When your friend says “don’t make me regret hiring you” it’s not the disappointment that kills you it’s the embarrassment especially since their your friend- imagine getting fired by your friend

Failing isn't that bad if you try not to do it again. But the major problem is that what people will think of you? Are you clumsy? Are you good enough? Will they leave you because of your failure?
The worst trainee is the one who pretends to know the jobs he's never had before and does stuff with out asking first. While in training should be the best time to ask the "dumb" questions until you get the hang of your work.
@Lichmourne yea it’s too bad coworkers/employers look down on ppl who ask “dumb” questions. On my first day working at a job when I was 16 my two managers said I had no common sense because I didn’t know what car I had to take the food out to (I worked at McDonalds) and they later called me stupid. It’s like that almost everywhere too, even at schools. Dumb questions make ppl think you’re dumb and for some reason, or at least where I live, if you ask dumb questions you either won’t get hired or you’ll get fired.
@@mad8805 Same reason why I lost all my self-confidence, people really expects you to know these kind of sh*t when they know you have a different lifestyle than theirs
We all look back at some point and say "I really did grew up…" while smiling and realizing you're doing something that for your old self, seems to be impossible. Kudos for making me smile ❤️
You reminded me of my coworker who told all their friends in high school about how exciting their job is at doggy daycare. My boss hired one of their friends and she was arguably one of our worst employees. She got fired quickly and my boss told that coworker that he is never hiring anyone they know again 😂
If i was a manager I would try to help a young kid like open on the weekends but let no one in just try to get them better a the job because imagine being 15 and getting fired from your first job
Had a co-worker, Nick, who was JUST like this. Asked so many questions it would drive the other employees crazy. Except instead of just the first day it was everyday for weeks. Manager always stuck us on the same shift, perhaps because I didn't have a problem with it and probably because I was the only person who actually cared. Other co-workers would make fun of him and belittle him, but by the end of that year nick was by far one of the most valued employees. By asking so many questions he learned his job inside out in a way that went beyond routine and enabled him to handle unexpected events with ease because he truly understood what he was doing. Everyone wanted the guy on their shift by the time I left. That company is long gone now, but I hope he's doing well where ever he is now.
This, Exactly This. In my time of working 2 jobs, I've had the same problem that I even "told" them before the first day that I would need a few days of a reminder of how to do something before I got it and I had to force them by my own words to remind me and eventually my brain became a super potato, like a smart I know just about everything about the work type and would help other employees. There was this one dude at my job who was still a facility working person(Cleaning toilets ect) and every day I would have a nice chat with him, how his day went, tell him to keep pushing forward and just do the best he can, even on his hard days, I always tried my best to pickup his pace. Everybody else was: Oh this guy is gonna be hard to work with. My point: Everybody may not be perfect but you can always HELP them achieve to be better and get almost nearly perfect, just because you are better does not mean that you should treat others like you are better even as a manager, you are still at a job, treat your employees like you want them to treat you and the reward will happen.
@@SMOK3SCR3EN I've had social anxiety for most of my life that I can remember, I can make friends and talk to strangers but It's extremely forced and I dread the fact that i have to talk to strangers everyday. While I will admit that it has gotten better of the years, I don't think it will ever go away honestly.
@@SMOK3SCR3EN The person is struggling, and they found some hope and comfort for their anxiety. Maybe you should fix your attitude and become more understanding and considerate of others and get off that high horse of yours.
I had a similar experience with my first ever job- not only did I get nervous and ask silly questions too but it was a girly café made up of girls who would bitch about customers who were even the least bit fussy. One can only imagine what they were saying behind my back. They let me go after my trial period ended without warning, having taught me next to nothing about how to make coffees or prepare certain items like they said they would. They didn’t even tell me I was doing a ‘bad job’ even when I’d ask “is this okay?” so I had no idea they weren’t satisfied with me until they let me go. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had made their minds up about me early on. Now when I train up new people in my current job I make a point to be patient and honest with them and to give them the benefit of the doubt as a new job anywhere can be quite intimidating at first. We’re all capable of being good at our job once taught and applied enough times, and I wish every employer would understand that.
exactly this! When I started my job 3 years ago at 16 nobody really tried to talk to me or made an effort to get to know me while working (I work at a place where working together is kinda a big deal otherwise it will go to shit real fast haha). A year ago, during summer when Corona hit really hard in my country and we still had to work people really got to know me and I got to know them, I really made friends at work, which meant that the working together part also went a lot better. Now, every time someone new comes in, I always make an effort to ask their names and just chat with them. So they have at least 1 person to fall back to when something isn’t working out, or when they don’t know what to do. Because to be brutally honest, I would have killed for that experience when I started working here as my first job at 16.
