i get it’s a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.
and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i’ve seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i’m just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it’s a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.
I’m going to have to agree with you. I feel bad for the people that have really bad jobs and really bad pay but so many times I see people that can’t even perform the bare minimum of their job and I’m confused about why they have a job to begin with. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old but it seems to be getting worse lately ever since the pandemic. Honestly I think that all the schooling from home during the pandemic has made a port impact on our youth’s education. I by no means expect everything to be perfect, we are all humans after all but I do have a bare minimum expectation and a lot of the times that’s just not being met.
Exactly.
And please don’t anyone get me wrong, I’m in no way saying “Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!” or “Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs”, I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain’t-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h’s worth. If you’re in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven’t rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny’s worth of labour above $7/h.
But there’s a difference between ‘doing 125% when you’re being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free’ and ‘well I don’t care about this job so I’m not even going to attempt the literal minimum.’ If you’re getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.
You literally ended your post with “phone the boss lol”.
