So they are really into the whole “not a business, we’re family” type shit. My boss called me a few times like an hr after work to see what I learned today. I learned that you’re a fuckin asshole w no boundaries dude. Get this, today for morning meeting, he tells us about how “actually, people in poverty are much more similar to wealthy people. And poor and rich people are similar because they’re complacent.” We’re supposed to write down notes smh. Halfway through his dumbass speech, I just started writing up a critique of everything he said. Like sure, inheritance and intergenerational wealth play NO role at all dude, just grind more. What metaphysical bullshit. Tbh if they keep pushing this class collaboration, idealistic view of the world just to act like we need to work harder, I’m gonna look for a new job.

A Bullshit job, full stop. I recognize it but just wanna stick around long enough so it doesn’t look bad on a resume. Basically our state is giving away free phones to people receiving Medicaid, food stamps, etc. I’m the unlucky asshole tht has go walk around the hood trying to activate these phones for people. So that means Door-to-door, but at least its free so its not really a salesman thing. I thought it was an office job because they call for business casual dress and I was interviewed for an office job, SURPRISE!!! It’s actually door to door in the dead of Winter!🙁 Well at least they have a book club…. What? Wait a second, your book club ONLY chooses books chosen by the Boss and its all just Self-Help books and grindset books?🤢I think I’m gonna be sick🤮

You don’t have to list it on a résumé or as a reference. You were lied to at the interview and that’s enough reason to quit. At will employment works both ways.

True, only thing is I need to find a replacement before I quit. Once I find a new job to replace this one I will not even give 2 weeks notice. I’ll just say I felt very lied to and the company culture was suffocating me.

Yeah, that makes sense. Good luck in quickly finding a replacement!

Shit they do it in Poland too, i can't count how many times i went for a job interview and had to sift though the bog of nonsense to finally get that it's about telemarketing or door to door selling insurances, and it's never in the fucking offer, always "office job", yeah right.
