My first job after school was being construction site electrician, where I would clock around 52-60 hours a week and sometimes work on weekends, for around 600 euros a month. I lasted 2 months after I talked to a co-worker about my wage, and then tried pressuring my boss to give me better payout. He tried telling me that I should be happy, that I even have this job since I barely have any experience. To which I replied that I could work at Tesco and make more without any experience, and exhaust myself less. And I left that day. The next month I got hired by another company which paid me 2.5x as much, and provided me with more benefits and less work hours. The thing I got from this is that most bosses are full of shit, and you shouldn't be attached to them.

I threw in the towel while working two jobs and going for mechanical engineering.

Their "reasoning" was that i was supposed to call them every day I was going to be late. Why? I already had told them I'd be there at 730 on Mondays and Wednesdays and I was more productive than 90% of the entitled shits I worked with. Then I had a differential equations professor who refused to even direct me to where I could get a tutor because I was always late to his class due to my day job. Not to mention, I wanted some freaking semblance of a social life. After dropping out of thermo twice, I haven't been back to school. I got my associates before at community college if that even means anything, but I've found that my work speaks for itself and I can actually live fairly comfortably for the time being working one job that teaches me useful skills and because I'm not lazy and decently educated I got supervisor status within 6 months of starting

Damn. Makes me feel good about my own life.

Best managers ive ever had still. The unfortunate part however, is that I was waking up at 6am, going to school until 5pm then working until 12 everyday to make enough money to pay for my studies and all my expenses as I didn't want to feel like a burden to my parents, which gave up their entire life and family to make sure I had a better future.

Ok, as someone who lives in Russia, and have been doing various remote jobs for international companies, I have a couple of advises for the Eastern European fellas: 1) I stand behind whatever Gattsu said about call centers. I'd be more willing to sell crack in Botswana than work this shit for the conditions and wages they propose. 2) Usually, if you wanna get a decent job with more or less adequate conditions, you wanna avoid bigger companies (i.e. more than 100-150 people). 3) Don't work in sales, this shit is something that will suck every molecule of happiness out of your body and will make you hate everything and kill yourself. 4) Customer support jobs (ones, that don't involve calls) are actually the best kind of jobs you can get, if you just wanna sit there and do jack shit. That, and HRs 5) Don't work for promotions, just switch jobs, and lie in your CV if it's legal in your country (but if you're in Eastern Europe working remote jobs - nobody gives a shit), this shit works better And also, avoid red flags, when applying to a company: a) Corporate cringe. The "Wee-woo, we're one big happy family" bullshit b) Spyware. If they wanna set this shit up for you as a remote worker, unless you work with some sort of shit, that involves potential security breaches for servers\important financial shit, it's a red flag. c) Company is based in the US, and is run by someone from the US. These shitheads are the worst scum of the earth when it comes to working with people on outsource. No exceptions Even though it might seem like all doom and gloom, I've actually had more good experience than bad experience throughout my 6 years of work. It's just that jobs, that require no experience, always suck dick. So just be a player, don't get them corporate cunts drag you down. And always have a rainy day fund to just fucking survive. This will save you a lot of nerves and your dignity(Last point was learned the hard way)

[@demox4435]

I worked a bunch of minimum wage jobs in Germany. 9 euros was usually what the bosses would offer me for keeping thier company afloat. Because while the workers are treated as replaceable, if I don't show up to bake the bread, fill up the displays and put coffee in the machines, if no one gets fresh baking sheets, no one cuts the lines in the pretzels, no one punches thier codes into the machines my immidiate boss could only result to cold calling other people and having a fit. I'm severaly depressed, so sometimes, I'd no show on a Thursday morning. It's hard to get out of bed at 3:30, and it's even harder when everything in your head is screaming at you to jump into traffic. So sometimes, I'd just lay there. Watch the texts start flying in, then the calls. I'd ignore it all and just lay there. Felt pretty good actually. You can give your boss a middle finger three or four times, but you gotta be ready to jump ship when the rats left. I used to work two months, then inevitably start no-showing and just not show up anymore after some point. You had enough after a while. And you get to see what happens when people stop working. For a while, until the cash runs out, they are free. Unemployment is fucking beautiful and don't ever make yourself feel bad for not having a job. You actually provide society more by hanging out in a park and learning to play chess then by selling stuffed waffles in a candy colored uniform. ("they make you wear the hat" is one of the most depressing sentences in the English language). I forgot what I was going to say. Probably that you should start a union if your employed and help put each other when your unemployed. Which should, ideally, be the same thing. Be careful, the winters get cold, but this summer we get to make a change again.

