Gota drop post why u got fired -
Me and my boy got temp jobs at this lil junk mail distribution center in some industrial park in Ann Arbor. I worked a machine that wrapped mail bundles with string, can't remember what machine he worked but the ? sucked having to be on our feet the whole time with this monotonous ass ? . 4 hrs into it we get our lunch break. We walked down the block to Taco Bell, sat there and ate and decided that we weren't going back. We got back to the crib and called the temp agency up like "we both quit".

I worked Security for a week when i was 20. It was around my birthday too so i was turning 21. ? was terrible. I quit. I worked in the projects in the Bronx next to the Harlem River. I had to come from Brooklyn so that was already a bad start. To make matters worse, the hours were from 3 to 11. I had to make sure i caught the bus or i would have to walk to the train because it stopped at 12. It was so cold, there was frozen ice on the River. They had me in the security booth manually lifting a metal pole to let cars into the parking lot and i didn't have gloves. I also only had a little heater and thin ass shoes. Then they put me in a building and dudes were hustling and rolling up in the lobby. I just read the paper. The cops raided and asked me why i didn't say anything to them cuz dude rolling up on the Security desk, and i'm like, i'm reading my paper officer, i didn't see it. The ? i look like debating with a squad of goons in they projects hustling and i'm brand new, like ? can't happen to me lol. I'm not housing police.
There was a flood in the lobby from a broken main and some old Asian dude died in his apartment and i had to witness this ? and call the ambulance. ? was the apocalypse. The last straw was when i went to get my check and people were complaining about not getting paid. I just walked out and never went back. The pay wasn't much anyway because fees were taking out for my license. I decided to go to college after that. -
Got a gig back when I was in college painting home exteriors. First job was a small 1 story house. Finished it with ease.
The next week we had a client but this time it was a 3 story house. Me and my homie was workin it but as soon as we needed to climb that ? with a tall ass ladder, we looked at each other like ? all that.
House left with only the first story painted, all supplies left at the site. They wasn't paying enough to do all that ? . -
Worked at KFC for 2 days then quit. ? was beyond disgusting in there. Never ate there again.

washing cars at Enterprise Car Rental
during winter. them 32 degrees and under temperature was the worst. quit in april that year. 2007 -
cleaning charter buses with some mexicans. Cleaning the bus with toothbrushes. I lasted a week, it was straight slavce work.
-
Never had a bad job per se. Had a gig at my school's golf course. I was a golf course assistant. Essentially clean the carts, pick the ? and wash clubs. It was chill, except weekends when it got hectic.
Pay was $7.25 an hour, but I would clear like $50 in tips. So usually my daily take away was mlre like $14 an hour. Not bad for a 19 yr college student.
Only prob was the upper management didnt seem to fond of me. I was this Nigerian dude who spoke about soccer and traveling while they wanted to talk about golf and beer.
Was there for about 3-4 months until the end of golfing season in fall. They never called me up for the next year. -
OOOOOOOOO
Just remembered the first job I had in Nigeria. This thing put me on the struggle of what the average Nigerian goes through.
After I finished my last set of exams in high school, I had about 2 months before the actual graduation ceremony.
My dad thought it be good for me to get some working experience to see how average people lived.
He talked to his friend and I worked construction for 2 months.
BOYYYYY!!! That ? aint no joke. Had to be at the site by 7:30am and wasnt getting home till 5:30. It was hot and sticky all the time (this is Abuja, Nigeria 85 degree heat my ? ).
Anyway, the people I worked with were pretty cool and the warehouse we were building was pretty cool.
What made my stay much better were these 2 ladies I used to see.
One lady was a project engineer, Halimah and she had this MASSIVE donk. I tried to finesse but her brother was my good coworker and she was about to get married.
The other lady was this lady that had a small restaurant where the construction workers (60+) would go buy lunch. She was from Benin (country near Nigeria) and had a foolishly ridiculous donk.
I could tell she was looking for a ? with bread and would ask me to use my phone and flirt and stuff. But the 17 yr old me didnt want to be ouvert because there were other workers there. I'd try to catch her after work but we could never link up. Asked for number but she said she didnt have a phone, proposed me to get her a phone (phones here like 40, but I was like nah).
Anyway, we could never properly link up.
Oh and the job? Paid 15,000 naira a month (at that time, about $100).
Funny thing is this, at the end of it all, I didnt even get paid. The client who was meant to pay us ran out of bread so they froze up the project.
I didnt get my paycheck until 1 year later.
P.S. about the lady, she moved back to Benin. I went back to the finished site last December and asked after her. -
Was living in Portsmouth, Virginia at the time. Place is like a country ghetto. The main generational source of income to sustain a family was working at the Naval Shipyard.
I got a gig digging ditches there (in ? gasoline). First day on the job and I'm being tortured by thoughts of "how the ? did my life turn out like this? I wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
My Brother was in the Navy at the time and he was always in trouble. Around 10:00 a.m, I made up my mind to quit. After inhaling those fumes & getting gasoline on my pants I bounced at 10:15.
As I was walking down the street, I saw my Brother walking up behind me. I asked him, "? are you doing here? He said shiiit, I just walked off the ship, ? this Navy ? , I'm going AWOL!!"
We caught the city bus home together, played Madden, and blazed one together. I stayed unemployed for the rest of the Summer, and he eventually got kicked out the Navy. -

