I don't tend to give up on things very quickly and will suffer through many injustices before I finally let something go. I was a daycare teacher at my last job and I finally quit (and reported the place) after being asked to lie on "accident reports," which are forms explaining why children recieced various boo-boos, and being asked to come into work with a 103° fever to work with infants who are susceptible to illness because they did not staff properly. It took me two years to quit.
What the actual fūck tho. This is why i'm terrified to be a mama, so many babysitters and daycares are shady af
I tend to stick with my jobs way past the point that i feel like i'm dying inside. The very first job I quit was after a year and a half-ish. My boss paid us less than minimum wage, had us selling things like lottery and cigarettes (which was illegal since all of us were underage except this one lady who was a 22 yo immigrant who barely spoke english) and she paid us all in cash so she could evade taxes. She was also just very rude and got very involved in my personal life in a weird way (i never spoke about myself to her but my mom would shop there sometimes and they would chat about me at depth.) I was like 13 when i started and kinda timid so i never said anything when i realized i was getting less than minimum wage. By the time i quit i realized why she only hired naive teenagers and immigrants and peaced out. I yelled at her, her husband and the lady who couldn't speak English and i wilted the celery w hot water so it had to be chucked. I am less petty now.
Yeah, I feel the same way now. I was an incredible daycare teacher- I was even recognized by the state- but I would never choose to send my future child to daycare for longer than a few hours a few times a week for socialization purposes after what I experienced there.
ty qt. Am over it now tbh is just kind of a weird memory now. Her store is also closed now (idk why tho) so huzzah justice
My first “job”. I was around 16 and I had just gotten a job as a greeter at Six Flags Magic Mountain. (Hooray) So the job basically consisted of greeting guests at the gate and directing them either to parking or towards the park. Pretty much it would either be you and your manager stuck together or you and another person who would also be faking a smile and ready to quit on the spot. It was dead of summer so it would be about 100-105 and you’d either be of course attending towards guests at the front of the gates or you’d be in this little hot box directing guests towards parking. It wasn’t fun. It was very soul crushing for like $400 every two weeks. I ended up quitting after 4 weeks and once I quit I remember my manager laughing at me saying she dint think I’d even last a week :lol:
Jobs I don't really nope out of. My current job has me going in a lot of crazy places in people's homes. Crawlspaces with snakes, 140 degree attics, we're really not allowed to say no for very few exceptions. One is roach infestation. I got to my job site, residential, and this home had probably 100 visible cockroaches from the front door. I thought most of them hid, but they were just crawling on the walls. I told them they need to contact an exterminator 1st...
I worked at subway for a day and I got a better job offer. I'm a pretty hard worker so I'd probably stay just cause I felt bad
I clocked in, noticed I hated the environment, left and didn’t come back. From that day on I knew I’d have to work with animals because I despise working in a human-only place.
