to say how he gets the most of his workers for his business but I'm here thinking, "I mean who's smarter: the guy putting in all the effort or the guy getting paid to do minimum effort?" Value yourself guys and take things one day at a time. Absolutely nothing wrong with putting your mental health above straining yourself for a job.
Lol ur mental health? I guess If ur like 16 year old school girl or something. The point of that story was to show that he actually was willing to put in the extra work to help ppl out as whole despite the circumstances. There's a reason why he's the manager now. That's basically the way I am at my job. U can just give slack work because u feel like the pay isn't enough but that begs the question to me of why ur working there to begin with. I mean there's plenty of jobs out there looking for ppl. It's not necessarily a right or wrong mentality but I know a lot of ppl with that type of mindset that almost never end up moving up. U can bet management pays attention to who is meant to be a leader and who is gonna be pion for their whole career and ur attitude is a big part of it
@@ayeshak6822 Lol as a person that's relatively young and is in college, also being told that I was one of the best workers at most of the Jobs I've been too and even asked about being in a management position and has obtained multiple raises... Thanks I will keep telling myself that :)
@@TutorialGameplay4U "It begs the question why you work there to begin with". Have you considered that some people take jobs that they have no passion for or take pride in simply because they need to make ends meet? I know a lot of people that work fast food simply because it pays 15-16/hr where they probably couldn't be making that kind of money someplace else and they absolutely hate the job but they need the money. Also the point about you saying there are a lot of other jobs out there. Yes this is true but with the way this world is right now atm, it's hard to be guarenteed job security. So just simply "leaving a job" might not be an option for some.
@@guthetanuki256 Well I'm not sure about most other places in the USA, I can only speak for my geographical area but I live in the south in a fairly low paying state. They pay 7.25 minimum wage here but obviously most places u make more than that. Ur not making 15 or 16 an hour at any fast food place where I live, most are 8 to 10 an hour. All the Jobs I've had have been relatively low paying (that is it would be very hard to live off of them if u could at all). I've never worked a job I've had a passion for but that didn't stop the management from noticing me or me making improvement and being positive. Most ppl in the world don't work a job they have a passion for but that still doesn't mean u can't do a good job or make a lasting impression. Actually a job paying 15 or 16 an hour would be considered a decently good paying job where I live and I would figure that they probably would want to keep that job so giving slack work for not getting paid enough would be fairly irrelevant discussing a job such as that. As I said before, I personally don't think those type of mindsets are necessarily right or wrong in my opinion. If u want to go in a just do ur job and get through the shift then why not, But u also have to be realistic and understand that u can't expect management to think of u as a candidate for raises praise and potentially promotions over others if ur giving them bare minimum work. That rarely happens
Think about this. Every single Walmart has a general manager and they all make over $100k a year. You ever see one? I seriously doubt a single one has an IQ over 100 but apparently that’s too much competition for you? Smh. As GM’s go Walmart’s are one step above a Subway store manager as far as ability’s go. Any one with half a brain and a little determination could be running a Walmart and making that 6 figure salary.
@@williambrandondavis6897 The Walmart I work at is so unorganized and ran so poorly. They all have an IQ that's equivalent to a rock fr. Unfortunately we never receive help due to the shortage of associates :(
I worked in the meat department at a grocery store and once I broke down the pallet in the freezer I would just hang out in there for hours. They'd think it was too cold for someone to just be in there for a long time 😂
I work in healthcare. When I got hired at my job 6 months ago, the manager tried to get me to work front and back office when I was originally hired for front office only. I straight up said to him " If you wanted me to work back office, you should of hired me for back office then.". From that point on, he never tried to get me back there again. I refuse to do double the work for half the pay...period.
@@zigman3105 I work for a company call Concentra. They call the front desk the "front office" and the clinical side where they do the procedures the "back office".
On the real. New hires. Dont over work yourselves. Because then management will try to keep you at the same output level and make you do lazy peoples work. Its one thing I've learned working labor jobs.