Yao just to let you know I was also nervous about stuff when I was younger ,same as my bestie but now I’m more confident 😀🙂 ! Well done for overcoming you fear! 🍦
I agree! As a trainer, I always encourage my trainees to ask questions, and tell them that having questions is good! If they don't ask me questions, I'm worried they didn't learn anything...
Got fired from a bike shop because the owner couldn't deal with my autism. And he never explained anything neither. Now working at a stable, the people are so nice you get cookies everytime at break. But enough about me, can we take a look at how he flipped that icecream with a spoon and didnt even drop it.
@@lisalegato0109 True. And he lost a co worker because of this. There used to be a girl there who actually helped me. She quit her job after I got thrown out.
@@SadlerStudios shut the fuck up please. autism is a disability. neurotypical people really just made up the "it's a different ability" bs to feel better about themselves istg
I remember when my first boss said "ask, ask, ASK, piss me off by asking but keep asking me questions if you have ANY doubt, better ask now than clean up a mess later"
When I was 15 I got a job as an "intern" at a mom and pop shop bakery, they didn't pay me is all that meant, I worked there for a year and a half before they started to pay me, I wasn't going to school so I really had nothing better to do, plus it was fun and I got to learn how to make cakes and stuff. The owner was a horrible person and yelled at me almost daily for messing things up or not paying attention, after about four years of me working the owner sold the place to an absolute sweetheart and she's become a great friend to me. I left the bakery after five years and went to work at a local pizza restaurant trying to become a manager so I could eventually have enough experience to open my own bakery, I worked there for a year and two months and after many asks they wouldn't give me the management job. So I left that place and ended up getting a job at one of the nicest and highest end steakhouses in america here in cali, they gave me a manager position in 7 months. I went on to helping them open back up through lockdown and they absolutely loved and appreciated my efforts. About July of 2020 the new owner of the bakery called me and said she was going to open up a second location for the bakery I used to work at, so I went back to my old stomping grounds and we open in two weeks ❤️
Reading your years of experience gives me such thrills. Can't imagine those many hours of pain, growth and friendships. :') Being probably a million kilometers away and I don't know you but, I'm so happy for you! All the best for your future endeavours. 😊
Pretty sure it's illegal to have someone work for you and not pay them. And you got to be some kind of special breed of asshole to yell at someone who is offering you free labor.
i just started working at an ice cream shop and i feel you to 100% i ask where to find things that i just saw and i was shaking the first time i had to work at the counter i‘m getting better but i‘m still always scared to go there
I get it , my mum is the only reason I wake up anymore I wish I killed myself last year instead of spending 6 months in the hospital on suicide watch...
I am amazed at this man’s ability to fold the cones perfectly like that with both hands. As someone who worked at cold stone, those waffles are hot af and hard to touch and get to cool right
@Forever Changed if what you're Saying is accurate, the person would in fact have more accidents because the lack of sensation and burn a nerve is really a Big problem so she|he would have an entire body damage Even the burn was in the fingers
@Forever Changed is senseless, Saying that hold a tiny bread is enough to burn a nerve when in case this happens the hold hand would be affected, a nerve injury can be dangerous and folding cones is not that hard, You may be a kid but at least try to Make sense
@Forever Changed just investigate how nerves function, if You want to pretend that is not about calluses but a nerve burn is fine, but is totally the opposite and the way You wrote the comment Make You see like someone immature, i don't believe that you're an adult that would be cringe
This was exactly how I felt after working at Dairy Queen, sure I was good at it to an extent but I wish back then I knew I would’ve been okay and you didn’t have to perfect, just good enough
My last boss expected a lot from me and never corrected any of my mistakes. One day she just send me an audio of 8 minutes saying why she thought I wouldn't last anywhere because I didn't know nothing and that still haunting me till today. I'm working on it, I just want to have a job now and live my life peacefully.
I’m sorry that happened to you. In my opinion (anyone can respectfully disagree), I hope one day she can understand that it’s part of being human to make mistakes and not know things right away. It doesn’t necessarily mean someone won’t last anywhere.
