If mods think this is too similar to the employment thread >>>/ot/1962884 they can delete it. I thought it would be nice to have a thread for discussing wagie jobs (retail, food, service sector stuff for a low wage) specifically.

Try to do my job, and a fugly redneck scrote that's old enough to be my father jokes about sticking needles up his ass. I need to look for another job. I hate the "people" I have to help here. The management quality is quite poor anyway.

Types of customers that annoy me (in no particular order)
>People who are talking on the phone when I'm trying to serve them.
I hate "interrupting" every few moments to ask if they want condiments, salads, cheese, etc. And it's just plain rude to be on the phone while someone else is interacting with you.
>People who try to get me to reopen the deli after it's closed. Especially if they're rude when I refuse service. I need to clean up and go home. Should have come in during the eight and a half hours we're open if buying a sandwich is that important.
>People who request 10-20 sandwiches with no warning.
It takes up so much time and other people need to be served. Plus the counter is basically empty for the next customers afterwards. And other people have places to be, I'm sure as a customer it's annoying to join a queue that you think will go fast because there's not many people in front of you, just to be stuck behind someone waiting for their stupid amount of sandwiches. At least call up an hour or even 30 minutes beforehand if you're going to get sandwiches for everyone in your workplace so that we can prepare more food for the other customers and have your sandwiches done by the time you arrive to pick them up.
>People who are super specific about how they want their sandwich to be done.
If you want the tomatoes chopped extremely fine or something like that then make your own sandwich at home. I ain't got time for this. Once I had a woman who tried to get me to dice up a rotisserie chicken for her sandwich, which is time consuming and quite messy (I refused, but who fucking asks for a chopped rotisserie chicken in their sandwich). You can have what's in the counter or leave.
>People who mumble their order. It's noisy AF in the kitchen between the ovens, fryers, dishwasher, timers going off, etc. I hate having to ask them what they want a second or third time because they're speaking quietly and then looking at me like I'm dumb when I ask them to repeat themselves.
>Anyone who comes in shortly before closing.
Fuck you. I want to clean up and go home. Every minute I spend serving someone who decides to come in last minute is a minute I could have spent cleaning. Last week there were a bunch of people who came in 30 mins before closing. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

being a janitor is sometimes funny because we really, really do not register as actual human beings to other people, sometimes i even get these freaky out of body moments when i honestly feel just very inhuman like i've become souless or something kind of like an out of body experience because i am basically treated like i was a piece of furniture or something, it's such a freaky feeling anyway it's funny sometimes because people will just talk all this absolutely wild shit around me without any care because they don't think me hearing it matters at all and i know so much gossip about the people i clean for lmao

Off-topic random shit thread but the only rule is DO NOT TALK ABOUT MOIDS.

Doesn't matter if it's scrotes you hate, moids you love, scrotes you are attracted to, moids you aren't attracted to, scrotes you personally know, moids you don't personally know, scrotes that literally just exist, husbandos, yaoi, bara, het ships, nonexistent men, hypothetical men (including even God or Jesus), men's opinions, none of these things are allowed ITT. NO PICTURES of moids (including animated moids) allowed either. This also includes trannies since they are men. If an anon mentions males ITT, report immediately and do not respond.

>But why?
It's exhausting and annoying to see anons talking about nothing but moids over and over.

>Isn't this thread redundant?
If only.

>But what about-
Real life animals are fine but otherwise just follow the Rule of thumb: if you have to ask then it most likely belongs elsewhere so don't even bother.

Yeah it definitely feels like we're in some kind of bubble or teetering on the edge of a recession and nobody wants to be the first to admit it. No companies are actually hiring, or if they are, they are hiring juniors or H1B1 workers way below average salary. Ditto with the resume thing. I've adjusted my resume countless times, added keywords, tested in with ATS and watched those 'how to improve your resume' videos kek and nothing seems to work. Gotta just keep looking I suppose, it's really just a number game with how many fake listings and recruiters shilling their own companies despite having no work

No. 2470128

>>2469294
>i have a feeling none of these jobs are real and all of the listings online are fake jobs
This is done on purpose. If a company has a "necessary" position that they can't fill, they receive tax breaks from the government. What ends up happening is that companies abuse this by having eternally empty job positions that aren't meant to be filled. To keep up the pretense, they'll advertise these positions to hire on popular job boards and accept resumes and sometimes even interviews, but it's all just to scam the government for tax reasons.

There’s this one job listing on the website of a specialised employment agency I’m signed up with that’s been online for almost 6 months now. It’s in my town, which is rare because most companies of this nature are in the next town over, and it’s something I am 100% qualified for and have several years of experience in. I applied but didn’t receive a confirmation email, and the website was acting up and appeared to have deleted my account so I registered a second time (with the same email address) a week later and applied again, then received two separate rejection emails several weeks apart claiming that I wasn’t qualified for this position. It’s still online six months later and pops up in every job search alert I have set up at least twice a week. I’ve asked around and nobody can figure out which company this could be, because there aren’t many institutions doing this particular kind of research in my town and the few that exist wouldn’t use a recruitment agency. I’m starting to feel like I’m being catfished, like this is the job searcher equivalent of those Hot Singles In Your Area adverts.

What really drives me up the wall is that so many people I know (who’ve been consistently employed for the last decade at least) are insisting that it should be totally easy to find a job and everyone’s hiring. Source: their ass, I’m guessing. One of these people let herself get memed into quitting her job and taking a year off for ‘self care’ and I’m so anxious on her behalf, because her job is in the kind of field that’s especially subject to budget cuts and layoffs. The job she had was relatively safe because she was so senior but now she’s thrown that away to play at being a housewife instead.

Technically we have been in a recession by most traditional metrics for several years now, but I was a teenager during the 2008 recession and I don't remember it being that bad. I heard some upperclassmen complaining about it but it wasn't 'apply for 100+ jobs per month and get zero interviews' bad. It does feel like something has permanently shifted about the ways jobs are even advertised, tbh. I tried all the 'hacks' with the ATS checkers, changing keywords every single time I submit my resume, trying different layouts etc. but nothing seems to make any difference even though I've overwhelmingly been applying to jobs I'm technically qualified for and which can't be receiving THAT many applications.

>>2470128
>>2470146
I'm so sure a lot of them aren't fake companies or anything like that, and I wonder if it's possible for the job listings themselves to be fake in many cases because many are companies with good reputations but I'll see them reposting the same job listing for 6 months in a row at this point, have every single hard and soft qualification in their list and get ghosted or some generic 'you were not chosen at this time' rejection email. So clearly they're not filling the position with some nepo hire either, they keep reposting the same job.

Whitefishers (pretending to be white)

This is a thread to discuss and talk about different online personalities who are racefishing.
