I work at an Italian restaurant called Vic & Angelo’s. There is so many things I dislike about that place; more than I can count on my ten ashy dark fingers. The restaurant has gone downhill since I was hired there a year ago. My coworkers would most likely agree with me especially the ones that have worked there longer than me. I can go on all day on why I hate my job, but the top reasons I really hate working there because of how noisy it is, the smelly areas, and the unfairness to my fellow employees.
Firstly, I hate my job because they are really unfair with everything; servers and bartenders always get special treatment. Servers and bartenders get to do whatever they want whenever they want; they get to sit down and talk to friends that comes to visit without a word being said to them by a manager. One of the server’s friends came in to visit her, and she went to the

The bathroom smells so bad, and the air fresheners does not work. The smell of the bathroom resembles a porta potty that’s been used over 300 times at Sunfest on a humid Saturday night. It smells like a dumpster that has not been emptied for 3 months straight during the summer. The smell is a haunting; I would of thought something died in there, and the people who use the toilets and don’t flush after makes it smell worse than before. The kitchen also stinks really bad. The kitchen does not smell as bad as the bathroom but it is close. The kitchen has a stench that makes my eyes water when I walk through the door; the smell gets worse when the cooks open up fresh cans of clams. It smells like old sweaty, dirty gym socks. The dirty overused, black dishwater in the back of the kitchen smells identical to the freshly opened can of clams mixed with the smell of three-week old left over Chinese food. The crazy part is that the dishwashers do not think about draining the old dirty water, and putting fresh soap water back in the
Day after day, I work at Home Depot. I’ve worked at Home Depot for 6 months. My position there is a cashier. A few months have gone by and all I do is show up and do my job as a cashier. The cashiers have someone who runs the front end along with every register in the store, and that person is a head ashier. After what I see the head cashiers go through, I would never want to be a head cashier for the rest of my life.
I had just graduated high school and I wasn’t too interested in going to college. My plan was to enlist into the armed forces after high school, but I took things slow and decided I wanted to make a few bucks first. I had applied for Wal-Mart in late May and very much wanted the job. I called frequently to check on the status of my application and eventually they called me in for an interview. The interview itself took around three hours and I didn’t go home until about two in the morning. On June 10th, I got a call from Wal-Mart asking if there was any way possible I could go in the next day for training; I had been hired at Wal-Mart. Training was a fun experience with very fun and amazing people. I got paid 9.50 an hour, while I was in training as an overnight stocker; though my training took place in the day time. I thought that this was going to be and easy job. I have never been so wrong in my life.
I used to work at my local McDonalds for three years during high school. At first, I thought I was there just to make an extra quick buck to fund my weekend adventures, but later would turn into a key cog at the store as the crew trainer and starting to be prepped for a managerial spot. It was exciting, learning how to place orders for the store, make the work schedule and cycle counts among other things. Soon however, I started to realize how replaceable my coworkers a...
A few months ago while eating at Skylight Restaurant in Tumon, I witnessed a supervisor displaying incivility in the workplace. One of the workers handling the crepe section of the buffet was taking a great amount of time making crepes, which garnered a long line of customers. The supervisor saw this and started scolding the worker right in front of the customers and other workers around the
People will argue that having a low-paying job and freedom is better than a high-paying job and a 60-hour workweek. However many including myself, don’t share the views of Hal Niedzviecki’s essay’s “Stupid Jobs Are Good to Relax With”. Having a higher paying and longer hours provides much more income and allows for a lot more financial freedom. This freedom can help bring much more happiness into your life compared to the lower paying workweek. Hal Niedzviecki mentions many benefits to the easy jobs with low-paying workweeks in the following statement
We are appalled by the facts presented and we think that it’s not right anymore. The author wants us to see the truth behind the working conditions and feel like they are unacceptable. I feel as though we should protest the laws in place now that enable the dangerous conditions of these workplaces. As mentioned before, the “OSHA Reform Act” should be repealed because it prohibits OSHA from being able to inspect the factories. I think this is unacceptable and unethical because the act was put in place so factories do not lose money. Also, the rules in place at fast food restaurants, such as being trained before starting the job, should be more brutally enforced to ensure the workers’ safety. When I worked at a restaurant, the manager sometimes slacked on executing the rules so I didn’t know much about the job. I worked in a pizza restaurant that used cornmeal on the pans so the dough didn’t stick. When the cook took the pizza out of the oven, the cornmeal would fall on the floor making it slippery, but the manager never explained how to clean this up. Because of this, I would always slip on the piles of cornmeal while getting a pizza. Instead of owners and managers of fast food restaurants being worried about getting workers on the job more quickly, I think they should take their time explaining the job more carefully to prevent injury in the long
I would deal with this working environment every day. With so much responsibility and work to complete, my manager would sometimes think that it was fine if I would work the oven on my shift. So now I have to hand out all of the prizes, fix any broken game and ones that were acting up, hand out lost tokens to customers, get the pizza out of the oven to cut it and call it over the intercom to the customers.
