Working in places in which the male to female ratio is tipped in favor of the women never gives you a comfortable environment. Give a woman you work with (keyword WITH, not FOR) any opportunity to make herself feel superior by being a bitch to someone for a stupid reason, and it doesn't matter if she started years after you, she'll do it.

Can none of you understand what is happening?

Most places will give the new people a hard time, this is so that you can fucking PROVE yourself.

Everyone working there has already proven themselves, they have nothing to prove to you.

You want money? Work for it. Eventually you will gain their respect, but don't expect it in just a couple months.

Not true, I work at a McDonalds and regularly deal with people who have worked there for years and are absolute shit employees. I've only worked there for 8 months and I have always had a harder work ethic. They like to insist I'm not good at my job but all the people in the morning shift say I'm fast and compliment m.e Also the night crew constantly makes me work grill by myself so they can talk and goof off. They even asked me to start closing again so they could have "a hard worker who will actually do shit," to quote them back. But I'd rather deal with less stress and work more comfy hours.

This. When I first started working somewhere, almost all of my managers were men, with only one woman who was actually really cool. Then a few months later, there was a huge overhaul of the place and a change in management. All of the managers got transferred and were replaced by all women, all of them an absolute pain to work with (bitches and whores). I no longer looked forward to work, I fucking hated it. Whereas before, I was often complimented for a job well done, and had a lot of bro-to-bro conversations with the managers, I was now constantly being nagged at for the littlest things, and just couldn't get along with my bosses. Couldn't take it anymore and quit.

I have an awesome one, I was doing an internship at a music shop.

Every now and then in music shops you have to sort the CDs back into the right order because people are stupid and ruin things for everyone. So I'm doing this and I've got everything neatly arranged and I'm carrying a massive stack of CD's, way above my head and I can barely see.

Stupid bitch comes up to me, raging her head off that she can't find an album and that it's probably in the wrong section.

Firstly, I tell her I'm really busy and there are a lot more people in the store she can ask for help, but if she gives me a second to sit down these CD's then I'll help her. Secondly, when she threatens to get the manager I tell her I'm only on an internship and the manager won't give a fuck.

But no, this isn't good enough and she metaphorically beheads me with her fucking voice. I drop all of my CD's, turn around and the album she's looking for is on the shelf behind me under the right band name, right at the start of the shelf.

I asked too many questions about why certain things were run they way they were, inefficient/unethical/etc. made the department manager look bad because I always knew what we needed to order and he never did

-blessing in disguise, time to leave anyway, never meant to be a career. Lesson learned: shut up and do your job, dont worry about anything else

I recently worked a gig as a canvasser. You know, the guys who knock on your door, forcing you to stop whatever you're doing to answer and listen to a canned greeting.

It's a sucker's job. The hours are shitty, pay is commission after two weeks, leaving you no time to look for work and no money for rent, bills, etc.

I'm glad I got my guaranteed money, then dipped.

I started doing the same thing, but quickly realized I needed to cut it out before they got sick of my shit. Some people don't want to be told how you could do something more efficiently. It's a fucking shame to continue doing a job so inefficiently, but I have family members that I have to support. I need this shit job.

I probably should have, but I was 19 and living with my parents at the time. My stepfather kept calling me lazy, worthless, etc because I wasn't in college. I kept it just so I didn't look like a leech. When I quit, I moved out of the house and enrolled in a university.

There was also an old woman in charge of the front end. I can't cashier because of a disability. (Management knew this but still made me cashier.) Whenever I told them "hey, I have so and so disability, I can't do this, management already knows. I'm sorry" They'd drag me up front and leave me there. It usually happened on the busiest days.

Anyway, the head of the front end did her whole routine, and like usual I told her I can't do it because of my disability. She literally screamed at the top of her lungs at me (calling me lazy, worthless etc) in front of at least thirty customers, people started walking out of the store.

Another one, just as bad, I only ever work at restaurants, so i probably deserve it.

Also i should explain, I'm not an assburger, i only never talked to anyone because they were all total fucks, me and the owner got along like a house on fire, i just didn't like anyone there.
So
>work at another restaurant, waiter this time
>huge staff, about 20 or more people
>only ever really work with 4 people, one guy and 3 girls
>start getting close-ish to one of the girls
>we start hanging out after work, i start driving her home (she was underage b&)
>boss calls (he was a fucking wanker)
>"You're fired, don't bother coming in tommorow"
>"why?"
>"because we don't want co-workers dating and girl has been here longer than you and does a better job"
>"but there are 2 married couples working together, and 4 couples dating, who are younger than us, and we aren't even dating"
"yeah bu..." (i cut him off)
>"not to mention the fact that you girlfriend works here, what the fuck?)
>i don't appreciate your tone *hangs up

I kept seeing the girl for a little bit, she found out from one of the other people i worked with that the bosses brother (who was this fat-beast assburger who washed the dishes) had a crush on my girl, i choose the worst fucking jobs.

I work in a gas station, I'm the only white person there, every other employee is indian.

I'm not racist at all, I don't even care about the colour of our skin, but my GOD I fucking hate the customers.

