Get a Job
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Have one? Want one? Need one? Is it the answer? Is it a real
|
|
job? Looking for a better one? Any of that sound familiar to you?
|
|
|
|
Thing is, having a job doesn't mean shit anymore. It no longer
|
|
is a guarantee of money coming in. No longer does it mean you will be
|
|
able to support yourself, let alone your family. No longer does it
|
|
mean you can rely on company benefits to cover medical problems.
|
|
It used to be that if you had a job, and had been with a business
|
|
or company for a year or so, you were pretty much set for life if you
|
|
wished. No matter what, you would usually stay there provided you
|
|
worked pretty hard and did pretty good. A while back there was no
|
|
worry about a company laying people off because of lack of business.
|
|
A few years in the company and some work above and beyond and you
|
|
could usually get a promotion of some sort. Pay increases were more
|
|
likely to happen, job benefits were greater etc.
|
|
These days though, it is much different. You can work for
|
|
some business for a year, get no promotion, and little/no raise.
|
|
You are nothing more than a number to your superiors, and nothing
|
|
more than a statistic to corporate. You have to bust your ass to
|
|
keep your job since so many unemployed people are out there. If
|
|
you fuck up, you stand a good chance of loosing your job, or you
|
|
will be talked into quiting, or maybe even harassed into leaving.
|
|
Point is, unless you are management, your job isn't worth shit.
|
|
|
|
BUT, these days, being a manager doesn't mean shit. Just a
|
|
few weeks ago, at the store I work at, our General Store manager
|
|
was fired with basically less than a days warning. Five members
|
|
of corporate level management came in, audited the store, looked
|
|
over some other stuff, then proceeded to fire the GSM, and the
|
|
RSM (Retail Sales Manager). These are the two biggest positions
|
|
in the store. We have a total of 9 managers, 70+ employees.
|
|
That shows you the responsability of these two people. Despite that,
|
|
both were gone, never to work for Tandy corporation again.
|
|
The reason why? Doesn't much matter. Point is, both are gone
|
|
and had no warning. Neither were told 'You are fucking up, fix it'.
|
|
Neither were warned 'Hate to say this, but we have to let you go. You
|
|
have a couple days to find other employment.' Nothing. Now both
|
|
are out of a job, both with families to worry about.
|
|
You may think 'Bah. Both were just high school grads, nothing
|
|
else going for them.' Maybe so, but look at the options presented
|
|
to college bound kids.
|
|
|
|
1) College. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt.
|
|
Graduation. _CHANCE_ of getting a stable job.
|
|
Good starting pay, but takes years to advance since
|
|
most people working with you have at least the same
|
|
level of education. Spend first 5-10 years of that
|
|
good job paying back for college loans.
|
|
|
|
2) Graduate High School. Work. Spend 20 years working
|
|
up through the company, pretty much guaranteed
|
|
a stable job and stable income, albeit lower than
|
|
many other options. Eventually become a store manager.
|
|
If you have a clue, possible move on into a district
|
|
level position. District Manger etc.
|
|
|
|
These days, both have the potential to pay off. Neither of
|
|
them have a good chance of success really unless you work your ass
|
|
off in either one. You say why not work your ass off in college so
|
|
you have a better job when you get out? Because working your ass
|
|
off depends on your degree. For any degree that pays a good starting
|
|
salary, you have to pay more for the college that offers those classes.
|
|
So work your ass off, pay more, payback more.
|
|
No matter how you look at it, you are screwed it seems. So
|
|
if your parents or teachers are giving you shit about going to
|
|
college, think of the ups AND the downs. College isn't a little
|
|
yellow brick road like they lead you to believe.
|
|
And believe me, working for a corporation and being a # or
|
|
statistic isn't much fun either. Just weigh your options and go with
|
|
what makes you happy. That is all that is important anymore and no
|
|
one cares about it.
