I know I do. Because they are to cheap to buy the tools we need to get the job done right. This saves them money and us employees have to make it work to get that part out in time. This makes us get stress out and start to have a bad attitude. If you quit our job, they know they can just hirer a new person to take over your spot. This sucks!! I am happy that I have a job. But why do these big business people have to be so uncaring!?

If you can find a job, anywhere that actually cares about the employees the way that they want to be treated, you'll find someone that is self employed. \nAs for your tool issue, don't look to far past your supervisor. That is where it usually stops.

Obviously these people are so screwed up, you getting fired was a blessing in disguise. Go do what you're good at, and never look back.

That's not a question.   It's a rant.  If you do the work, you will succeed.   Many Americans are among the laziest people around.  For some reason they think the world owes them.   It doesn't owe anyone anything, and other cultures realize that.   It doesn't even owe you a fair boss - and many aren't.  So adjust and get off your duff and do the work!

I think it takes close to nothing to get this kind of job. I'd say, if you don't put anything stupid on your resume or don't say anything stupid at the interview - you got it.\n\nI think for new stores there is slightly more competition for positions than for the ones that have "help wanted" sign in their window. So actually, that store being new lowers your chances, if anything, not improves them.

Some people thrive in this environment.  Not me:\nI worked in a call centre for 2 days.  I made my quota in the middle of the second day and told the supervisor that I was done and was quitting.\nI really did not like bothering people and was not about to put up with the abuse from people I contacted.

All these people complain about illegals taking there jobs but who the hell hires them if not people who are trying to save a buck here and there by hiring them for much less money than they know a person who lives here would if illegals knew that it would be a little harder to get a job over here i don't think there would be that many. We have to deal with those people too stop hiring illegals just so you can save a few bucks or stop charging them hundreds of dollars to get them across the illegals aren't the only ones to blame.

Because they purport to give advice, carry out an assignment, accomplish a mission, or embark on an enterprise for which they are uniquely unqualified and lack the talents, skills, knowledge, or experience required.\n\nThe answer is in the question.\n\nMight I suggest that if you have a problem at work, take it up with your superiors. If they don't do anything about it and it still really bothers you, it might be time to look for another job.\n\nRawlyn.

Good question.  I have a law degree, but due to my situation, I've had to work retail many times.  It's upsetting to be treated like that.  A lot of it may be that they don't think of anyone but themselves--that's how they got where they are, and they've forgotten that there are 6 billion other people in the world, most of whom are not as lucky as they are.

Yep, I quit my last job.  I worked in a furniture store, and for the most part it was okay.  But customers yelled at me for things I had no control over -- do they really think a cashier has control over the color of wood finish a bed has?  And my boss was a pain, she would yell at me for not going up to a customer and asking if they needed help every 20 seconds.  Excuse me for not wanting to harass people.  And worst was one of the assistant managers who was incredibly condescending.  So I quit and went back to school to get my masters.  Soon I'll own their asses.

I had a job where I actually printed out the invoices at the end of each day, so I knew how much money would be coming in to the company. But yet, I worked my butt off and had all the major accounts to take care of and when it was time for my review they had all this positive praise about me but when it came to how much of a raise I got it was an insult. They used the line "We had a rough quarter", meanwhile I know that is a crock of sh!t. I started getting an attitude because I felt cheated and unappreciated. So, you are not alone...there are a$$holes at all companies. They higher-ups like to get the raises while everyone else struggles. Welcome to "Corporate America"...it stinks!

No, because where I live you can be fired for ANY reason or NO REASON AT ALL. Consider that I've also seen racially motivated firings where the people who lost their jobs had no rights or protection at all. Also in my state the labor board will only enforce minimum wage without a contract. I've seen people put in a two week notice at a job only to have their last paycheck dropped to minimum wage out of revenge for them leaving. These laws favor corporations, not workers rights at all. I see nothing fair about that. To change these laws in our favor I'd be willing to see a law mandating giving at least a weeks notice before quitting a job. And the employer has to accept it, not tell you just to hit the door because you put in a notice.

I agree with Welltraveled.  Plus I've seen stuff like this before.  Not only could they be looking for an excuse to fire you, they could be trying to pressure you out while looking for your replacement. That way, if you quit, they don't have to pay unemployment or worry about lawsuits from firing you.  Welcome to the 21st century.\n\nRegardless, update that resume asap and start interviewing for other positions just in case.

you sound like myself.   I'm still in corporate america trying to find that small business that I start part-time (while still working) and grow it into something so that I can quit my job.     if you find anything I'd like to know and will be watching your question!  \n\nI just wanted you to know you're not alone.....

I don't think it's you.  It's probably the low-level jobs you've worked in the past that make you think you have ME.  Have you ever noticed that the higher-paying jobs are always the ones with the least amount of work and stress involved?

No.  The solution is to quit your job and start over at a new one.  This time, try not to be so nasty.
