That feeling of being stuck in mud in terms of where you’re at your life is never a good one.
We all find ourselves in ruts sometimes, but when it lasts for years, it makes a person question every decision they’ve made, and it leads to a lot of self-doubt.
The guy who wrote today’s story feels like he can’t ever catch a break, and he’s not sure how to break out of his slump.
Take a look at what he had to say about this.
Tired of getting jobs where I have to be asked to do dishes or take out trash.
“I am in my 30s.
Yeah I have no skills and decided to go to community college but I have a 4.0 GPA though.
Throughout all of my life I only got jobs at fast food, gas stations and in hospitality where I get the less desirable jobs with less tips. Never a promotion.
I live in Los Angeles so most people in hospitality are aspiring actors or models. They get the ‘good’ positions and they are never asked to do much of extra work or asked to help with dishes.
He sounds kinda bitter about this.
Every job I get whether it’s ‘breakfast attendant’ or ‘in-room dining server’ I am always being asked to wash dishes, take heavy trash out, even though there are people for these duties.
As a first-generation immigrant, I feel that has been partially a reason.
Like today. I work as a breakfast server at a small hotel. I have a coworker who is constantly does no show no call, comes in late as much as an hour, gets an equal portion of the tips.
What’s the point of this?
Management decided to send him home today, on one of the busiest days because he came in late.
They didn’t send him home on a Tuesday that’s less busy.
Now it’s Saturday morning and management didn’t order coffee, prep cooks didn’t prepare enough stuff for me to display and just having guests being rude. The chef said he will help and has disappeared.
I was so hoping to get an internship but it seems like community college students don’t get anything.”
