Besides working for yourself. Especially fuck those "corporate escapees" whose only income stream consists of advising others how to do so. Pretty much hucksters

when i was in the union i once had the craziest routine. I had to leave work in time to go to school. at 4:30 AM i would drive to work and get to work early so i could beat traffic and sleep in till the job started at 7am. The drive was 1 to 1.5+ hours depending on traffic. then before quitting time i had to leave early (the job knew/understood) and i would drive 2 hours to school. then i would stay till 9PM and i would drive an hour home. the worst was for two weeks, i worked 7 12 hour days (school two days a week).

I was so exausted a cop pulled me over and asked if i was doing drugs and if he could search my vehicle. fuck no you cant search my vehicle asshole. anyways thats how i learned as a woman i would never make it in the trade even if i wasnt going to school lol.

Back in the 90's after I graduated high school, I worked at Fedex, Tue-Sat 1:50-4:00 but somehow they thought it was a good idea to guarantee 17.5 hours a week. Total slave drivers. They always bragged about how UPS had a union but they didn't. Probably the worst job I ever had, and I used to clean toilets before that.

That sounds like they wanted to have a lot of employees available for busy periods or to fill in for each other. All part time employers do this but I’ve never heard of one pushing people down to 2 hour shifts.

No, you grab a fishing pole and a cat toy and drag it down the isles with a net in your hand pretending you know what your doing.

Military. And, I took a paycut going there from McDonald’s Not exaggerating. 2010-2011, I worked 12 hour days every day without a regular day off for two straight years. Hot water was a luxury.

At one point, I was rolling 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 48 off. Was actually really nice because i enjoyed the snow mobile and snow shoe patrols.

….And then they tried to tell me that I was the asshole for refusing to take an experimental injection.

Bruh. Should have stayed working for McDonald's. Would have at least had a 401k at this point.

When I was younger there was always a job listed in the paper as what was essentially a door to door knife salesman. I bet that's a lucrative business once you've guilted all your family and friends out of money... door to door knife salesman...

anyways unrelated to hours... selling knives door to door always struck me as a bad idea

Cutco. I had two friends in high school who got that job.

One of them had it go about how you expected. Sold a couple single knives to his parents and such, decided knocking on doors was terrible, and quit shortly after.

The other did really well and liked it. She sold a ton of fancy knife sets almost all of them cold knocking door to door to strangers. She bought a pretty cool (for a teenager) car with the money she made.

The moral of the story could be that some people are good at sales and some aren't. However, the first friend was just some average teenage boy everyone prolly thought was a dumbass, and the second friend was an attractive teenage girl. I'm now wondering how many suburban perverts bought knives just to flirt with her.

Moral of the story is no one expects a woman to stab em.

That probably helps too.

10 or 20 years ago I might have bought Cutco knives from a door to door salesman. They weren’t in stores. It was hard to find them.

Now you can order them directly off of their website.

In the water industry, we never have set hours. I'm used to 10 to 12 hour days. When I did ponds, we had some jobs in the Hamptons working from 7 to past 8 o'clock at night.
