The Miniature Jobs Rant

((Typing this very quickly while at work, I am not checking spelling or grammar so don't bother me with the mistakes I made. Thx.))

In my entire working career, I have never tried to understand the complex workings that make up the job market. In no way are any of them logical in the long run. Like how everyone wants to hire someone with expiriance, but no one will hire anyone without it, so how can anyone get it?

Or all these people who sit on the cell phones at work, ignoring customers to ask their friends about when to hang out... or the people with just plain old shitty attitudes. You know what, lady behind the register, there are so many people out there who would take your job and smile about it, so stop looking like you hate being here and suck it up or quit.

For instance, I got stuck in a job I couldn't stand, but I put on my game face and I promise you none of the customers or co-workers or bosses knew that I spent the whole day planning on what I was going to say to quit. Let someone who will enjoy it here, or who is desperate enough to make it look like they're happy, work here. Let me find somewhere that better suits me.

And don't give me the "I only have this job cause I need it" crap because if you are that much in need of a job you should at least make it look like you enjoy what you do. It's not hard to smile you know. Try it.

And employers who lie or tell half-truths... or leave out information entirely while interviewing and hiring you are fucking stupid. This has happened to me three times, and I quit all three jobs. One, I lasted a few months, 4 to be exact, because the place was connected to my current job and I didn't want to be a bitch so I helped them through busy season and then trained two new people to take my place. The next one I left after 2 weeks of shitty training and the confession that I would barely have any hours. The last, I went for one day, and decided the people and the business just were not for me. One Day.

Maybe if you told your future employees the truth, not so many of them would quit.

Just saying.
