Being at the top means having to put up with lots of whining, constant asking for more money, time off, re hiring for those [...]

I have been an R.N. since 1994. While attending Nursing school, I did not work in the medical field. (I had NO idea what I was in for.) In my last quarter prior to graduating, I remember many times going into the Linen closet area with tears in my eyes, trying to re-group my [...]

I have been with my franchise of McDonalds for six years, and I have been management for five of those six years. I used to love my job, when I was crew, my managers loved me, I worked my butt off, and when I was asked to become manager and manage the overnight shift I [...]

A lot of the views on the other [...]

I am dialysis nurse. What is dialysis?

What’s my Job? Easy. I’m a Clown. I’m a
Clown. I say it twice ’cause everyone always says
“You’re a what????”.
I work in Ireland and have been doing Clowning for 6
years full time.
Before this I did some God AWFULL Jobs.
I went to McD’s after college and was promoted after
5 months to management. It wasn’t really difficult
to get [...]
