I've hated every job I've ever had

I’ve had jobs that I liked but people had to mess them up, micromanaging or whatever. It seemed they would change rules that were no real benefit to the job or production but made it harder on the employees.

I do not understand management at certain places of business. When my son was in High school, he worked at a Wendy's restaurant as the fry, Grill guy. One Saturday two front line workers never came in to take orders and to run the pickup window, so my son did all three jobs getting all orders right and cooked timely, at the end of the day the store manager wrote him up for being too Efficient. I nearly lost my mind when he told me that once he got home, but he went right back to work his next shift and did not change his work ethic.

I quit buying anything ever again there as my protest.

Man, I feel you- same here.

I believe wiping the smile off as many faces as possible is at the top of their list of things to do. 😐👋

I have worked those sorts of jobs. I became cynical very quickly. I had to learn overnight that in corporate America, management can and WILL screw up your life, and as an employee, I had to be a team player, or be benched.

Just asking: What is the highest grade you completed in school? What certifications and or licensees do you have?

Quitting mine rn
I know the feel

I felt the same way except in one workplace. Quit because it wasn't paying very well but loved the job.

Then my suggestion is to go back to college to get a degree in a field you wish to be in.
