Nah, it's worse than Burger King for work apparently =P
as someone who actually worked in burger king for a while i do not believe this one bit
it differs from place to place and if you are lucky you get a manager and supervisor team and fellow staff who aren't (various list of bad words) and working there is bearable but like
no i wasn't so lucky when i was in burger king i ended up with this awful woman and yes lets just leave it at the fact that she was the type of manager who was like YES WE'LL SELL ALL THE ONION RINGS to her line manager and then make it our fault if people literally did not want onion rings omg
fast food is a lot harder than you'd think if anyone here has ever had to work in it you will know EXACTLY what i am on about
you kind of never look at being on the other side of the counter again and whoop you are suddenly understanding when your order gets messed up instead of demanding free meals like everyone else does haha not kidding when i think everyone should have worked fast food or retail at least once in their life so whoop they'd learn some humility for once and know that its not just "a place for wasters" or "har har you made fun out of me in high school"
and omg don't think the childish crap you find in school stops in any manner when you go into the world of work oooooooooooooooooooh no
childish petty grudges can end up getting fairly innocuous people fired i've legit heard stories of people being fired all cos they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and the actual person to blame is still working there and is being promoted and the managers know it was him but they don't really care
Maybe not, but I doubt the longer-term career prospects in fast food are as good as those in other tracks.
There does come a point where most people want to do something more than flippin' burgers. While a job is a job, it's those stuck there for the rest of their lives that are more likely to lose out.
haha ok i've rewritten and deleted and rewritten my reply to this about 10000 times and like
all it boils down to is like
(i mean like i think ive got the point of this post wrong anyway but like eh i need to vent off about this re: work anyhow)
even with a degree like unless you have a standout skill or know the right people or made a different choice 5 years prior then a "dead end job" with no escape is going to be a lot harder to get out of especially if you are a graduate and they fed you with all that bull about a degree making you instantly employable with no effort on your behalf
you've got a chance if you're a pre-uni person working a dead end job
if you're a graduate working a dead end job then its a liiiiiiiiiittlle harder if not a lot harder
like some graudates i know are like "i sent my CV off to three places and none replied harrumph" and its like did they not teach you how to look for a job in uni or something like 3 CVs is a laughable amount like did you write a cover letter did you tailor your CV to that job and they end up going back home and living with their parents for the rest of their lives
jobsearching is a horribly uphill struggle ngl i've been there literally its like if you're an ugly puppy in a petshop like literally no-one will want you unless you have a "cute bark" or w/e
Wow this thread sure makes me feel good about myself working in a ~dead end job~
haha uh as someone who
i assume
is/was doing the same as i did (working full time and trying to get into uni or equivalent) i have nothing but the utmost respect cos unless you're like under a certain teenager age (so you can get all the under 19 discounts) or have rich parents it is difficult as hell and i offer the most sincere fistbump of compassion to anyone in a dead end job trying to get out omg
literally sometimes the job kills your ability to care about trying to get out any more but like
keep fighting! im rooting for ya.
it legit took me 3-4 years to get to uni all because of certain setbacks and a long story haha but i got there in the end
Like i said earlier thanks guys !
@sylar: i have nothing against people working at mac donalds i just used it to motivate myself to stop being mopey. K
the most sage advice i can give you right now is
you will come out the other end like just try to ignore the crap they give you
if you're a bit unlucky you'll be a bit dented but you get a lot more experience of Life undenting yourself than otherwise and you'll be a lot better functioning then the people who weren't depressed and unhappy in the first place let me tell you that it was a bit rubbish being bullied but i dont think i'd be half the person i am today unless i was bullied a bit in school and had to learn to get on with it
for now just focus on getting through it and DO NOT GIVE UP AT ALL
and make sure you get as much advice and info and plan as MUCH as you possibly can to make sure you are able to do better than the people who annoy you
of course watch out you don't fall into the trap of arrogance too it's a hard thing to get the balance of
like legit if i could tell 17 year old me to watch out for certain things and that other things weren't the way they seemed omg haha and that no don't do all humanities a levels do a science a level
but then i might not have met the people i did this year and haha idk i
don't think i'd be as happy as i am now with the people i know purely by being in the right place at the right time omg
like legit start looking into at least outlining career plans now and researching up about it cos believe me it is never too early to start haha like legit find out the truth not just what leaflets claim
like i was almost going to go into pharmacy before i got told some very good advice and i ended up going into chemistry instead