"Ohhh it's good to see one of us working here for a change!"
"Hey are you in the right place? GET IT?"
"You're so much nicer than the other people here, I hate them!"

And I fucking hate it when I am in the back, come out front, realise straight away that the customer was being an arrogant and racist prick to the person on counter, and see them look at me and shut up.

FUCK. That's the only thing I hate about my job.

I'm not sure where you picked up the attitude that you have to please everyone around you, but while it is a commendable one, it is also worthless. When I go to work, I do so for money. That's it. I clock in, I fulfill my responsibilities, and I leave. Friendships, respect, and everything else comes secondary to me earning my money, and allowing any of that to take priority is a foolish mistake. You should be working hard for a promotion, not so you can be greeted with smiles by those you work with.

You obviously don't understand how minimal wage jobs work. Without the support of your peers, you will not get to work and you will not get the hours you need to make money.

Wow, reading this thread, I realized how lucky I have it. I'm currently on my first job ever at a mom-n-pop grocer. It's co-run by two gay guys who are actually really cool and chill. I get along well with pretty much everyone there, which is a far cry from all the bitches n whores stuff that I'm hearing, so I guess I got really lucky.

That said, I used to have a bro that worked there, and we were really tight. He just got fired a few weeks ago, which really saddened me.

>>Get a job at a gamestop in a smallish city/town. Only one in the area.
>>This is the second Gamestop I have been employed at, left the first due to moving.
>>After I start, I find it is not much like the other one. the manager promotes competition, not teamwork.

>>I got awkward glances for picking an unboxed, used 360 off the floor.
>>I got dressed down inf ront of everyone for not promoting the purchase of a subscription and game reserves to a couple that had to run to the car for change to finish paying for their order.
>>The manager wouldn't schedule anyone but the senior staff until the week had already started, and you would be lucky to get 4 hours.
>>I would be called in and asked to come in ASAP, frequently. This was how they intended to work me, on call only it seemed.
>>Had to go far up the highway for a store meeting, did not get full gas/time reimbursement.
>>Midnight launch, told to manage a line that doesn't exist outside of the store in enar freezing weather. Manage comes out after an hour and a half. I ask him to switch me out with someone else, I am feeling bad.
He starts asking me how long I can be in tomorrow. I ask if I can come in first. He dresses me down again, so I just say early. I get to come in, for about 8 minutes, then outside for another hour.

Oh, my first job experience was freaking great.
Argentinafag here btw.

Aside from me messing around with computers and gadgets since I was 13, I decided to apply for a job in late Junior year. (was 17 at the time).

I went to every computer repair/tech support place in the city, applied to be a technician. Even applied to a ciber-security firm (they wanted to hire me but couldn't, me being 17.).

I got accepted at 4 of the places , but the most "prestigious" of the businesses told me that they were looking for someone with "online" experience. I quickly told them I had and went with their CEO for an interview, I quickly got told that they were making a new department for their company, I promptly got interviewed and got the job a few days later.
So my first job was DOD (Director of Online Department).

Little did they know that by the first month I learned all I could about these kinds of businesses and was actually starting my own.

Been self employed since then. currently expanding all operations.

Fired for working too hard an making all those slackers look bad. It wasn't even hard, just things like "xyz account has an error on it, can you fix it?" or "we need more abc, can you order it?" with the occasional high level complaint, maybe like one of those a day and they only take 30 minutes.

this is true, if the woman is naturally a conniving bitch

i worked in a deli for 2 years. many of the older lifers there who were women loved me because i was a nice guy. however, there were a couple of women there who nobody really liked (grumpy old cunts) that REALLY hated me....not only because they were older and felt they should have superiority, but also because they were jealous that a lot of the other women liked me more than them.

once a bitch, alway a bitch. but not all women are bitches.

Honestly, being much older and wiser now I can see his wisdom. My first few jobs were pretty shitty (ha! get it?) and it taught me that you gotta man up, don't let crazy bitches get to you, and get a DAMN education so you don't wind up shoveling shit for real.

I WAS mad at him for a while, and a little while back he basically admitted "yeah that was a pretty terrible job, lol." Then he got me burgers.

but there manager was a bit of a plonker too...
after a while, people got on with me (about 2 month maybe.) and I start getting overtime (39 hours a week instead of my usual 9.) then anytime I dont want to accept overtime, manager tries to guilt trip me saying "this is how you act after everything we have done for you?" *refering to giving me overtime.*

now I am one of the best workers there, work with 4 girls, 1 is a fat lazy shit who is always on her phone,
the other is chubby and always talks and moans.
the other is a milf and the other is a slutty old woman (well 34 or summin.)

I get on with them all, but it makes my job hard as fuck since I need to move cages in the smallest backstore ever and if I don't move cages, I can't get my stock. I move cages, bitches moan, because they sit and talk all the time if they just done their work, they could finish their isles in like 1 - 2 hours, I can finish mines (hardest of them all.) in about 1.5 - 2 hour
I even done all their isles one day (3 isles.) and finished it quicker than they finish 1.

hopefully when I am 18 I get bumped up to supervisor however my hypothesis is they will not give me a promotion since none of the other dipshits can do my job cause they are all too slow and too weak.
