I used to really like my job. I got hired as crew and was promoted to manager. I liked the people I worked with and we got a long well. I liked it so much I stayed.
I stayed way to long. All of the employees I liked quit. New ones got hired and we got [...]

My job is a new job. I got this job through a public tender that I pass in this year. It was a victory because there was just a only vague description. I thought to choose another city, where it had more vague, but I didn’t want to live out there and then I decided [...]

Hello. I don’t even know where to start. My whole working experience was terrible at Price Chopper, Inc. I started with minimum wage, and first day of work, they expect you to start doing everything while they’re too lazy to actually show or tell you what you gotta do. I worked in the Food Court [...]

i was once an outside sales rep in hawaii. when you think of hawaii, you think of the aloha spirit that’s within all local people there, right? wrong!
during my first week i started for a local distributor on a certain hawaiian island, my ex-boss (born & raised in hawaii) at the time rode along with [...]

Being a cashier isn’t bad… Dealing with people is.
I work as a cashier in a small, family owned grocery store. The job itself isn’t that bad at all. It’s not hard once you learn how to do WIC checks and remember a few produce codes. All you really have to do is move stuff past [...]

I am a RDC store auditor. I love working for Lowes. I spent two years in the army, serving my Country in Viet Nam in 1969 thru 1970. I spent 25 years with a private Corporation and I was in Management over 20 of those years. I have been with Lowes for [...]

I have been a postal clerk for over 20 years and the complaining gets really old, we are very lucky to have our jobs and as far as you waiting in line and thinking we talk or don`t jump right away is just wrong..most of us like our jobs and just so you know I [...]

I currently work for a company whose name depends on the day of the week. They frequently change the name of the company, related to the lack of customer satisfaction. This company works with people out of state making it more difficult for people to sue them. This is a hostile environment governed by men [...]

Some of you may or may not know of the somewhat small franchise called Nothing But Noodles. I’m not entirely sure, but i think they are mostly scattered around the south. I do not advise anyone who has respect for themselves ever work there. There are two in my city in Alabama, and I worked [...]

So, I basically only went into this program because my parents wanted me to and it was all about “you’ll find a job afterwards.” Yeah.. wonderful, whatever happened to do what makes you happy and worry about money later? Guess they left that one out. I’m so sick of the c*** I have to put [...]

I’m currently on my 4th semester of nursing school and like many postings here, i love what nursing implies and obviously i want to help people and make a difference but i have been discouraged since i started nursing school despite how hard i have worked only to be dissapointed. i’ve realized that in this [...]

Notes for hotel guests:
Staying at a hotel while you’re trashed shouldn’t mean you don’t clean up your vomit before checkout.
Please poo in the toilet provided. The windowsill, bed sheets, couches, chairs, etc. are not toilets.
The bars in the center of the glass door are for your hands.
Put your dishes in the sink, rinse them off [...]

I often hear people say, about people they work with who are bad at their jobs, “He’s better off working in the drive thru at [insert fast food joint here]“. I used to feel the same way, but now I realize, from working at a Taco Bell drive thru that it is hard work [...]

Its sad to say that working in the service industry doesn’t give [...]

The first 3 years were fun, enjoyable, and challenging! The call center was bustling, and we were expanding rapidly. We went from 10 customer service reps to 30 in 3 years !. Geeks On Call had calls that were coming in and we were making appointments left and right… then last November we all heard [...]

I worked for McDonald from 6/08 to 7/09 and it was the worst experience of my life. I was 16 at the time i first got it. The store I worked in had NO AC so we would sweat in the summer especially if I was in the grill area.They would make me work 7 [...]

My name is Jane and I have been a nurse for 24 years. I feel depressed because of the awful career choice I made and no one ever prepared me for these horrors that being a nurse entales. Can I sue someone for THAT?!
First of all, I used to be a vivacious, happy, loving life [...]

I started the program with some experience not as a cna or nurse but something close to it in a nursing facilty. There [...]

I like reading all these stories of people working fast food and retail and referring to it with terms such as: hell, bullshit, and really hard work. I like reading about people complaining about hours, managers, co-workers… etc etc. Well, I’ll let you know how it goes down here in the MES-TEX 7519 Hub (Mesquite, [...]
