Is that some kind of summer job or something?

@SUPER MALE VITALITY™

No, been there for 2 years, I'm a bit more clear now that I've had some time to pull my shit together but it's a shitshow

How old were you?

Probably have worked with two dozen people that would have been excellent references had I left 3-6 months in, was 19 when I goy hired

Are you studying right now?

Since then all those competant people have quit though and I wasn't personal friends with any of them

Yeah

Then why do you keep that retarded job? For a couple of dollars that are going to be useless?

I'm paying for school out of pocket, it pays just enough to maintain my current lifestyle and keep me out of debt

Not that that means much

Ah, then it is the typical huge costs for schools in America

I'm going to be quitting in a couple weeks, my only perk is a few vacation days I have saved up that I'm scheduled fpr week after next

Good

Once I have all I've earned I'm finally nutting up and cutting my losses

But it's rough, because I now have a two year gap on my resume

Better to have some debt for the future from the remaining years, or looking for another job, or whatever, than reamining in that mess

And nobody left will vouch for me

Lmao who expects for people to work during university?

My folks

Only reason I can pay out of pocket is their roof

Which is misery but bearable considering my area's lowest rent is basically my whole quarterly tuition

Lmao why would your folks want you to have a petty low paying, low qualfication work that seems to be exploitation for homeless people?

Because they're 40 year old boomers who don't quite understand the job market

There are two job markets

There is the job market for failed people who desperately need a handful of dollars in their 40s, so having wasted their lives they only have these jobs available

Then thereis the job market for those who have actually developed skills/knowledge

Having the first while studying is hugely detrimental

So tell those boomers that you are focusing on your studies instead of being a mediocre idiot who sacrifices his future for being a wageslave in some department store

My dad worked his ass off and went places blue collar, he's a janitor now but blames himself and doesn't realize that's a product of the job market rejecting anyone without the paper that says you know things, my mom hadn't had a job in 20 years till she started working as a high school TA a couple years ago, so they still think if you're honest and hardworking that means literally anything in the corporate world

Being hardworking right now for you is finishing your studies with the highest possible grade

I wish

Basically unless I'm also piling on some kind of body-breaking labor school is nothing, because I was smart as a kid so they think I'm some 12000 IQ genius

At least with my last job I was happy busting my ass

This is miserable though, nobody ahould ever work in a place where you can go in at 11 AM and not realize you've hit 11 PM till the doors are shutting behind you

Lmau wut? You should have a contract that says exactly the time you have to work

Yeah, I have a schedule, but there are no windows and the light stays the same, and I work in the middle of the store. There is no visual difference between 9 AM and 10 PM

In the tedium it's easy to dissociate and lose a few hours

Dude

Do you know what a clock is?