Is no one gonna talk about the fact he just folded two cones...SIMULTANEOUSLY??!!? You're a new kind of incredible - not just for the cones - but you genuinely brighten up my day. Keep up the great work!!
this really hits home. i graduated high school 8 years ago and changed paths so many times. i decided i wanted to write code and make games, and i got into my dream university after several years of community college. it was... too much for me, to say the least. i fell into old bad mental health habits, i got hardcore imposter syndrome, and i just felt like i couldn't make any progress. i dropped out after 2 years and felt miserable. thought i was on the wrong path, that maybe i just wasn't smart enough to pursue my passions. that was 4 years ago now, and i'm just finishing my last quarter at another university getting that same degree i tried and failed at before. this time, though, i'm graduating top of the class and confident in my abilities. self-sabotage is real, and failure isn't forever. changing "i can't do this" to "i can't do this yet" can make a world of difference.
Congratulations! I'm so happy that you can pursue your dreams, even if you failed at them before. It goes to show that even if you aren't “enough,” you learn from that. You’re incredibly strong for trying at it again, and I wish you the best in life. I don't even know you, yet I feel the urge to be proud of you. Again, congratulations on your achievements. Hope you're doing well.
Nobody gonna talk about how efficient this man is, him and his co-worker chucking ice cream from one to another and by the time he was done the waffle cones were had just finished. Not to mention how satisfying this video was. But I'm glad you got this job back since you seem to really enjoy it. Edit: Really surprised how many likes this got, thx
When I was 17 I worked my first job at Burger King... I constantly got yelled at by my manager and co workers for slowing things down, not knowing how to change the sink water, messing up sandwiches etc. I would come home every night stressed out and there were moments where I’ve thought of crying and walking out of the job. It took a while for me to finally adapt but when I did, it was so worth not giving up. I used to hear “Brandon! When will you get this right” to “hey Brandon could you stay an extra hour?” So whatever you’re going through, especially as a teenage employee, just know it’ll get better!!!
It really doesn't sound worth not giving up, unless your like the manager now. lol bet you recieved 0 praise when you stopped fucking things up too, i would have for sure quit for somewhere else sounds awful and not worth it.
I’m happy to have reached your channel! 💕I can so relate to this since I was like that too at first working at mc donalds , but this year I came back stronger and doing much better! Thank you for sharing your videos! 💕
Had a job as a waitress at 16 and I was the exact same. I then realized once I had left that job and worked somewhere else that it wasn’t just me being stressed that was making the job so difficult, it was also my boss and the people around me. My boss would yell at me and treat me like a child, and while I was the youngest employee, you shouldn’t belittle your employees like that. The yelling only added to my stress to the point that I would get sick at work and need to go home (because a customer isn’t going to want a sick person handling their food) Long story short, I was a nervous person with a shit boss in a stressful work environment... I’m glad I don’t work there anymore
I was also fired from two jobs for the same reason. Asked a lot of questions, people got annoyed with me haha. About a year later of being unemployed, I'm working at a care home, where I have a few different positions that I cover for. My boss really likes me, and I like my boss. I even got a higher starting wage than my previous jobs, and a raise after that for working there about 5 months. So life does get better sometimes. I thought I was so useless but just do your best and you'll be fine 😌 just because life sucks now, it doesn't always mean that you won't get better. Sometimes it's not even you that is the problem (just a reminder for all you who are socially anxious)
I think asking questions shows that the employee wants to do good and I see it as taking an interest in your job and nothing is wrong with that. Sometimes I ask questions, already knowing the answer, just to keep a conversation going to avoid that awkward silence. I guess asking where a sink drain plug is is a little much tho lol. I'd attribute it to being nervous and if a kid is the employee it's only natural theyd be nervous and make some dumb mistakes and even ask silly questions but this is how they learn.
HI sorry if this is self promote but can you check out my first vid and give me some headcanons to work with ofcourse you don't have to but I would love it if you could :)
I got my first job at a restaurant at 17, and honestly listening to you is almost like listening to myself. I used to be so nervous about literally everything it was awful. Glad I stuck with it though it taught me a lot and helped me get over a lot of my anxiety.
