        You don’t know how agonizing and back-breaking it is to spend 20 minutes digging through emails to find my employer identification number and having to drive to Best Buy to get more ink so I can print motivational posters with the Getty watermark still on them. I have to spend minutes of my day contemplating what I should tell other people to do for me. Sometimes I even have to sit down and fill out a sheet of paper! After all is said and done I only have eight hours remaining to decide what boat I should buy to replace my own one.

          There it is, the braindead retort of every drunk driving trust fund brat who's daddy owns a failing business that would go under in six months if it wasn't for low interest rates

          The fact you think that's a reasonable reply definitely means you don't work for living, ask your dad if I can bum a 100 bucks bro

          I recently switched jobs. It was 80% about pay and 20% about management at the old place tripping over their own dicks all the time.

          The old place had good parties though.

        It's an estimate but minimum wage work in places like coffee shops is up there among jobs that pay lowest per labour value.

        Go figure bootlickers condescend to coffee shop workers and say that's "not a real job."

    I've seen guild invitations claiming to be "ZERO DRAMA" in numerous online games.

    When that's said, the "drama" comes from inside the house and was already there.

      Big corpo jobs are fucked, yes, but my worst bosses were small business tyrants. Even corpos have some internal sense of organizational standards that most petty bosses also have to adhere to, but small business tyrants have little crowns on their heads.

        There is one exception to the rule: local non-profits.

        But they're strapped for cash so it's not like they can pay you much even if they wanted to.

      Based off the comments on this post, I'm just now realizing that my experience has been pretty atypical. I've always had a better time working for local businesses, but I guess I've just been lucky.

      For example, I'm working at a pizzeria right now and the owner will deliver pizzas or work in the kitchen pretty frequently. He pays us above min wage (not very common for a pizza job here) and makes sure tips are split evenly between foh and boh. It's a much better environment than when I worked corporate fast food stuff. I find that working for a well liked local businesses can make working feel a bit less alienating. But again, I guess I've just been lucky with the jobs I've managed to land.

    Worked at a warehouse for a small family owned business once and now I work at an Amazon warehouse and it's like fucking night and day. At least Amazon managers have no like personal investment in the goings on really, everything is just numbers and you're just one cog out of many so its easy to avoid scrutiny. If a small business tyrant decides they don't like you? Good fucking luck.

      I have a similar experience while looking for a place to rent. A few private landlords said "no foreigners", one refused to believe my female S.O. made median wage for a man in our city and demanded to see her tax documents, and one tried inserting a clause into the lease saying I'm not allowed to cook "ethnic foods" (lmao).

      At that point even the realtor was shocked at how shitty these people were being and referred me to a big corporate landlord. They asked to see my ID, my pay slips, and then handed me their standard terms and conditions. I moved in that week.

      I am in no way defending any landlord ever, but sometimes being just another number can work to your advantage. Numbers don't have skin color or nationality or gender.

      Small business i used to work at tried to not pay me for 20 hours worth of work. Thankfully I had been recording the hours I worked because I like recording stuff and could show them the pics I took.

      Later they started using these wipes I had allergic reactions to, then lied about using them when I was very clearly having an allergic reaction, and then stopped giving me hours after I sent them a picture of a thing my allergist gave me that said I'm allergic to an ingredient in those wipes.

      I worked for a gigantic company with sites all over the world and I offhandedly told someone im allergic to the hand soap so I bring my own. That same day the person who coordinates supplies for all the sites in my part of state emailed me about switching the my site to a different soap that I can tolerate.

      Fuck that company too (ceo is a nepo baby) but small businesses commit the majority of wage theft and their owners are more likely to breathe down your neck

        Well technically my facility still does 5 days/8 hours so it's not as bad. Honestly the standing up all day is nothing compared to having to wake up at 2 am and get to work by 3:20. It's absolute ass. But they pay more than $20 an hour and have health vision and dental benefits for a pretty low cost. It beats retail that's for sure

    $12 per hour = works like two people

    And yet only gets paid 1.25x what the minimum wage person does
