Macca's was a last resort for me. I never wanted to work there, and couldn't get a job anywhere else because employers want certain qualifications, or a certain grade pass, which I didn't have - and they were never willing to train anyone for the job.
Macca's was my last stop, and I have been there two years now. They trained me fully, so I am not at least somewhat qualified to find another, perhaps better, job. If I stay there long enough there could be a Management opportunity - most employees who have been there for 5+ years are in positions of management.

Sometimes, as I have said, you have no choice but to take a low paying job until something better comes along.

on the other hand, she goes into the job hunt elsewhere, only modestly more trained than where she began (only her current employer will recognize the skill set she has attained) and starts all over from the bottom somewhere else how does such a move advance her career? now, i am not saying do not keep your eyes open for a better opportunity. but the opportunity she finds will probably be offered by a competitor who recognizes her talent and work ethic at her present job. your recommendation sounded like that practice by many foolish American kids who enter the work force without skills and who jump from job to job for the promise of another quarter an hour increase, without giving themselves an opportunity to establish a skill set that can lead to a career or allow me to make my point another way. given what i have read from the both of you, the one who should be giving the other advice about the way the world works would be from her to you ... if only you would acquire the wisdom to listen to it |

If I were full time at work, I'd be earning about $520 per week, which would be more than enough to keep me affloat.

Huh? Also, not everyone is smart or motivated. Many people have disabilities, mental and physical. Why should we increase Bob the Manager's pay by 5% each year and Not increase Suzy the Drive Thru girl's pay a %? For an example... the company I work for... in the past 2 years the Director has received a 25% raise... the File Clerk has not recieved a raise in 3 years. Explain how this is logical?

Cool pic, uh? What a loser! Standing outside in the freezing cold! Like anyone's ever going to BUY a bloody snowball! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
![]() Well. Maybe. Perhaps ... someone crazy like me will come by and think this guy is such a fruitcake, what a blast ... and I will actually give him a couple of $$ and yep, purchase a ready made snowball. And, just maybe, a group of Japanese tourists see me do this and they want a photo - photos $2 each. And, others see this going on and wonder whats going down and they crowd around .. and group mentality says 'oh, I'd better get one and a photo' (reasoning: people don't walk into empty restaurants). And Mr Loser thinks - hell - I should charge a buck a piece and see who can throw the snowball the fartherest down the street.... and, and, And, now he's so busy collecting the bills that he doesn't have time to make the snowballs AND he needs someone to measure the throwing distance and bring him coffee because he's still freezing ... 2 employees. It's mindset. Oh, and I think courage. He did look stupidly ridiculous and his mates will have dissed him ... for a little while. Entrepreneurs don't worry about what other people think of them. 14 hours days are a pleasure and although they may have a few sleepness nights worrying about EVERYTHING going down the tubes .... don't ever think they don't have FUN. The posts I've read in this topic are very clearly divided between those who stay at home by the fire because it's too cold to stand in the street ... and those who will die of frostbite just trying to make something happen. (Go on, "Yes, but" me .....) |
