I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.

Did you quit or did someone noticed after 9 Months?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I quit when I got another job. My boss was gunning for me for other reasons when I left though.

Manager: "We're getting closer to finding out who pooped in the walk-in. It's just a matter of time."

Lightnsfw: "...So I'm quitting for unrelated reasons..."

Lmao my man came here with his green text telling everyone how happy he is for getting money for doing essentially nothing and people here are just straight up calling him a dumb poor bitch.

People see a 4chan post and just immediately go full hater mode.

Fucking ballistic

Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.

Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr.

[–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Depends on your area.

Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

$880 is how much people pay for a bedroom in someones else's house in my city.

*This is mostly because the zoning laws require all new apartment complexes to have one parking space per tenant which means land owners who want to develop their land to provide more density have to put in an underground parking garage on their lot which would make recouping the cost of development pretty much impossible (there's no room for surface lots). My city is almost entirely zoned this way which creates situations where the university is fully surrounded by single family homes that are "renovated" to provide jury rigged density.

Thats something like 50 percent of your pay in my area.

So this is why when I come in for the morning shift nothing has been done.

[–] ansiz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

This was how it was in the good old days working third shift at Walmarts back when they closed at like 9-10pm. You were just there to unload the trucks and restock the shelves, so our store would put the peddle down and be finished at 3-4 in the morning. Our shift was until 7am so we'd typical goof off playing video games in the electronics department or watching movies.