my first job was working as a bartender in a nightclub. 40h/weeks plus overtime UK minimum wage (£6.56/h); shifts would often go well over 13 hours, and then I’d walk the 2 miles home (because fuck paying for a taxi), get as much sleep as I could then get my ass in gear for uni. Somehow kept it up for 5 months and I’m glad I’m out

[@SlowtownSloth]

Currently I'm working a pretty nice "call center" job, if you could call it that. We handle calls, but we also work with the warehouse on making sure our deliveries happen and coordinate with our managers. They're all nice as fuck too, even the head honcho who's a bit cracked out. $1,200 biweekly after taxes isn't so bad considering I do half the work I used to do. Plus they cater every now and again from big chains like Jersey Mike's and Chic-fil-A. We also just got a %4 pay bump too. Honestly I sometimes feel like I take it a bit for granted since my last job was a certain large pharmacy chain.

My first salary and only was being a day labourer because nobody wanted to hire me. A dollar for 12-14 hours of work and then an hour walking back home.I did this the whole summer vacation of 2 months and in the end I gathered 40 bucks because my employer didnt want to pay me no more saying that learning is well worth the time spent here,in the end I got him to agree to 0.50 dollars a 12-14 hour day. With that money I bought my first set of nice clothes which fit my M sized body ,not my obese family's 3XL clothes. Namely a white dress shirt,a pair of chinese jeans and a bus ticket. I wonder what makes me so unhirable,as I see my lazy peers get jobs for a wage above 2 dollars an hour. What they tell me is that "they know people",I guess this is the price to pay for being born to parents in their early 50s which have no friends or connections.

[@LowFlyer]

My first job was in a summer camp, lasted about three weeks before I quit. Not only did we each have to do our activities with the kids, we also had to be there for them 24/7. So whenever they stirred up some shit, we had to deal with it. On top of that, every weekend, we had to load up a "batch" of kids onto their buses and bring in the new group. It was around 650 of them per week, so on moving day that meant around 1300 suitcases we had to bring to and load onto the buses. All in all it was roughly 50 hours per week or active work, plus minor work during off hours. The fucking cherry on top was that all 40 of us lived in a communal house where 10 of us would share a huge room with lockers at one end. Being in the mountains, you know that place also got fucking freezing at night. The pay? 100 euros per week. Idk how i made it, but fuck me was that one whole rollercoaster of emotions. No shock the employee turnover was insanely high, we had coworkers leave and new ones come in every few days

[@alvydasjokubauskas2587]

I also worked in Mc, after 1 month I decided I want to quit, low managers did not even allow me to write a resignation. Than it all came to directors. I kind of decided to stay for few more weeks, than quitted. First I wanted to work there when I was a child. Later in older age when I got opportunity I kind of understood my worth there, basically trash at best, it doesn't matter if you are polite or nice, you are trash. In the end for me university was way more important, and I found a courier job, which pays 2x per hour. I heard Mc would not allow you to take exams, lol you had to work as there is nobody who will take your shift lmao... I was like, really is this a student job or somekind of hell advertised as students job... There are many secrets in MC like how to eat for free, without camera spotting you, or smoking chemical that damages lungs and you cannot work for a week and your voice has changed... Also surviving other employees screaming at you like total idiots, because they are tired and don't want to work anymore at night shifts... The pay was like pennies lol, I don;t understand how prices are on par with Europe, but the pay is the worst in Europe... At least it did teach me a good lesson, and I did not go trough hell for 1 year or more... So I feel sad, that is why we try harder and harder.

I work 2 part time jobs, one being at KFC. My day consists of waking up at 6:30, going to school, sprinting to the train station to get to my job after school, get back to my dorm before midnight if I'm lucky, then cramming for school and working on my programming projects. Most days I'm running on 4 or less hours of sleep and now my teachers are getting angry that I'm closing my eyes in class. I feel like this is most people's experience with a first proper job. Trying to keep it together and failing miserably while realizing that maybe pay does matter and you won't be happy just having your own income like you thought you would. knowing I'm going to work again today I'm honestly expecting a mental breakdown any day. Never had one, but it feels like this is how they start. I didn't try to self-pity myself, I don't need to work there and I'm working hard to secure a job in a field and pay range I'm interested in.

As I grew older I felt as if I had no purpose and no understanding of life and the reason why I needed to get a good grade in school. I never knew that money was the only reason I had problems and then at the end of my high school year I finally understood why I needed to get a good grade in school so I did not have to go through the same shit moments my father went through. I have started a business selling websites, making advertisements and creating animations with logotypes. Yes it is fun but I feel as if life is a scam because I have a mentor who is teaching me how to make a LOT of money selling logos and he makes 15.000$ every month working 3 hours a day. I hope I don’t have to work the same shit type of job as my father did coming to Sweden, but still. Working hard does not equal a great pay.