I had applied for a job at Catholic Guardian society; in 2001 I did get the job. It was working with young girls in a group home, place there by the court. A group home is a place that children are sent to, once in foster care. A child can be in a group homes for many reasons; such as running away from home, not going to school and getting being arrested. I work every shift that was allowed, sometime doing doubles. When I started the job, I learn my way around fast. My partner was Michelle S.; she was great she began working there three years before me. Our primary job was to ensure the safety of these girls; their age would range from twelve through twenty-one. Our supervisor was great or so I thought. I soon realized that she was a horrible
Based off of the gratification an individual contains towards their work is job satisfaction. The productivity could either be positive or negative while the relationship between the productivity and satisfaction may not be consistent. There are multiple internal and external factors of job satisfaction that can impact the behavior of an employee and engagement over time. The way the worker’s attitude concerning their field effects the performance they perform on a daily basis. One who is satisfied with the job they maintain, succeed at what they do. “It is therefore imperative for a company to understand the attitude of its workers and measure the job satisfaction of its employees, as job satisfaction is essential for productivity” (L. Bradshaw
That experience was so taxing until I found myself dreading going to work and counting down the clock to go home. A sense of regret washed over me from the very moment I walked into my office. Needless to say, that my demeanor downgraded from a steadfast team oriented leader to it’s just a job type mindset. Being depressed, nervous, and sick every day due to not wanting to interact with my boss who was also the owner of the company took a toll on me. The leadership style that she developed consisted of being mean, rude, disrespectful, and instilling fear. The economy was unstable at that time, which struck fear in the other managers who wanted to leave, but was too afraid to do so; they became accustom to the treatment and assured me that I would do the same. However, being verbally abused is something that no one should have to become accustom to. Five months later I resigned.
I do not really like my job. It is a misunderstood job. It is expensive, not that m...
My grandfather was a police officer when he was younger; he would tell us stories of he and his buddies on motorcycle patrol and the life of a cop. The stories that he told were so interesting, that ever since, I wanted to have a career in law enforcement. After I graduated from high school, I enrolled in the law enforcement program at Spokane Community College where I planned to fulfill my dream of becoming a cop. I started the law enforcement classes at the college and came to the conclusion that law enforcement was not the career for me.
This thread will discuss and analyze the business problem of job dissatisfaction through the application of Core Self-Evaluations and the personality-job fit theory. This work will also offer a spiritual and biblical examination of job dissatisfaction as they relate to the biblical principle of Covenant. Two key elements of Covenant, hesed and mutual accountability will also be examined.
In every work place you will find employees who are happy with what they do and employees who are just there to complain and collect a paycheck. My topic for this discussion will cover job dissatisfaction.
The manager that was working was a lady named Tasha Bernard (name was changed to protect identity). The first thing that was rather noticeable to me while she was managing the store was she lacked the ability to actually manage the crew members, resulting in the lack of service provided to the customers. Additionally, she displayed complete apathy towards the job, especially when she blatantly answered her phone while distributing fries in a carton for a customer. I was able to interview a random customer named Pariss who witnessed this act and she stated, “Wow, is she really talking on her phone?”. “Where is the manager?. I sighed desperately and stated that she was in fact the manager of the night. This inevitably resulted in bickering among the manager and customer. In addition, the crew members displayed complete apathy towards providing “quality service” as well. They engaged in horse playing, texting, and someone was blasting music while “working”. Basically, everyone engaged in their own little world, lacking any sort of teamwork which is required in a fast food restaurant. Needless to say, the line extended all the way to the door and a roar of complaints filled the