That was such a nice and wholesome video. I just started working as a nurse and I ask the dumbest questions. I am a shy and quiet girl, so it's already really out of my comfort zone. Also, because I'm so nervous (and tired from the long hours!) I'll bump into things and do things that make people sigh and sometimes I feel like everyone thinks I'm an idiot. This reminds me that it is so important to treat people with kindness and that we can work hard to achieve anything we want! Sometimes it just takes time :)
This was 2 months ago but I hope you're a lot more comfortable in your new environment and that people realize that you're just nervous and treat you kindly
Waving from Philippines! 👋😁 actually since high-school I watch every videos you have and it inspires me to have my own business now with different kinds of ice creams and different designs and taste on it in the future. Wish to have more learnings from you.. I love you!!!! 😍😍💙💙
the way you're effortlessly throwing those ball of ice cream is giving me so much anxiety, I'm about to cry 😭😩 Edit: yes, it is indeed pretty cool! But please re-read my comment again before you accuse me of being a "#hatter", a dummy and slapping me in the face with "like u can do better" like, bruh at what part did I say that "I can"!? Shawty, I described what he did as "effortlessly" that's the same as "doing something cool"! If I were to do what he did it would require me a lot of effort because that's hella hard but he managed to do it "effortlessly". If my English was confusing, my apologies as English is not my mother tongue. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
I'm not gonna lie, having never seen this channel before, and noticing the day this was posted, I was waiting for the joke. For him to, I dunno, sneeze into the ice cream or something. But no, no joke. Just a man being honest about the pain of failure, and the beauty in surviving it and thriving. Godspeed, man. And thank you for the wonderful story. :) Edit: A word.
It’s completely normal to go blank on your first job or jobs your unfamiliar with, it happens to everybody, nobody’s perfect, I wish the world was more patient with people, but I’m glad you pulled through man! Your flipping that ice cream like a boss😉
Personally, I haven’t had a job yet so I can’t relate to your experience, but I imagine that having that invisible pressure bc of ur inner thoughts, even if it’s for a really easy job, it would be hard to make yourself comfortable in that situation. I actually have the opposite problem; I don’t ask questions bc l think everyone else would be annoyed as to why I don’t know the answer. So when I get a job, I hope I question what I don’t know but not to the extent of common sense questions lol 😂😁😁
I never worked at the same job for more than 5 years. My first job was pumping gas in the 1970s, and my last job was as a Biomedical Photographer in the Navy 30 years later.
I had the same experience at one of my first jobs as a waitress. I am constantly second guessing myself and asking questions because I'm a perfectionist with a lot of anxiety. I would also apologize a lot, and one of my coworkers said, "Are you apologizing because you understand, or are you just apologizing to apologize?" That comment still rattles around in my brain ten years later. People can be so harsh, but having coworkers and managers with your attitude is extremely valued!
The thing about work is that when you mess up something, it'll be someone else cleaning up your mess in one way or another. Whether it's shortage for another task or literally cleaning up your mess, it's not okay to fuck up without getting better. At which point the other person will have to give you some select words in a futile attempt to snap you out of your head.
@@ww-pw6di That's a fair take on it, but that was not the situation at hand. There are people that do what you're describing, but I personally ask questions to ensure that we're both on the same page. For example, in my current career, my team works under several different levels of administration. When an upper level gives incredibly vague instructions or expectations, our closest level of administration encourages us to ask questions, no matter how many or how "dumb" some people may think they are. I also have people who are underneath me in my job, and I allow them to ask as many questions as possible because I want them to truly understand my own expectations of the material. Being a leader is about being patient, and being the person who asks the questions is about putting forth the effort afterwards and delivering. This girl who worked at my previous waitressing job asked me the question out of impatience because I didn't understand her vague directions the FIRST time, due to being brand new on the job - not because I was doing anything to mess up the task at hand and create more work for her. In fact, I was asking questions so to NOT create more work for her.
I can’t stand impatient managers, we are humans we make mistakes and we get anxious. Whenever I train someone I let them know to ask as many questions as they’d like as many times as they want, I want them to feel comfortable and confident in their work or they’ll be miserable.
as a chef of 8 years, I've trained a few apprentices and the one thing I never get tired of is them asking questions. No matter how dumb it might be, id rather them ask than them not know.
I genuinely wish I know more people like you. I'm generally super anxious to ask questions because of super strict people and end up just giving up on my tasks.
@@instanttregret never be afraid to ask. The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life. Confucius Words to live by. Its not you that has a attitude problem. Its other people. Stand up straight and lift your head. Have pride in what ever you do and always walk forward with confidence. Even if you don't feel like you can.
