UPS

they would keep us there as late as they needed and only give us a 10 minute break

Did you get free coffee/a hot drink during your break tho?

Worked in a warehouse once where you had to pay if you wanted a cup of coffee/a hot drink

The owner sometimes even came by when we were on our break and would get one for himself, for free, and drink it in the same room as us and we won’t get s***

Man I hated that fat f***

how much was it?

Not that much, 80 cents or something.

4 oz cup?

We just casually skipping over the fact this nigga was working with the cartel and still said home depot worse than that

Man I don’t know

We talking milliliters here in the EU

It was miserable, terrible management as well and they were highkey scamming customers

Working at FYE sucked
District manager was a hamster faced c*** and my boss was nice but her p**** consistently stank so bad I could smell it 5 feet away literally

at the same time it made for fascinating people watching because weirdos love that store

You could change the price if any item and nobody really checked behind you so I ended up giving a lot of s*** away for 50-80% off

Also Kirk Franklin pulled up to the store one time lmao

this is a f***ing WILD set of sentences

Typical sb post

Asking people in the street to donate their blood

Worked at a cardboard/boxes factory where we had to build big ass cardboard boxes and bend that s*** every day

I started developing 'trigger fingers' because of it (the fingers could not bend properly, it would bend like in straight lines only)

one day I got my finger stapled with a hydraulic staple gun

Also working in a cardboard factory

The boxes would come out of the machine in the wrong position so i had to push them a few inches to the left with my finger

Got fired for not being passionate about it and being on ktt too much

Lmao no way

lol I got fired because I got my finger stapled, also people in my team expected me to work like them (people with more than 5 years exp there)

my boss didn't even wanted to help me she said go to the hospital because I'm busy

I didn't even had a car I had to wait for the bus with the staple through my finger on my way there I saw the boss of the factory driving in his convertible

ngl never had an outright terrible work experience. even working warehouse unloading a bunch of bedding was cool because I was with my best friend and the crew was friendly. it wasn't a regular thing tho

had a terrible experience volunteering though, just total confusion and been doing a bunch of random pointless s***. ppl acted like I owed them that opportunity and I dont even include that s*** in my resume. promised ill never ever work for free again

Horrible company’s all the callcenters.

I hate them.

Made the mistake of getting an digital NRC subscription once. Never read it so cancelled it immediately. This was years ago but I keep getting stalked by their callcenters with different numbers. After I blocked the number from Amsterdam they call with the number from Groningen

Working a jewelry stand at a market. These crackaz would look at me like I’m about to steal their money.

They let me smoke weed all day

One time my supervisor said " ey flaco how we gonna sell weed if your smoking it all"

I was smoking a blunt, had one on my ear and just finished rolling two

Worked at Miniso

First day I got 0 training they just put me on the floor and told me to make new displays

But the floor was full so I had to put stuff in the back to make room but I had no idea what sold well or not and they just told me to observe and figure it out 😭

Dunkin donuts during school. S*** was so ass lol so busy and you work with a bunch of old people who dont give a f*** and just hang out in the back, if you’re closing its just you and one other person and people are just super rude to you.

Ship's cook on a fishing trawler in the North Pacific. We wore seatbelts to bed because of how rough the seas were. There were many days of beans and toast for breakfast. It's pretty damn difficult to put together anything more complex than that in those conditions. The sense of doom that overcame me on the day I tried to cheer the crew up with a smoked salmon eggs Benedict while we were facing twenty foot swells in the Gulf of Alaska... that feeling will never leave the back of my head.