Got hired at my first warehouse job. Temp hire. Did my job. Learned that it didn’t look bad if I knew how to do my job fast. Realized a month later that I had essentially replaced three jobs they would’ve had to hire people to do. Got excited anyways because manager in engineering dept. said he would hire me when I gained permanency. Mass lay off the day before I hit my 6 months. Company I worked for fulfills 1-2 year contracts in half the amount of time, lays everyone off and rehires for bottom $. Oh and that engineering job? $22/h with overtime. We worked 7 days on 5 off. 12 hour shifts. They literally did NOTHING except wait around for a machine to break, but they were all Russian, so if they couldn’t reset it, they called somebody else to fly out and fix it. Permanent position. Couldn’t reapply for it, because regardless if you had been written up or not, it was “company policy not to re-hire.”
Assuming the manager would've actually hired you, instead of some bs where somebody else gets the job and you aren't even considered. Also you replacing the jobs of 2 other people means they would've needed to fill 3 empty positions when you left, instead of having one man do it. I'm not sure if that affects you being hired in the first place, but it might. You deserve better man
I never understand how companies who have a “no re-hire” policy don’t end up blundering their business once they run out of the local labor pool. Amazon is the same way.
On god, this was hilarious 😂😂I create vids just like killakay so if you laughed at this you'll probably laugh at my skits too man. The names Ricarlo on youtube. (Not this account)
Well he's right. Service workers have been told to not value themselves. Yes you are replaceable but the time and effort it takes to replace you AND. Find a person that will actually do the job right is where your value lies.
"The last 30 minutes of your shift disappear, just disappear" 😂 "minimum wage work" 😆 love your videos and also learning alot of useful tips going into my first actual retail job. Thanks for the laughs and the actually useful training haha
Nah screw that. I don’t care how it’s affecting anyone else. If I’m not working hard then my day goes hella slow and I get more anxious standing around. People who love to talk at work all day hate these types of workers because they feel they have higher expectations.
@@lucidcactus4042 actually that ain't the case. When everyone is doing the same thing, there is no issue. When you got one very obvious over achiever in the workforce, the management gonna use them as a standard and try to have everyone meet up to that standard. That's why we try to level them down before they end up messing up everything. That's what happened to my old job.
@@lucidcactus4042 same here (I work at Jimmy johns tho which is waaay different- we all have to do a lot to keep everything running smoothly otherwise it sucks for everyone). The days that I do the easiest jobs go by soooo slow and I hate work. The days I talk to my coworkers and look for a bunch of stuff to keep me busy? Fastest mf days of my life and I love going to work bc I feel accomplished
They will most certainly do this to low level employees who show no signs of interest in moving up. But they will promote and often. And always give raises with promotions and to those looking to excel. It's sad, but true. Not everyone is supervisor/manager material. And some people are perfectly comfortable where they're at.
@Hubert J. Farnsworth (The Professor) Lmfao, I'm not. You could pay everyone at Walmart a living wage and some employees would still complain. GTFOH with that bullshit 😂
@@disappointeddad5804 he is kind of like right. It's a lot of family owned business that pay people way over the amount of minimum wage and the workers tend to take advantage of that. It is a thing.
this is EXACTLY how i was at my retail job. i did 4 years there through high school and college and was a supervisor, well respected by the managers and a good employee. last thing i was going to do is work these new hired 16-17 year olds into the ground. seeing them break a sweat pushing fucking carts for $8-9 an hour. or rushing stock on the shelves. nah fuck that, be human
Lol I worked wm for 3yrs as my first job and man I worked Customer Service and they made me be a cashier, Stocker, cartpusher, janitor, csm.. im kinda glad covid happened to get me outta there.
This is pure facts. I'm still learning this. Before you know it, you're doing three different jobs, but you're not getting three different paychecks. When you start to notice that you're the only one running all over the store getting different things done in different departments... you're doing way too much. Cut back. At the end of the day if you get injured they don't give a fuck, and you're still getting paid the same amount as everyone else. Put that hard work into something you care about.