I was apprentice once, when I needed to - in order to successfully finish my school and I was that one trainee who knew a lot about things but would ask anyway, even if it's the most simple thing Luckily, chef at that restaurant never got tired of it too, which I'm soooo thankful for! We need more chefs like you, I swear
Absolutely loved your message. I also love you ice cream videos too, but this message hit hard. Brought back memories of when I first started working at McDonalds. Did that for like 5 years or so. Worked my way up to management which I was really proud about (that’s a whole other story, but I had to fight for that as a young kid). But ended up 2 positions below store manager. But art and graphic design was my true calling. And now I work at SiriusXM/Pandora…my dream job, scratch that career. Keep rocking it with these awesome vids
As someone who’s only been working fast food jobs but it looking towards a creativity-driven career, your story is super inspiring 🙌 thank you for sharing
@@arthradot2439 I appreciate that. Freelance my friend. While working at McDonalds and I made the decision that graphic design was my calling, I ended up leaving to go to school full time (which I'm on the fence now...student debt is not the business lol)...but anyways after learning what I need to learn I started interning and freelancing. (Freelanced for yeeeaaaarrrrsss) Making some decent amount of money doing it. Till one day I just happened to stumble across a job posting and boom, got the job. Wasn't referred, didn't have a connection etc...my job and work/industry experienced got me the job. When I was in my early 20's, I was soooo driven. I would have like 2-3 jobs (including freelance). I would do fast food, teach or radio while I freelance on the side just to help cover my bills/living expenses till I finally got to a point where I had enough clients to cover "business expenses" and my own personal/living expenses. That's when I was able to solely focus on designing. My path may or may not be the path for you. My only advice is DO IT! Get out there and just start creating...create, create, create. Eventually it'll hit (even when you are at your lowest or don't see instant results....KEEP CREATING!). I went through that for sooo many years. Slow months, no clients, barely making ends meet, questioning my design abilities. But you just keep creating, keep working hard and one day....BAM...it all falls together. Looking back, my journey was crazy. I ended up doing sooo many different projects, fields, clients etc. At one time I worked in the radio & music festival industry which taught me a lot about the music industry. And because of that and being a designer...those 2 things got me my career job, full benefits, retirement health insurance....EVERYTHING lol.
I remember watching this last year and I’m here again because I’m going through this right now. I’m working almost 2 weeks and I’m still pretty slow and assembling orders that the super visors are saying why am I still so confused. It sucks a lot but I’m happy to know I’m not the only one
This is perfect. Asking questions to those with more experience in what you're doing, self research, and genuinely staying curious and passionate about your profession is how to succeed in any career. Also... god damnit Dylan, the plug is at the bottom of like 99.999% of all sinks on this planet.
Your story is so relatable, this was DEFINITELY me on my first job at 17. Now I'm 20 and run a successful Cafe. For those who are super shy, never give up it gets better eventually. ♡
@@pizzaboy7541 Either worked straight after school while living with family to save most of the money, or the cafe is a family business, or parents gave start up money
Honestly I needed to hear this. I am terrified on trying a job. I'm scared on messing up but I'm glad to see you became godly worker after many many mess ups from the past. I would love to hear more work advice from you.
My guy is throwing ice cream in the air and catching it. Folding cones with one hand. That good catch when the other dude / girl threw it is just a whole masterpiece, i wish i could be that talented Lol
Maybe they're expecting the real footage of 'a scene' that causes him getting fired or something else that 'more amusing' (the internet loves people fail after all). Like I was. Because I dont know this channel. But after I watched. This is the most valueable 2 minutes video I watch this whole week. 😄
When he said "I wish I could go back and show 15 year old little dylan who I am today and it's gonna be okay" I cried and wish that my future me tell me the same thing rn...
This dude is cooking waffle cones, rinsing his tools, and catching thrown ice cream balls all while making products to order. This is a true pro. I don't want that level of effort when I get ice cream, but this dude goes the extra mile, and hopefully gets tips that make his extra effort worth it.
I had this exact job for over a year in college. The more you do it, everything becomes 2nd nature. I did once have the all time worst hangover of my life and I was like, yo I am SICK. They stuck me on waffle cones for rest of night. Hot ass waffle makers in my face. Job was alright for a college job
Well, this dude has to put on a show for RU-vid. Most people aren’t going to be this concerned over a minimum wage job that barely pays the bills. If you want someone to be peppy while making your fucking ice cream, do it yourself you lazy swine.
@@fluto6997 he is saying that his boss probably lets him film because people will want ice cream when they see his magnificent employee serving delicious ice cream...the end.
