i quit my job

trent bortknob · October 18, 2009 08:27 PM

i worked at hollister and i hated it a whole lot

after working there for 4 months i was just like "ok this isnt going to get any better"

there barely gave me any fucking hours anyway, but when they did the work was basically unbearable

1. i had to do a bunch of tasks that i didnt care about
2. when i completed a task it was pretty much completely undone the next week so that the store would have a new layout so i didnt really feel like i was doing anything important
3. the managers were all kind of annoying and constantly told me to work faster
4. i couldnt work fast enough because i hated everything i was doing and everything around me

so basically i didnt want to talk to anybody and even though i tried my best to work hard, i just was so miserable there that i couldnt work fast

there was this one area of the store that i had to set up today and it was supposed to take an hour and a half but i took 4 and a half hours to do it and i barely had enough time to clock out

i\\\'m not the kind of person that can work efficiently i guess. i have a hard time making something good (in this case folding and making it look good) but doing it quickly and i dont know why

i have to look for a new job now and i know that im definitely going to be more particular about what i do because i cant just do whatever will get me a paycheck or else i\\\'ll just get fired

anyone have any recommendations on what i should do??

also the smell of the store gave me a headache and so did the punding and obnoxious music

*pounding

yeah um hollister sucks i can't even be in there for 5 minutes i can't imagine working there and having to be around that

i don't have any recommendations for work cuz i havent done anything outside of what i do now that i liked, which isn't much but it wasn't retail. although all my friends say retail sucks, i could see why

it's terrible

the only living i could possibly have is something creative/in the art/music industry

if you have a driver's license, go be a pizza delivery boy. Some of my friends do that and they say it pays well (for what they're doing), you get tips at like every house and it's the most chill job ever, cause you basically just drive around in a car that's not even yours.

that sounds pretty bodacious

psi43 · October 18, 2009 08:56 PM

what I do though is, i stay in front of a store for 7 hours trying to promote a product (mostly a shisha or tobacco) and no matter how many costumers I attract, I get paid 50€ for that 7 hours of "work". I usually just talk to friends i meet there.

I think all jobs are ok except the ones that force you to use the "uniform" like in fast food restaurants n such.

Just walking by Hollister gives me a headache because of all the perfume and cologne wafting out.

Dude you gotta be fuckin careful when you do that, there are some pretty crazy people out there. My brother was one for several years but stopped the day someone called him over just so they could pound his head in with a brick. He still had a scar from it right about his hairline.

Easiest way to make money over 18 (Yes 18) is to become a bartender.

RobHalford · October 18, 2009 11:15 PM

Yeah, great hours, fun atmosphere....

hollister is owned by abercrombie and it's basically the exact same thing except that hollister has pictures of beaches and people in swim suits instead of people in underwear

It's been known to happen before. We Americans will do anything for free pizza.