@Sincerely Respectfully that’s because you gotta set a consistent pace and stick to it. Any day where your back feels good or you’re well rested - Don’t speed up.
Yup, same here. I was called the "stockman" where I was thinking j would be a shelf stocker, something I had applied for. Turns out I was doing carts. I really needed the job so I took it. I had blisters for days. Blisters for days? Blisters for days. The job was insufferable and they told me I could get a 25c raise if I did all my training. Woodh! 25 cents! From minimum wage! Needless to say I didn't stay long. Especially once they had to teach me how to stick my arm inside the glass bottle return machines to open it whenever the key went missing. Yeah no.
Bro I pushed carts for two years at a busy ass grocery store off a major highway. Never once did my feet blister. You can find a decent pair of comfy running shoes for cheap at even good will
I’ve learned that working hard and giving your all just fucks you over in the long run (at least in retail and other similar positions). Finishing work faster and better than other people won’t get you a better raise, or a better position in the company, your reward is just more work. It’s not about how hard you work nowadays, companies will just take advantage of that
i clock on when i'm suppose to but i don't start to work for an extra 5 minutes or so after and i always make sure to spend at least 20 minutes of my shift hiding in the bathroom throughout the day. if i have a break i'll squeeze in an extra 5 minutes on top of that and when i got to go to the stockroom i walk really slow and drag it out. all adds up to a good 2-3hours of less working a week and that really helps me sleep at night.
I’m kind of in the middle. I’m one of the workers he’s describing in the video. I always work at a fast pace and don’t like when people tell me to slow down. But I do take decent amount of bathroom breaks a day and I don’t have to worry about managers saying anything about it because I can easily do 3 people’s amount of work no matter how long I’m gone. If you’re a shitty worker and always in the bathroom you’re more likely to be fired.
This how they did me when I was working in a restaurant here in Ghana😂 I'd do all the work, even the ones that had nothing to do with my role. The security man would constantly tell me to leave some of the work for the other staff, sometimes he'd even try to get me to sit in the security booth, telling me "nobody will find you here"😂😂
Honestly, I needed to hear this back when I started my last job. I got taken advantage of and I never got a bonus or anything for working harder than everyone else
When you work at the bottom, you have no fear. You got nothing to lose. xD When you have a job that is much further up the totem pole, that took effort to get to that point, that's when it matters. I don't come in late, I don't take longer breaks, I follow the time standards and I do my work at my job because I have a lot more to lose. I don't want to have to struggle for a good job again, I don't want to deal with interview after interview looking to get in a good position. I don't want to deal with learning a new job. Yet when you work at Wal-mart or McDonalds...if you lose the job, there's another one waiting for you right around the corner, no experience needed.
Yup, I finally landed a decent job and the latest I’ve ever been is on time, I’m always shaved and you better believe I clock in over 40 hours a week because now it’s finally beneficial to both me AND the company.
This is my mentality for every low wage job ive worked. & its all thanks to a man just like him, who told me the same things he did when I was a new hire. Not all wisdom is written in books. Y'all better listen to this gentleman
This facts. Honestly y’all. Never and I repeat never do too much work cuz honestly if you do more than you work for them tripped out bosses gonna be expecting that of you and you finna end up lookin like a fool once you start doing less. You work minimum wage? Put minimum effort deadass not playing it finna save your life and your image.
I’m one of the people who do it but it’s not for attention or hoping for promotion. It’s simply because it makes my day fly by. Sitting around trying to avoid doing work or making stuff take longer always makes my day feel like shit. I have hyperactive adhd though so I’m different.
Yeah, but for me it has nothing to do with trying to change the standards or to be noticed. I have adhd so I have problems pacing myself and if I feel like I’m purposely going slow I just start getting anxious, then I’m more likely to get angry for no reason later in the day. I never listen to people who say slow down.
