JobHunting #FindingGoodWork #CareerAdvice
Why Do Some Jobs Suck Butt? 🤔
Many people are frustrated with low wages and high expectations. Employers sometimes offer unfair payment for hard work. For example, in your context, a job that pays $12 and involves cleaning up after dogs on weekends is tough and doesn’t meet the cost of living.
Fair Wages and Expectations 💸
- Low Wages: Paying $12/hour for tasks requiring physical effort.
- High Expectations: Unreasonable demands without flexibility.
- No Sick Leave: No allowance for calling out sick can be risky for people with medical issues.
Strategies to Avoid Jobs You’ll Hate 🙅
- Freelancing – Offers flexibility and decent pay.
- Selling Clothes – A good way to make money on your schedule.
- Odd Jobs – Provides variety and isn’t monotonous.
Finding a Decent Career Path 🌟
Good pay, understanding management, and job satisfaction are crucial. Here’re some industry recommendations:
- Customer Service: Often offers flexible schedules.
- Administrative Roles: Do not usually require a degree.
- Tech Support: Companies provide training.
- Freelance Writing: Use your skills to earn from home.
How to Get Started Without a Degree 📈
- Gain Experience: Leverage your work experience.
- Learn Online: Free resources and courses can boost your resume.
- Networking: Connect with professionals in your desired industry.
Conclusion 🏁
Job hunting is tough, especially when low wages and high demands are rampant. But finding a satisfying career is possible by exploring various industries and leveraging your experience and skills without needing a degree. Keep your eyes open for opportunities that respect your time and health.

It’s a weekend only job…you’re surprised they aren’t paying 20 an hour unskilled weekend only labor? How much time off do you anticipate needing for 2 days worth of work? If these parameters count as “high expectations” I’m very curious what other professional roles you’ve held…
They are being upfront about what the role and schedule are about…which is becoming a rarity in this market.
Something tells me the wages being offered is not why you are still unemployed.
Shame on them and kudos to your response!
hahhahhahha can’t call out for being sick. Hard Pass. How do they get away with this lmao.
What is it with all the low paying jobs that treat people like shit? The employers I’ve worked for that have treated me the worst also paid me the least.
If you try to understand why are they saying this, they may look less evil.
I would guess they have poor experience with people frequently calling in sick (while probably not being sick, just having other plans for the weekend) and not doing the job.
Or you could be angry and think of them as the bad guys so you would feel better, like half of this sub.
Regardless of what you thought of COVID and everything that went with it, you would think that we would have learned (like it should have been set in stone) that it is okay to miss work when you are sick. Especially when you are contagious. How are we now WORSE than before COVID??
Great idea. Why let just one person be sick when we could *all* get sick at the same time? Duh.
