Tell me 2 things you like about your job and 2 things you dislike.

I shall go first:

1. I like that I donut have to deal w the public, I only interact w my coworkers.
2. I like my hours. I have to wake up earlier than most but then I have so much day afterwards and it's great.

1. I dislike prepping seafood. Sorting through mussels is gross af and cutting salmon takes forever and the scales get everywhere.
2. I'm not a fan of how much one of my managers swears at everyone. He's nice most of the time but he has a terrible temper.
 
Like
  • I work with animals (mostly dogs and the occasional cat)!
  • My coworkers are all decent people, incl. my managers and fellow supervisors.
Dislike
  • My salary isn't the greatest (although it is a bit above the state minimum wage).
  • I'm literally now immune to the stench of dog shıt.

I wish I could become immune to certain horrible smells. It's been over a year and I still gag everytime I wash mussels
 
Re: Q

Like:
1. It would've been good pay.
2. I could work with another person and not have to interact with the clients.

Dislike:
1. They didn't call me back when I called and left a message,
2. so I didn't get the job.

x I like being able to think outside of the box and make creative decisions at my job.
x I like being left to my own devices and being trusted to do my job well without much direction or hovering.

Dislikes
x Holy smokes, the amount of work expected of me every day gives me heart palpitations.
x I don't get paid enough for this shìt.

Those dislikes are too real :c I empathize.
I am gelatin of the trust/lack of hovering. The manager I have who throws temper tantrums is also a huge control freak and micro-manages everything everyone does. What sort of creative decisions do you get to make?

I know but the fact that the smell of dog poop is "normal" to me because I smell it constantly is just so weird. Although I suppose it would be better than frequently gagging or making a face during my shifts like some of my [younger] coworkers do

1. My pay is $13 an hour with paid overtime

2. I get to work by myself most of the time which makes me my own boss.

Dislikes

1. Sometimes there’s a 30 minute overlap which means one worker comes in 30 minutes before I leave. It’s fine but there’s one coworker who I hate a lot. He constantly wants to chat with the baristas and avoids the tasks he is supposed to do if I am working with him. I end up staying 15-30 minutes over to complete things he chose to ignore.which I get paid for this time but it’s still frustrating.

2. Human contact.

I am sorry to hear that. That sounds obnoxious.

I get to decide where fixtures, clothing and accessories go on the floor pad, the outfits I put on the mannequins, what product to push forward and how. :)

Yay for jobs with a lack of humans. I swear, I used to think my job opportunities were limited since I don't like being around strangers and I'd end up working in a factory or smthing

In no particular order:
  • There is a lot of wine and drinking involved, and I don't pay for very much of it.

    There is also a lot of really good food involved. Again, I don't pay for very much of it. People are usually very happy to exchange food for wine. :D
Dislikes

  • I've recently been 'promoted' and my new position involves a lot less human interaction, which I'm beginning to learn I actually didn't mind as much as I thought.

    *says in a nasty French accent* Sebastien
    He's my fellow manager over wholesale. He's so much better at it than me, and that disgusts me. He's like, a natural. Smh. He's so annoying -.-
    name was changed for privacy ?
