I just quit a retail job after 3 weeks. Why? No training - absolutely none - and the boss they assigned me to had not taken a bath in - oh, maybe a month? Plus, a busted computer. But the worst was having no idea what I was doing while feral customers were showing slavering teeth and gums!
I’m generally a very hard worker, extremely punctual, but I was not going to put up with nonsense.
Note to employers: you get as good as you give.
“Note to employers: you get as good as you give.”
I’m sure there’s a lot of truth to that, and the shoe fits the other foot as well. As an employer, I have hired literally tens of dozens of people to get 3 good people in 30 years. The work force in this country has a poor attitude about what it takes to be good employees, which will earn them a decent day’s wages for a decent day’s efforts. Most employees do not care if the company they work for succeeds until they see it close up because it cannot remain profitable.
My son is looking for work, and is doing temp work at the present. He was one of 16 people hired to arrange seats for a concert at the local university. The agency needed to fill five positions, and that was all that showed up. So 5 out of 16 hires come to work when they are out of work at the present?
That’s pathetic!
“Note to employers: you get as good as you give.”
With the massive incompetence at all levels in every company, don’t ever expect much.
