Sieg67 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I start my new job on Monday. No more shitty customers. No more holiday garbage. No more having to go behind incompetent workers. After 14 years, it's over. I did like my immediate coworkers and will be saddened that I won't get to shoot the shit with them all the time. I will keep in contact, though and we'll make plans to all hang out. Edited September 16, 2022 by Sieg67 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBluntsworth Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Cool, 14 years is a long time. You don't have to get married to anything new right away. I like to work all sorts of jobs. Being jobless, job hopping it's like you're on tour, people constantly showing you around new places and how everything works. It can be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) 13 years was spent at one company. Towards the end of that venture, my manager had moved to a different city. My two ASMs decided to quit and I decided to quit with them. This left nobody to run the store and it closed for literal months. That's what they get for treating us poorly and giving us ass pay. I've been told by our customers that the store has opened back up but looks like shit now. I went to Walmart as a stop gap. I knew I could get in easily and my experience made me a natural. This paid five dollars more and I had fewer responsibilities. Cool beans. Was going to stay there at least a year but this new job opening was on a timer and I needed to act. This one is going to pay 2 dollars more. That's a 7 dollar increase in less than a year. I'll also get the afternoons off so I won't have to wait for the weekend to do anything.

I've seen a similar increase in pay over the last 16 months, but ya gotta factor in all those years with virtually no increase/a "real" decrease in how much we're actually able to afford and ask, is this new higher wage actually going that much farther? So far for me, yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Take racg with you so we don't get another thread complaining about how the customer isn't always right in a month or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) I'm ok with ranting about retail but more than one thread is unnecessary. I mean, they were almost the exact same thread. They were also super generic gripes but that's whatever. I could really go into detail with my experiences but I don't think people care enough for me to put in that kind of effort.
