When You Realize A Job Isn’t For You Right In The Middle of Training

[Born2BKing]

What why lol????

This was like 10 years ago. Job was paying like 40k, and the dude told me on the first day they usually work from 5:30-6am to 10pm everyday. And that shyt was salaried, not hourly. I said yeah, that's a no for me dawg.

I had a job like this and to this day I regret not leaving on my lunch break instead of staying that entire first and last day. At one point the guy training me was showing me what I would be doing the next day and I was just shaking my head but thinking “ I ain’t coming back”. Worked 11am-11pm first day. I blocked they numbers and threw away all the company t-shirts and never went back.

This literally happened with me a couple of months back. My roommates mom hooked me up with a job at her business in a call center. I was going into it thinking it was going to be the easiest thing ever. I pushed through training, but the first day was when it started to go down hill. Every single call I was getting cussed out. By the end of the week I was out. I went into the office and told them when I started my lunch break. I was originally going to come back in and finish the rest of the day, but I just decided to head home after getting my food.

You were about to be a cutlery salesman?

Breh, I saw the Lamborghini outside and I looked around my fellow salemans, convinced I could outsell them and get my own in a few years. Had the shyt laid out in my head. Then it hit me, they said no cold calling, we had to get referrals. So I had to start with family and friends and acquaintances. Black people ain't buying that shyt, lolol. Only time in my life I ever got hustled like that.

Give us the details bruh lol

After leaving my job as a bill collector I started to run out of money so I looked in the classified ads and the first thing that caught my eye was an ad that said $2000 a week...of course I already broke out that calculator and got all excited. I got suited and booted, went to the office, and the red flags started flying; it was in some old ass building and the interview process was just too easy.

So I made it to the first day and it seemed mad cultist, the first day they played a gang of pop songs(I remember Toxic by Britney Spears ) to get everyone hyped up, and then the spiel...it was a door to door sales job I was willing to give it a chance until they mentioned that you don't make anything unless you follow through with a complete appointment. We all hop in the van and walk around a neighborhood aimlessly, and they show what we had to do... shyt was like one of them informercials had to clean a whole section of their house and shyt...and we had to be suited up too. I dipped after two days, pissed as fukk.

Only once. I sat through a cutco knives presentation to be a salesman as a teenager and halfway through the presentation, the epiphany (and reality) was, how in the hell am I going to sell some damn knives and scissors for $250?

I had already paid my money for my trial set so I stuck with the presentation, went home, got clowned by my mom and went to find a real job.

I actually have a good friend that made good money doing that...he's been at it for a solid decade or two

This is before electric companies went to remote meter reading.
When I first moved back to Houston I worked for Centerpoint Energy.
Couldn’t find anything with my degree and I just needed a job.
So they gave you a scanner and you either had to jump fences to get to the meter to read it
Or knock on the door to see if someone was home and would they let you in through their back door/open their fence
Now before the job you had to be able to run I think 8 miles in under 15mins
I was a fat boy, 10 piece eating ass nikka then
Anyway they dropped us off at Memorial Park and if you are from Houston you know how big that fukking park is
While running I knew this was not the job for my fat ass but I persevered through
First two days was easy because I had a trainer and they did most of the work
Third day and I’ll never forget it
You are on your own and here’s a map of the neighborhood
Now this is in the middle of August in Houston where it may say it’s 90 degrees but with humidity that shyt feels like 110
And this was before iPhones and shyt where you could just use GPS
So imagine walking around in feel like 110 weather
One bottle of Gatorade for the whole day
Dropped off in a “nice”neighborhood and you are 6’0, 245 chocolate black man
Anyway the first half of the route was pretty easy
Didn’t have to jump any fences, no dogs and if there was a dog
It was friendly and just wanted pets/play when I walked in the back
Welp that shyt went to hell around 12pm
I got lost, nobody was at home, so I’m just jumping fences and doing double work because those meters were already read by someone else and I had to be done by 1pm
So I just started finessing numbers to get done and try to find my way back to the starting point to catch the van back downtown
Couldn’t even do that with that fukking mapquest bullshyt
Supervisor was driving around until she finally found me
Where the fukk were you
I was just finishing up the last meter
You are way too slow and I expect you to be better tomorrow
Coworkers
Me:
That night I threw all that Centerpoint shyt away and never again
Had a couple office gigs but they where through temp agencies
So if anybody has been through that process
Got on with the Post Office and was about to quit too
But I persevered through that
15 years deep but my body ain’t shyt
Even after getting in shape
Take care of your backs young brehs
Now I sit behind a computer watching other carriers scanners from 6-2 and do my side hustle whenever now

This shyt is sooo funny to me becuz I've been through this multiple times where I was like "Hell naw I ain't doin this shyt"

When somebody keeps saying "It ain't that hard" a bunch of times u know it's gonna be some bullshyt

This is exactly what working is now.

Employers just trying to work the shyt out of you.

I swear most of them jobs that say u can make $2000 a month with no experience are commission based sales jobs lol

They always trap people that don't know any better hahaha

Bruh I was younger and ain't know any better, soon as that mental calculator pops up in your mind you lose all sense of reality lol

But I know now though. Crazy thing is people actually thrive there, but they knew or did nothing else... everyone seemed like they had no friends or lives outside of that. That was the main reason I didn't give it a shot.
