Yeah when I was just out of college I managed this ****ty store that had bad product and used to get abused by customers on the daily.

I handed my notice in and spent the next 2 weeks arguing back at customers and calling them *******s etc.

[x420SwagScopex]

For me it was when I was 19 and my 40 year old gay manager told me he thought I was hot. I Bert stared him, finished my shift, and never went back. Called in 5 minutes before my next shift started and told him I quit lmao.

Unpaid internship as a sports performance coach. The guy half way through my internship would just come late or text me saying it's on me that night like a fukking dip****

So I would lead sports performance sessions for young kids, high school girls, middle school kids, and 30 min classes for basically the parents from 4pm to 9pm AFTER I had classes from 8am to 3pm. This was the last semester of my senior year in college, so it was my only semester I wasn't an athlete, and I spent every night working for free for this guy, then running the business myself half the time. I had to do it though in order to graduate because an internship was required.

I basically ran a business with no experience while another guy made all the money, I made nothing, and had to learn how to deal with parents, kids, middle schoolers, high school kids, and I was only 22. Thankfully I was a college athlete so they listened to me and I had some idea of how to talk to them. I literally made workouts on the spot because he wouldn't tell me what he wanted to focus on and had zero written plans or ideas I could reference.

Fukk I hated every day though knowing I was making this fukker all this money without seeing a dime for all the time and work I put into that place. Boils my blood to this day.

That sounds infuriating man, was there really nothing you could do about it? Shoulda told your school that this dude was not even showing up and making you run his entire business for free.

No because he was actually the sports performance coach for a couple of my school's athletic teams too. Also my teacher for my internship course (I had to do a major project along with the internship so it was also a "class"), came and visited everyone's internship while they were working. The guy was there and he gave me a good review in person. So it was a weird situation. Everyone loved the guy. He was cool, and a funny guy, but on the back end he just used me as free labor so he can ride his motorcyle while I ran his business after the first month.

That's why I tell everyone in college to not work an internship for free. Your time and effort is always worth something in the working world.

I have had many.

Was working at this one place, making maybe $10/hr plus a commission. It was fair for what it was. They were doing construction on the building, and the contractor was crying because his day laborers didn't show up, putting him in a real bind. It was a cold, wet day, miserable AF, I don't blame them for not showing. Swaggerly manager had this idea to help the contractor out be having us hourly guys "grab some shovels and help out".

And you told your manager to get fukd I’m assuming?

[WeBoutDat]

Every fukking day.

[Gewiss94]

Very often at work. Happened today, likely to happen tomorrow. And with all this COVID crap promotions and raises are gonna be non-existant this year so I'll have nothing to show for having to deal with stuff that is way above my pay grade.

Their is no such thing as commission in construction, bonuses maybe but never “commission”.

When I was younger and working retail, I used to get so mad at my worthless managers that I would steal a bunch of stuff.

They usually had no clue what was going on, but would come up to me and tell me to do something unnecessary just to stroke their egos I guess. I would tell them OK then not do it and go back to the work that needed to be done, but I was so irked at their arrogance that I would take random things home with me.

Some bozo manager at Target in the 90's was never around, but told me I need to work faster. I asked my direct supervisors if I was going too slow and they told me to ignore him, that he said that to everyone, trying to get more work out of them. He really thought he was that slick.

I stole a bunch of stuff from his office and started taking things from the stockroom because I knew where the cameras were.

I worked in a meat department at a grocery store at 19, and some bimbo who worked there would come find random things to bitch about to me, so I would grind up a bunch of filet mignon and sell it as ground beef.

I've reformed since then and, in retrospect, wish I had quit those jobs instead.

[Jestbrah]

yeah, with my bodybuilding lol

brb 24/7 lifestyle and i spend 10k on it a year and make nothing(will though pretty soon when I start coaching/sponsorships)

[Visel]

Yes but rarely.

Either because I gotta get on bridge calls and interface with legal/executives/directors/ISOs or even VPs... and other companies' legal/executives/directors/ISO's/CEO's on even rarer occasions, and hosting calls/meetings with such individuals. When I'm not doing those things, I feel like I'm overpaid. But when I'm doing those things I feel like I'm underpaid. Thankfully, again, I rarely ever do the things that make me feel underpaid so it's cool. But those moments suck.
