me: i don’t wanna be a cog in the capitalist machine!! my job doesn’t care about me and i literally don’t get paid enough to care about it!!

the part of me relentlessly scrutinized for being the family fuckup: but,,,,when i do good job customers like me,,,,when i do extra managers think i’m the best,,,,

#bird noises #work sucks in a lot of ways #it’s just food service nothing special and it will destroy my body eventually #but also it is genuinely better for my mental health to just. get positive feedback and interact with people in a nice way #i havent really had any terrible customers yet. the occasional grumpy or kinda rude one but nothing i cant shake off in a second #that probably helps #its funny bc my parents notice the difference and its like GEE I WONDER HOW ELSE THIS COULD HAVE OCCURRED #PERHAPS IF THE HUMANS I LIVE WITH WERE ALSO NICE TO ME #but alas……#anyway thinking about this bc i accidentally volunteered myself to do two people’s closing tasks and that sucked #but my manager said im amazing soooooooooo maybe it was worth it #i’m gonna fight whoever’s in charge of their advertising tho for saying they have a ‘competitive wage’#which is $3-4 less than the nearby ‘good’ places money-wise AND ALSO. exactly the same or less than what people were making at this location #THREE YEARS AGO #which i know because i worked here. making $2.50 less. but i talked to the new hires and found out they made a good chunk more #we do get tips which is like an extra $1-1.50 so thats nice but its not competitive my friend #its barely acceptable #theyre lucky no one else would hire me #also pisses me off bc their main website advertises their starting wages as ACTUALLY competitive but c’est la vie #i’m in a weird situation where i need to Be Employed more than i need money per se so i’m fine with it for now #wren stop talking about panera challenge