I work hard at my new job because I'm just trying to learn everything I can. The people I work directly with often take days off (which is fine) but it's NOT fine when I'm left alone and don't know how to help customers + no one else knows my role. So once I get it down, I'll calm down. But putting 100% focus into work is kinda how my autism works, so unfortunately, it just looks like I want to focus only on work and don't know how to relax. :( Sorry for any people who have to deal with ppl who act like me.
I'm the same way with my ADD but I burnout if I go too hard too long for not enough pay, I work from home at 15 but help out part time for 10 at dollar general, when I run that store you damn right I'm sitting in that office till needed lmao
Do what’s best for you. Don’t worry about other people. But remember, you don’t want to work so hard that you stress yourself out. Take days off for self care. Why? Because these jobs don’t care about you. If you die today or tomorrow your job will be posted for someone else to take. That’s a fact. And you worked yourself to death for no reason. People left you alone at work because they prioritize themselves and you should start prioritizing you. Autism makes it a little tricky for you to not stress or be a rule follower so maybe try to incorporate mini 15 minute brakes into your schedule or take at least one day a month off for yourself. You deserve it.
@@prtdiva Thank you - you're very understanding. I know from the outside it looks like 'I'm kissing butt' or I'm trying to get a raise (which is impossible, lol) or climb ranks (also impossible) but it's hard to explain autistic behavior to people who don't understand. I will try to implement your advice because it reminds me of what happened at my last job with the working myself to the point my masking no longer covered my emotions. I am a person who finds a lot of value in being a productive member of society and following rules (they bring me comfort) but it is easy to burn out. So yes, thank you!
@@AzraelFPV That sounds fair - retail and customer service jobs do not compensate people fairly for dealing with everything they have to deal with, in my opinion!
To be fair, most people are nervous at new jobs. I used to work at a sandwich shop, and the new guy that came after me was nervous. He was like "I hope I don't get fired because I made so many mistakes and ..." I told him to calm down and that it's part of the territory. It can be frustrating because jobs don't really teach people, they expect their fellow co-worker to teach. I did help him and mentor him, but at a certain point when the shop got busy, I couldn't really help him like that. Also, it's good to want to help customers, just don't overwork yourself on the labor aspects. I'm learning to be more firm in my job search. I just want to work the job I got. I don't want to be a cashier that is the baker, the busser, the janitor, etc. I refuse to work a place that doesn't give me breaks.
When I worked at Walmart, I was the new hire who wanted to be helpful and all that. Additionally, my anxiety would make me think I needed to do things that were “expected” aka beyond what i really needed to do. Some of coworkers in my department would get there, disappear after 30 mins, and only show up when they had to (though I got good about disappearing the last 10-15 mins of my shift when I could swing it). I only worked there for about 4-5 months before I left for personal reasons but they fought to keep me to stay (because I actually did stuff). I just said my mental health was worth more and to have a good week.
Man I was at this job doing what it took 4 mf’s to do, by myself. The old man had been saying slow down but He had a accent, I didn’t understand. Working next to a industrial sized sheet metal oven, in a warehouse with no ac in the summer. A month later I understood and immediately no call no showed 💀
When I worked at Walmart, that dissappear for 30 minutes thing was definitely true. I'd literally just walk around the store pretending to do stuff. Maybe help a customer or two out, so I guess I did that.
I actually got hired and found this channel and it makes me soooo happy that this shit is relatable and everything this man says happens to me at Work!!! I work overnights :)

I always talk to the og employees to find the lay of the land before I started my shift at any job I worked. They always give you the shortcuts & the tea on everybody
I remember when I joined the roofing company I’m at my coworker would tell me to slow down. He’s like you think you going to get congratulated if you finish this quickly? No they’re just give you more work to do so take your time 😂😂

I wish more people knew this. I quit my job at McDonalds recently and through the two weeks period people would ask me why I'm quitting or why I'm not doing things so fast. I'm getting 13 dollars an hour after being like 3 years there and I was repeatedly declined my raise for doing overnight. even right now my parents ask me why I quit and I'm just like, "I need to find a good paying job but good paying jobs are hard to come by that has reasonable hours and benefits."
