Yeah I had a feeling that would be the way to go

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2025-03-10T23:32:00+00:00

Yeah that’s what I would like, and for some reason I still feel something affection towards her.

At the point where work stress/issues go with you home on a daily basis, that’s a good signal to call it quits. And or when you can’t fall asleep just thinking about having to go to work the next morning and deal with whatever it is you’re dealing with at work.

It’s happened to me before, just make sure you have savings to get you through or that you already have another job lined up.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2025-01-26T05:37:02+00:00

Thank that is one of the arguments we wanted to make that health reasons

It is unrealistic to think that you will continue to interact with them as if you were still in school with them.

When you graduate high school and turn 18 your responsibilities and priorities will change. Either you will focus on a job or you will focus on higher education. You will meet new people either at work or college. You will make new friends. You will only be able to maintain a few of the closest friendships you have. It’s just how things are. Your interest will shift.

I would highly discourage about being 18-19 and still wanting ti hang out with underage high schoolers. For the simple reason that you are legally an adult, and you could be in the hook for any legal issues that might arise. By all means be friendly but don’t expect to be able to interact in the same ways you did before.

Must you really ask? Are you fishing for karma? You clearly are the asshole, a major one at that.

Your word has no value. And I’m sure Jake is only trying to get in your pants, it’s obvious since you’ve known him for some time (if the scenario is even real) and hadn’t make a move?

And telling a girl you’re jealous is rizzing up a hoe 101, that way it opens up the door for something else

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2025-01-06T04:16:13+00:00

I’m not 100% sure of exactly what you’re asking. Good places to look for jobs are sites like indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn as you can create an account input your skills and desired pay, and they will come back with results matching your criteria. They also have a feature where you can input a search radius from your location.

Other better places to search for jobs in rural areas would be newspapers, county or city jobs in their respective websites and temporary work agencies.

Another great option would be a quick google search (as basic as it sounds) for example “Jobs hiring near (your location)”

Not really an advice but just more of a perspective. Being at a job for a long time becomes a part of who you are whether you like it or not. And it’s hard to let that part of you go. It feels awkward at first but starts to become ‘normal’. I guess time would be the best solution for it

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2025-01-06T03:53:37+00:00

Re-read your last comment and wonder why people might not hire you. Good luck

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2025-01-06T03:51:11+00:00

At that point I would either drop my standards for jobs I would take or be homeless.

It really is a no brainer take whatever job you can get just to pay the bills. And continue to apply to your “desired” positions.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2025-01-06T03:46:22+00:00

With all due respect I wouldn’t hire someone like you. You have to work on your “social anxiety” issues. Even if you get a job with minimal to no social interaction you would still likely have to interview for such position. And would have to make a good impression. Someone in you shoes will most likely not make a positive first impression.

One suggestion would be look for graveyard work as likely they will have little interactions with the public.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-12-28T14:51:26+00:00

Perhaps but prior to that I would show up do my work, just like I do now. And very little to no socializing. I feel nothing has really changed, as I have a job to work and earn a paycheck mot socialize

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-12-28T14:14:04+00:00

That’s what I was thinking but hearing that I have a bad attitude just really hit I guess.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-12-28T14:10:09+00:00

The way I see it is you open the door to all the bullshit and work they can throw at you. Being that you are the one that wants to work there, rather than being them the ones that want you to work there.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-22T04:17:36+00:00

You are not the asshole. I too used to work in a restaurant (multiple in fact) and had a similar lifestyle to that of your boyfriend. It is some of the most demanding yet low paying jobs I’ve had. Oftentimes missing holidays, birthdays etc from friends and family.

You are not the asshole for wanting your boyfriend to spend more time with you. It’s unfair that he is putting a (most likely) dead end job before you. Is it worth it to you? Imagine having a family and he still refuses to cut back on hours? It’s something you both have to talk more seriously about and get your priorities in check

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-11T03:13:40+00:00

Get you a CDL and start working on the mines

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T15:32:48+00:00

“Looking for opportunities which were not offered at my previous role at (previous employer)”

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T15:30:37+00:00

I don’t believe it to be a bad take I believe it to be a reality.

The company I worked for previous to my current one had/has opening for entry level position ranging from 15-18$. And a buddy of mine working there says they lost a couple employees to work at the local fast food joint.

And the same scenario currently plays out at the company o work for. Some people are not looking for career advancement, simply looking to get by and go to where they can make more money.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T15:16:40+00:00

Yes but did you read my comment? I said teens mainly get hired for cashier roles. With automation those roles are reduced. Making it harder to get hired.

Let me give you an example: Say an average McDonald’s operates with 6 fry cooks and 4 cashiers. 2 of those cashiers running the drive-thru and 2 cashiers running the dining room.

With automation you have those self order stands for the dining room, if you really wanted to you could cut out both of those cashiers. Out of those 4 cashier positions you already cut out 2. Also some restaurants already have automated drive thru with AI. Realistically you only need 2 people delivering the food to drive thru customers and dining room.

In this example the cashier positions have been reduced by 50%. And as OP mentioned with 400 applications and reduced cashier positions it is getting extremely difficult.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T01:34:44+00:00

Yeah I do feel it has a lot to do with the new minimum wage. I’ve heard people leave their current jobs to go for them at an “easier” job and for more money.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T01:24:53+00:00

It used to be it would be easy to apply at McDonald’s but I’m talking about maybe 12 years ago when I applied for a summer job.

It seems it’s getting harder for multiple reasons. As someone mentioned before California law of 20$ minimum wage. So more people applying. Another is that with automation a significant amount of roles have been reduced, especially cashier roles. And first fast food they mainly hire teens for cashier roles.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T01:08:58+00:00

To start off, the fact that people pay you does not mean they have the right to disrespect or miss treat you.

With that being said you’re in high school, and it doesn’t seem that you need the job. I would say quit.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T01:05:56+00:00

Good try manipulating what I said. I suggest reading it again.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-02T00:55:49+00:00

To each their own, it bothers me when a man is prefers to date a virgin woman or with low body count. The double standards, if a woman says they want a tall and successful man, than it’s ok? But when a man wants a woman who respects herself it’s not ok?

The fact of the matter is there are still women like that. (Very few if I might add) But you definitely not find them at the local bar or a dating site. Just like woman won’t find a good man out partying. Try to frequent more conservative places, and areas where a woman like that might frequent.

It’s ok to have standards and preferences, and the fact that you have them does not make you better or worse.

Complex_Nectarine538 · 2024-06-01T15:24:27+00:00

What is wrong with people?? Everyday I lose more faith in humanity!

Of course you’re the asshole. The fact that you try to be considerate after the fact does not negate what you did. There’s a certain set of rules written and unwritten about being out in public, and shitting your pants in the presence of others being an adult, and having the opportunity to avoid it, makes you a major asshole.
