How my dad and grandma reacted when I was complaining about my current job. Thanks to my sister, my grandma found out about the situation of me not being on the schedule and not asking anyone, and said I was being irresponsible that way. First of all, my dad was ten minutes down the street and I wasn't sure how long he would wait for me before leaving (turned out they were still shopping, and shopped for about twenty minutes more after I arrived, but oh well). Second, the only managers left were busy trying to keep up with all of the orders. I wasn't going to pull one of them aside about that when there weren't enough people as there was. Seriously. And then she found out that I didn't like my job, and said it was because I was at the bottom, and that I wouldn't like any job if I stayed at the bottom. That's not true, though, because I was at the bottom at my summer job and loved it. Even if I was given the option, I probably wouldn't have wanted to move up, because all of the upper positions meant less time with the kids. I don't hate my current job because I'm at the bottom. I hate it because they keep telling me to go faster when I'm going as fast as I can. I'm sorry if that's not fast enough for you. Maybe that's why they're firing me (if they are, indeed, firing me. I'm not sure yet).
And then there was my dad, talking about how you can't be picky when you have bills to pay, which is true, but still. Doesn't mean I don't want a different, possibly better paying job.