Don't have any crazy bad job stories, but I worked at hardees as a teen during the summer through October of my Senior year of high school. This was also during the time when hardees sold chicken, biscuits, and other sides as well. I hated coming home smelling like burgers, biscuits, and chicken all mixed together. It was in a military town by Ft. Stewart, Ga so you had alot of military dependents being ? in the drivethru. Of course family and friends came through thinking I was supposed to give them the hook up everytime they came in.
I had a manager who was just a ? , and thought this was a career. I woke up one Saturday morning and just decided I wasn't coming back. I remember when I went in to pick up my last check, they had me sign some exit paperwork stating that I could never work at Hardees again because I didn't give notice. I just laughed and walked off. -
Bouncer in the hood when I was younger. I always been a big dude when breaking up a fight and knocking a ? out in self defense and three of his boys pulled out there strap I decided on the spot that I was going to get an education and a nice high paying office job.
Few years later and after joining the army I almost have my bachelors and a decent job paying well. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND BEING A BOUNCER!!! Only perk is chicks use to ? us to get in. -

Don't. If you honestly are looking at being a bouncer then you should just take a step up the ladder and be a security guard for a private facilitate or mall, and get a handgun permit.
Bouncer is such a ? job and club/bar owners are maybe just a step above car dealers, and shuckster lawyers/public defenders, overall just ? people who will try to cheat you out of your pay -
Medical Courier. Did that for over 3 years. Was already thinking about quitting because they didn't want to promote me for various reasons. Made it easier to leave when they shorted my pay on one check

LOL! I was stationed up there.
I worked as that security guard at Grinders a lapdance club in Portsmouth. Long story short. I ? so many women there but one mfer threatened my life after we kicked him out. He came back the next day so we whooped his ass. I knew I had to quit cause that ? was on repeat every week. The amount of ? was hard to give up.
Had another security job a the food lion in Churchland, VA. Same ? but them mfers rob the place. No more. -

I did Cutco as well after freshman year in college. Same exact thing, super vague description then you had a presentation with some clown cutting ropes and pennies with a knife. Left after the first day... -
Landscaping job fresh outta high school. Was cutting right-aways for all the local plant giants in Louisiana. Swiped my weed eater at a patch of grass and baby snakes flew out every where like some orichimaru jutsu. The week before me and my foreman had to run from a swarm of bees that chased us through a sugar cane field. The same foreman got our tractor stuck in a swamp infested with alligators and ? went Indiana Jones rigging come alongs, chains, and planks to rescue him. Chevy trucks earned my respect that day.
All that for minimum wage, I lasted 4 weeks before I quit. -
prolly mcdonalds....i still had fun there... but that was prolly my only job that i knew wasn't about ?
the manager used to get overhype about dumb ? and i'd calmly remind him we at mcdoanlds and none of that ? he talking really matters to anyone but him.....
he used to get furious....i quit after like 3-4 months -
Only time I ever worked in fast food was Burger King when I was 16. Only lasted about a month.
The shift manager was a white lady whose name I don't even remember. But she had a form of dwarfism and a DJ Paul from Three 6 Mafia arm.
On top of that, her voice sounded like what Macy Gray must've sounded like at 4 years old so it didn't carry that well and took getting used to.
I never got used to it.
She'd be barking new customers orders and everyone more accustomed to her voice would respond accordingly but me. She she'd get frustrated because she actually have to scurry her little ass back to where I was at the broiler to hear her.
I'd just laugh at her frustrations like fuckit.
The only other black dude that worked my shift wore shorts with long socks and wanted to talk about fixin up old school cars all the time.
Ironically the last night I ever worked there I had a good night. I was cracking jokes with my coworkers and showing some personality.
Then like homie from Office Space, I didn't really quit, I just stopped going. -
Circuit city. Went at 8am for orientation on the first day. Went to lunch at noon. Never went back.