Honestly though. If you look in the right spots you can get big pay raises pretty fast by switching jobs. Somebody right now could switch from 11 an hour, to a 14 an hour, to a 17 an hour, and if you've been keeping it in relatively related fields you can hit 18-20 an hour within a short period of time job hopping and lying about how long you were somewhere. Trust me i've done it lmfao. Unless you're in a company that has PROVEN advancement, your best bet is looking elsewhere at all times.
@@jordonmarion2807 this guy gets it. Lie about fucking everything bro, go hard, and learn to play the part. should definatley not have gotten the job I have now, but now im good at it and make almost as much as my dad, whos been working as an engineer for JPL for 30 years. Kind of sad actually. More people need to have the courage to give up "job security" only way to escape the rat race.
That has been my philosophy for some time. People often have too much loyalty to a job that doesn't care about them or they're too scared to leave a job (For some reason) and find something that'll pay them better. I've left countless jobs and found better paying job. Some not even staying in the same field. Hell, I got an interview at a place soon that pays $25 an hour plus commission and bonuses. Don't be afraid to take risk and try something new people.
That right there is how everyone should act. Minimum wage = minimum effort, if they want more effort they better pay more. But, most of these companies don't want more work; they just want bodies.
@@DonkeyLipsDA3rd because the people above the bottom line often do very little, have very poor comprehension of the inner machinations of facilities and jobs, yet they take in ubiquitous amounts of money and worst of all in nearly all of my experience at a few different jobs- the higher ups in corporate positions did not work their way to that point and obtained the positions through other means.
@@MasterGhostf Every time I bring up the fact that a large chunk of CEO's do not deserve their positions or at least not as much as they're paid, everyone tries to treat me like I'm stupid. Look, I may not have ever sat behind a desk working a CEO's position, but I don't have to to know that people will either sleep with others for the job, get it from recommendations from pals, or otherwise weasel their way into a high paying job they got no right to be paid for. (Which, more often than not, hurts the company down the road anyway if they're not completely qualified for the job. I'm sure that issue has surfaced more times than some business owners would like to admit) I can't wrap my head around the idea that a minority of the work force gets the bulk of the paycheck. Meanwhile all the people who have to deal with horrible customers, manual labor, and overall just bad experiences get paid in peanuts.
As a person who lives in NC I gotta say I'm glad we got someone out here making good content for yt. Keep it up my dude your content is only getting better, you making your fellow North Carolinians proud, you'll hit a million subs before too long 💪
I literally got this same run down when I first started waiting tables… I was advised to wait 10-15 mins before taking orders so I could be assured that the patrons would already know what they wanted to order 😂😂😂

Exactly. I NEVER listen to people who say slow down or work harder not smarter. I always work a little faster when they tell me that. I work like this because it’s the only way I know how to work.
Thank you so much, that's a really important message, they need to appreciate your work and worth and if they don't, don't give it to them They don't want you to know your worth so they can exploit you Workers are the ones who deserve all the respect💜
When I start a new job, I'm set on learning it all and finding the most efficient way to do it. Find out what the rules are for tasks or how they want it done. Then for the most part when I can do everything quickly and properly. I can just do w.e even if it was just tidying shelves. Boss-Managers usually got mad for being lazy and standing around doing nothing on company time and gradually told me to do extra misc stuff like clean the vents, rafters, clean between shelves and wash everything then put them all back. Look Busy. One of the jobs had a great owner who gave me a 5-6 dollar raise before 9 months, but the manager wanted me out because I was good at my job and training new hires. Got the boot when I brought up that my pay was deducted to replace theft merch which isn't allowed, and was going to report them for it. The owner ended up selling to a bigger company a year later.
I beat the system at Walmart. I take as long as possible on my freight so they don’t really expect me to finish much work, and I literally finish at max 3 top stock carts and unload the truck in a 8 hour shift 🤣🤣🤣.
I love this. They don't pay you guys enough to be doing the most. Don't stress yourself or break your back for a company that considers you replaceable 💅
